We are hoping you are not too attached to that 20-inch DX2000 you acquire from LG back in July. (You probably did rush out and purchase one, right?) ‘Cause the Korean manufacturer has just updated its line of eye-tracking , glasses-free 3D displays with the 25-inch DX2500! Identical to its smaller sibling, the DX2500 has a parallax barrier over the screen and an embedded camera for tracking head and eye movement. As somebody shifts across the monitor it dynamically adjusts the picture to (a minimum of theoretically) maintain the absolute best 3D effect. The screen also does on-the-fly 2D to 3D conversion. The DX2500 is shipping now in Korea for 1.3 million won (about $1,556) and may be available globally a while early in 2012. Look at the total PR after the break.
Latest Monitor from LG Takes Glasses-Free 3D To a complete New Level
SEOUL, Nov. 30, 2011 -– LG Electronics (LG) extends its glasses-free 3D monitor lineup with the 25-inch DX2500, which includes glasses-free parallax barrier 3D and head-tracking technologies. With the DX2500, LG becomes the primary within the industry to receive TÜV Rheinland certification for a glasses-free 3D monitor.
“LG is taking glasses-free 3D monitors mainstream with the DX2500,” said Si-hwan Park, Vp of the Monitor Division at LG’s Home Entertainment Company. “With the DX2500, we’re making the LG brand synonymous with glasses-free 3D monitors. In 2012, we’ll continue to expand our range of glasses-free 3D monitors featuring different designs and advanced functions.”
For optimal viewing of 3D images, existing glasses-free 3D products generally require viewers to stick within a tightly restricted angle and distance. However, the DX2500 has removed this restriction with the parallax barrier 3D and head-tracking technologies, allowing viewers greater freedom of movement, enabling a more well-off user experience.
Position tracking within the DX2500 works via a camera embedded within the monitor, which detects changes within the user’s eye and head position in real-time. In response to this knowledge, the monitor calculates the attitude and position of the viewer and adjusts the picture to display the optimal 3D effect. And with a sophisticated 2D to 3D conversion function, DX2500 users can view unlimited 3D content similar to movies, photos and games all with a single mouse click.
Now available in Korea, the DX2500 may be launched worldwide in early 2012.
