Original 17" IZ3D

[dukenukesam]

Hi,

Ive been offered the Original iZ3d 17" at $100.

Will the monitor work with the new iz3d drivers?

Anyone has this that can share their thoughts?

Thanks!

Alan

We don't do hardware reviews at MTBS, but I will make an exception in this case - only because you can do so much better with a later model and for reasonable cost.

The 17" model was a prototype for the later and much improved 22" iZ3D monitor. I have gone through two of them prior to the 22" release, and they didn't last long thanks to burning circuitry and blown screens. I also cut my hand twice on the sharped edged glass on the monitor's design when lifting it. It hurt!

Save your money for the modern version or something else - especially if you are buying this used.

Neil

See so 3d IS harmful

LOL the guy now says he will let it go for $50 . Hmmm, is it that bad? I have shutter glasses and hate the darkness of it, and without them I use anaglyph and colors suck. You having owned two of them, Is it at least better than shutter glasses and anaglyph?

It wont be soon until I get a 22" one so is it good for the time being?

$50 is safe. You will enjoy it. Save your money for something better, though!

Did You remember to do U-Decide? Maybe you can win a monitor!

What is U-decide? sounds like a contest but who is offering it?

I bought the monitor and I will report on it as soon as I get it.

Thanks everyone

Awesome!

UPDATE:

I plugged it in and something burned inside!!!

Turns out it is the Inverter board

I will let you guys know how much it costs to replace.

[Neil]

Dude! Don't waste your time.

Take that monitor back, and get yourself something modern. I went through two of those prototypes. It's not worth your time if it isn't working out of the box.

Dang its $125 for the Inverter.

Will save for a 22" instead.

I hope you get your money back.

I managed to get a InFocus IN1102 WXGA (1280 x 800) DLP projector 720p - 2200 ANSI lumens. Will play around with it. Also was wondering if anyone has a Sony FW900 24" CRT Monitor. I think it has 120hz refresh rate and 2000+ resolution and Im getting kind of interested in getting one.

[PalmerTech]

160hz refresh rate, actually. I use mine at 1440x900 at 160hz just fine!

[dukenukesam]

OMG! I will definitely try and get one. Thanks!

[PalmerTech]

No problem! Remember, you might have issues getting the refresh rate that high on higher resolutions... But CRTs are not like LCDs, where scaling looks ugly. There is no such thing as a real "Native" resolution that must be stuck to on CRTs, so even lower resolutions are very smooth.
