MSI rumored TriDef 3D laptops , no active shutters required

[Silversurfer]

We've heard this song and dance before, but DigiTimes has it that MSI is on pace to shove out a 3D laptop this September. Before you open that jaw and feign a yawn, you should know that the company is purportedly not following convention by integrating NVIDIA's 3D Vision technology; instead, it'll rely on Dynamic Digital Depth's (DDD's) TriDef 3D software for transferring 2D images to 3D. This means that users will be able to use cheap-o polarized glasses rather than the more expensive (and battery draining) active shutter variety. Somehow or another, the whole thing is supposed to launch at under a grand, so we'll be poking around on the IFA show floor hoping that this one comes to fruition.

hurray for healthy competition for/or against active shutter glasses enabled laptops. We may finally , as consumers, have a polarised choice .

Acer already had this for many months (first with AS5738DG, now with 2nd-gen AS5740DG (which seems hard to find in USA, but available in other countries)) at sub-$1000 price. Then Lenovo recently had an IdeaPad Y560 model with 3D (a higher-end, over $1000 configuration).
