    "LCD panel makers including Chimei Innolux Corporation (CMI), Samsung Electronics and LG Display (LGD) are eyeing the opportunity to supply 3D panels for Asustek Computer's 17-inch 3D notebook that is expected to be launched in the third quarter of 2010, according to market sources.

    Asustek's decision will base on the quality of 3D displays, the sources added.

    For the 3D PC market, CMI currently is the major supplier of 3D monitor panels, but both LG Display and Samsung have started mass production of their 3D monitor panels, Digitimes Research said.

    Digitimes Research noted that CMI and Chunghwa Picture Tubes (CPT) are major suppliers of 3D notebook panels."

    Whether the 17" 3D notebook will be based on the G71/72 or G73 chassis is still in question.

    What about people that already wear glasses? :(
    Two pairs is going to be a pain in the butt.
    I can't understand the whole 3D craze to begin with, first it was movies and that was not a good viewing experiance now laptops with 3D.
    I don't think so.
    I'll pass, thank you.

    I liked Avatar and Alice in Wonderland as 3D entertainment. I'm pretty sure I'll stick with 3D gaming when it's on a 2D screen.

    same technology as the acer 5740 3D laptop? that technology is no good. when there's no 3D display on screen, the 2D image has black dots all over the screen like dead pixels. At least the 2 display models I've seen in acer store are like that.

    I only like 3d when it's Omni Max. The other 3D Theaters in my area suck

    I thought they came out with a 3D notebook a while ago (or announced it like a few weeks/months ago).

    About a year ago, and it was a 15 inch G51j with HD+ screen. Kinda weak compared to the g51j w/ FHD, imho.
