Behind the 3D scene

This week saw the launch of the ASUS VG236H 3D display, which was first introduced to the world at CeBIT way back in March.

The 23-inch display leverages on NVIDIA’s 3D Vision technology to bring Full HD 1080p 3D gaming to the masses, with alternate frame sequencing ensuring that 3D visuals run smoothly. Content is not an issue either, with over 400 PC game titles compatible with NVIDIA 3D Vision technology.

It’s easy to overlook that from an engineering standpoint, the VG236H is a technological showcase.

ASUS R&D teams are constantly pushing the envelope in a bid to enhance the overall experience for the consumer.

Let’s have a look at what goes into this 3D monitor:

Trace Free II technology is a combination of a 120Hz refresh rate and 2ms grey-to-grey response time to eliminate ghosting and trailers during movies and games. The 120Hz refresh rate doubles the number of frames per second, ensuring smooth playback; while the 2ms response time is achieved by through controlled voltage levels in the liquid crystal display.

ASUS’ Color Shine technology delivers 400 nits of ultra-brightness, translating to an improved projection of colours, even in 3D.

Its multiple film coats placed on the display ensure an exceptionally smooth surface that reduces the diffusion of light, resulting in clearer images and richer colour density and saturation.

ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence Technology comes with five pre-set modes (gaming, theater, night view, scenery and standard) that optimize colour fidelity. The incoming signal is processed through an analog-digital converter, which helps with image sharpness, as well as colour and contrast corrections, to enhance visuals. In gaming mode, it automatically lightens up dark areas while leaving well-lit ones untouched, and it does this without washing out the colours on screen.

3D technology is still in its infancy, so who knows what the future holds.

    I know VG236H display is a best monitor.
    But i have questions-Is VG236H is also available or will be available  in large display size?
    Is it possible to configure this monitor in to multiple display with nVidia GPU 3D vision?
    Obviously i’m asking this question for my gaming essentials.

    You should be able to plug in up to 3 to get stereoscopic surround 3D with Nvidia. I’m not sure about larger 120Hz displays though.

    Thanks for your support.
    Yeah its possible to connect 3 display in Nvidia GPUs but I prefer a large display as compare to 3 because 3 display will have extra panel,extra power consumption and specially extra cost.

    Well I also find during my search for 3D monitor that this monitor also comes in a larger size of 27″ wide screen VG278H but I couldn’t found any thing on ASUS official site.

    Really VG278H is available.

    Thanks

    It means there is no information about VG278H available?

    Not since CeBIT sorry :(

    Its okay 
    Thanks for support

    Hey Nick,
    I need your help for few questions.
    1.Why not ASUS makes universal 3D monitors,I mean monitors which support nVidia 3D stereoscopic as well as AMD HD3D technology?
    2.Why 2D to 3D converter feature is not available in 3D monitors?

    I think the two technologies are different but I don’t know the technical details sorry. I’ve tried looking on the AMD website and it’s extremely vague. Apparently they can be interconverted via software (http://3dvision-blog.com/deus-ex-human-revolution-amd-hd3d-to-3d-vision-wrapper-wip/) but it’s not common. 2D to 3D conversion is also down to the software/drivers too. The monitor merely has the ‘capacity’ to display the data given to it.

    Yeah its not common to interconvert these tech via software.
    But I couldn’t understand what are you trying to say ’bout 2D to  3D converter?

    2D to 3D conversion is done in the software – within Windows or the application, not the display itself. This is because the graphics card renders the image and can read the scene depth data directly. An LCD is only given the final result to display.

    I don’t think so.As I know 2D-3D conversion is done by a dedicated chip or simply processor which is embedded in monitoring device.Is it not?

    You *can* do it both ways, but the result is often much better if the software. There’s no fixed standard so making a processor to cover everything well is difficult.

    Is 27″ model coming?I’m waiting for my new 3D monitor.

    Hi Nick,
    A current news from nVidia ’bout its new 3D vision 2.nVidia is launching 3D vision 2 with new hardware and one of them new hardware is ASUS  VG278H with 3D vision 2 glasses.
    Do you have much information ’bout it?

  • Anonymous

    Should be coming very shortly :-) Either on here or on the official ASUS site.
