CES- To 3-D or not to 3-D is a post by from Notebooks.com.

]]> I mentioned yesterday that I was noticing a theme at this year’s CES.  It seemed to be all about 3-D.  Its 3-D on the television… 3-D gaming rigs… 3-D home movies..and of course, 3-D on laptops and desktops.

But, in talking with a friend of mine from the broadcasting community, no one is addressing a major point?  Will the 3-D experience we see in the theater (like Avatar) really rival what we will have at home?  Will there be any issues?  Will there be any side effects?

Side effects you ask?  Yes.  I know many a person who has health issues with 3-D movies.  It makes them a bit ill.

So in that vein, here is a video about 3-D..and does it make you queasy?

So, should we really have 3-D in the home?  Its a toss up, in more ways than one.

]]> 3dWell, its the end of my second full day at CES and I am beginning to notice a certain tone/buss for this year’s convention.  This year, its all about Access and Content.

What do I mean by this?

Access is about how consumers will access their data– network connected routers, 3G, WiMax, 4G.  And also on what platform– smartphone, PDA, gaming system or television.  Access is everything to everyone.

Content is about what kind of data.  Whether is movies, photos, DVDs, television programs– its all about data…and showing it in 3D.  To quote Shakepeare (sort of) “3D is the thing to catch the conscious of the king”..or in this case, the consumer.  See James Cameron and Avatar new something before we did!

I can’t wait to see how it plays out over the next few days…and which of these great ideas will make it to consumers in time for next year’s holiday buying madness.

]]> The upcoming Acer Aspire 5738DG is the first commercial notebook to come equipped with a 3D display which Acer is calling ‘TriDef’ (see what they did there?). The screen is most likely using a stereoscopic screen as it requires the user to wear the included polarized glasses in order to view 3D content using the notebook, but don’t worry, said glasses aren’t your standard cheapo cardboard and plastic red/blue glasses. Acer says that the in spectacles are sporty and stylish”, now all you need to do is decide whether or not you trust Acer’s sense of fashion…. Luckily, used without glasses, the notebook’s screen functions just like one would expected if it lacked a 3D display.

aspire 5738dg PCMag has gone hands-on with the yet released Aspire 5738DG and let’s us know how the display really functions. PCMag’s article can’t seem to stay away from the work gimmick” which in itself should make you realize that 3D displays are not the wave of the future. Though at least they say that the screen manages to provide a somewhat worthwhile experience, with (supported) games seeming to benefit the most from the 3D feature. Aside from the 3D display, the 5738DG is decidedly ordinary. At least it won’t cost too much. The 5738DG is a budget desktop replacement laptop and should be available for around $700. The following is a brief list of specs, and you can find a more inclusive list on Acer’s 5738DG product page.

  • 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU
  • 4GB of RAM
  • 500GB 5400 RMP HDD
  • 15.6” 1366×768 3D display
  • Windows 7 Home Premium operating system
  • HDMI output
