Quote from article: Taiwan panel makers such as CMO and CPT have already developed 3D LCD panels with CMO set to volume produce 22-inch 3D panels in the third quarter while CPT's 20.1-inch widescreen panel has gained attention from first-tier display vendors, according to sources. CT (Chun-Ting) Liu, AUO VP & GM of Consumer Product Display Operation, commented that 3D displays will be widely used in the game market first ... (end quote)
For S-3D gaming to take off we need 3 ingredients: display, driver, games. IZ3D monitors are great, but the reality is it is an expensive niche product, not enough by itself to push S-3D to mainstream. But this news is huge. This will provide enough volumes and will lead to mainstream pricing (there will be a premium at first, but should be much less than the $1000 IZ3D price). This will provide the critical mass and positive momentum that will convince the driver and game developers to come on board.
