NVIDIA new wired 3D Vision glasses stop some freedom for a discount

New Wired Model Delivers Same Award-Wining 3D Vision Quality and contours With Sleek New Design, Making Full HD (1080p) 3D PC Gaming More Affordable

TAIPEI — (Marketwire) — 05/29/2011 — COMPUTEX 2011 — NVIDIA today announced a brand new addition to the NVIDIA® 3D Vision™ product family: NVIDIA 3D Vision wired glasses. The recent glasses make the world’s best 3D PC experience more cost-effective at $99 (U.S. MSRP), and offer an identical award-winning 3D quality and lines of 3D Vision wireless glasses.

NVIDIA 3D Vision wired glasses, which feature NVIDIA’s advanced active-shutter technology, allow gamers and 3D enthusiasts to access the broadest collection of high-quality 3D content available today, including greater than 525 full-HD 3D games, Blu-ray 3D movies, and streaming 3D video from YouTube and 3DVisionLive.com. NVIDIA 3D Vision wired glasses also support greater than 65 different 3D Vision monitors, notebooks, and projectors, giving users complete flexibility in configuring their 3D Vision PCs.

NVIDIA 3D Vision wired glasses include a ten-foot USB 2.0 cable for direct, easy connection to a 3D Vision PC or notebook. This makes it ideal for LAN gaming events and iCafe gaming centers, because it doesn’t require batteries and the cable can easily be secured to a computer with an optional computer lock to attenuate theft.

“3D Vision provides gamers and enthusiasts with the world’s largest ecosystem of 3D products and contours,” said Phil Eisler, general manager of 3D Vision at NVIDIA. “3D fans had been watching for more cost-effective glasses, and we’re expecting our new 3D Vision wired glasses to hit the sweet spot for them.”

NVIDIA 3D Vision wired glasses are expected to be available beginning in late-June 2011 from the NVIDIA Store, in addition to from leading retailers and e-tailers. For additional information about 3D Vision visit www.nvidia.com/3dvision.
