More 3D Display Action

A San Diego company Neurok Optics has partnered with a Taiwanese-based company called Chi Mei Optoelectronics to begin manufacturing 3D LCD displays. According to TWICE, "the company’s first product will be a 22W-inch LCD monitor capable of displaying 3D images into and out-of-screen when viewed with passive polarized glasses." It is intended to be used with a PC and will retail for $999 when it begins shipping in May.

Even though this is a PC monitor rather than an HDTV, it's only a matter of time before you start to see these in your friends' living rooms, particularly with the related story reported here earlier in the week about the NBA experimenting with 3D viewing for the All-Star Game festivities in Las Vegas next weekend.
