MSI to launch 3D notebook in mid-September

Micro-Star International (MSI) is all set to launch 3D notebooks in the market in the mid of September this year.

The notebook will support 3D with passive (polarized) glasses and shall be available at a price below $ 934. MSI’s 3D notebook would have a display 15.6 inches wide, with 120 Hz re-fresh rate and playback mode at 60fps. The processor will be Intel Core i7 series.
The new MSI 3D notebook computer will support Intel integrated GPU with Dynamic Digital Depth’s (DDD’s) TriDef 3D software to convert 2D content into 3D.
MSI plans to make these notebooks in-house and then use polarized 3D technology along with companies like Acer, LG, Fujitsu and Lenovo for their 3D notebooks.
ASUS and Toshiba will use hardware-based NVIDIA 3D Vision technology instead of polarized 3D, making notebooks high-end and expensive.
The 3D effect will be generated when users wear passive 3D glasses. The motive behind using passive glasses is to make MSI 3D notebooks less expensive. Also, as you could buy multiple glasses, several users would be able to view 3D at the same time. This would be an expensive proposition when using active shutter 3D glasses.
Earlier, there were notebooks available with 3D content through NVIDIA 3D vision technology, but were not that affordable. With MSI’s new launch, we can expect more people opting for a 3D notebook – especially as the price is reasonable enough.
