No need to stop the press or drop what you are doing but MTBS has received a press release (including images) from LG USA.com which has some interesting products for the commercial market which includes a True3D auto stereoscopic display for HD digital signage. Now even though these products are for the commercial and business market we hope that the ‘trickle-down effect’ will mean we eventually see some aspects of this technology in the home s-3D TV market sooner rather than later.
As I’m going to post the full press release below with the images provided I’m obviously not going in to specific details of the products listed below:

True 3-D auto stereoscopic monitor
Stretch Screen Monitor
Triple View digital monitor
Touch Screen Monitors
Secure data management Blu-ray 4TB NAS
