Asus VG278H 3D Vision 2 Monitor Kit Review

Recently we took a look at one of Asus’ entry level LED backlit LCD monitors and we were very impressed with its clarity, colour reproduction, and most of all its price. But this is common ground and something that everyone is used to – where do you improve a great image? Well the next stage is to take things to the next dimension, quite literally.

3D viewing of films is something that has been around for ages on cinemas, but bringing this into the home environment has only started becoming the standard as of latem but this is typically on the TV side of entertainment. Apart from watching 3D films, what else can the enthusiast do? Well how about playing games in 3D? Now we’re talking.

Nvidia have for a while offered up their 3D vision kits as a separate offer that work with most monitors, but what we have here is a full on bundle with a 27″ LCD & LED backlit screen with a whopping 120Hz frame rate and an impressive contrast ratio of 50,000,000:1 and Nvidia’s 3D vision wireless glasses. Sounds like a mouth watering bundle doesn’t it? The real question is though is this a screen that works as an all round player in both 2D and 3D environments or is it something only for the weekend? Well there is only one way to find out and so I had to take a dive into the world of PC gaming in 3D, this is going to be fun!
