3D gaming and movies looks to be the next logical stage when it arrives to video entertainment. Full HD displays are already normal now and another big attribute in high end displays is going to be 3D. From Anaglyph 3D to Stereoscopic 3D we've approach a long way since the days of the red and blue glasses. We've all seen NVIDIA’s GeForce 3DVision in act which effort very well but necessary some very classy tools. For example the 3D glasses alone cost 10K not to mention you had to invest in a 120Hz monitor which till today is hard to discover and costly. So how do you manage to give the 3D experience and cut costs at the same time? This is where TriDef 3D arrives into the picture.

The Acer 5738DG is the first commercially obtainable 3D notebook to appear in India. What Acer has done is apply the technology formed by DDD (Dynamic Digital Depth) called TriDef into their notebook. This contains a special polarized 3D screen that functions with passive polarized glasses to offer you the Stereoscopic 3D effect.

Some of the main benefits of using this technology over active shutter glasses are;

3D glasses require not be powered creating them cheaper to make
Screen require not have 120Hz refresh rate, again decreasing the cost
Works with ATI and NVIDIA graphics cards
Generally cheaper to apply
Works on Win XP also
