Need for 3D
After a slow and uncertain beginning, 3D has now taken hold as a standard feature for premium entertainment. Purchase a £999 TV and, more likely than not, it will have some 3D trickery. Watch any Hollywood blockbuster film and, again, chances are that it will be presented in 3D.
As you may know, NVIDIA has been pushing 3D for its PC-based GeForce graphics cards for a while now. Outputted to an external display - either a TV or computer monitor - the company has worked hard with games developers to ensure that some of the latest titles offer compelling reasons to go down the 3D Vision route.
AMD, too, has cottoned-on to the fact that, whether you like it or not, 3D is here to stay. As such it has launched a similar program, dubbed HD3D, aimed at enabling users to run games and applications with 3D very much in mind.
Speaking from a PC viewpoint, one needs a 3D-capable graphics card, monitor, glasses and content. Now, 3D monitors are available in a wide variety of sizes and specifications. Complicating matter somewhat, you need to know which screen/glasses combinations works with a certain company's hardware.
