Planar Launches Affordable 3D-Ready Monitor

Planar takes a shot at gamers and entry-level professionals with new 3D-ready monitor

Monitor manufacturer Planar today introduces its new SA2311W 23-inch 3D-ready display for gaming and professional purposes. A 1920×1080 resolution panel delivers 2ms response times and a 120 Hz refresh rate, but Planar doesn’t mention the display technology, however, the quick response time suggests a TN-panel, much like other 3D-ready desktop displays.

NVIDIA graphics hardware and 3D Vision or 3D Vision Pro active shutter glasses and wireless transmitter are required to enable 3D on the Planar SA2311W. ATI users will have to look elsewhere as the Planar does not support AMD’s HD3D technology nor does AMD support the NVIDIA 3D Vision and 3D Vision Pro glasses.
