ViewSonic today announced the release of their new 24” 3D PC gaming monitor. It allows those with an NVIDIA GeForce card to enable 3D in full 1080p, 60FPS on more than 550 games with a 120hz refresh rate and a 2ms response time. Combined with a 20,000,000:1 contrast ratio, users can expect a lot of fidelity from this monitor.

Gamers, movie buffs and photo enthusiasts will love moving up to 3D. And there’s no better way to do so than with ViewSonic’s V3D245 3D monitor, with its built-in NVIDIA 3D Vision technology, which produces the most immersive and crystal clear 3D images. Set-up is quick and easy. Simply connect the monitor to your NVIDIA GeForce graphics card, put on the included NVIDIA 3D Vision glasses, and start enjoying games, videos and photos in a whole new way

Said Phil Eisler, general manager of 3D Vision at NVIDIA.

Comes with glasses and a wireless emitter. With the included HDMI 1.4 input port you can connect to your PS3 or Blu-ray player to watch other 3D content. For those lacking in 3D content head to www.3DVisionLive.com where you’ll find hundreds of 3D video and 3D photos.

Why is this news-worthy? This seems more like an advert. As if vgchartz doesn't have enough already...

Interesting, it seems ADM has gone the way of using fully fledged 3D hardware instead of having it's own 3D emiter+gmasses as Nvidia... wonder if that makes it incompatible with multiple displays...

So, what about makin' a "AD" tag? And then, what about makin' a filter so we don't have to read this cr*p?

so the only difference with the 23" version is that it's 1920x1080 instead of 1650x900? (and LED I guess, the older model doesn't have the LED tag). It's 2x the price but includes the 150$ 3DVision kit... so really 350$ for the screen... I guess it's a decent deal. (there's already a 24" acer monitor out there... or one could go with projectors)

The 23 inch version is 1650x1050 and has a 3 ms response time. It has more ghosting cause of that... I would know as I have it. :)

The tech here is solid as is the fact that this does bot Nvidia 3D vision and HDMI 1.4 3d standards. However, playing or watching 3D on a 24 inch screen is really now recommended...
