    The W860CU 3D is the latest NVIDIA 3D Vision notebook from Clevo. This model is equipped with a WXGA resolution 120Hz-panel, an NVIDIA GTX 285M graphics card, and an Intel Core i7 processor. In this review we take a look through its supplied NVIDIA 3D glasses and see how well this notebook stacks up against the competition.

    Thanks Kevin!
    So, the non-3D quality of this screen seems adequate. That's good news. If higher resolutions get supported, gamers will rejoice soon :)

    I'm really interested in buying one of these laptops, but one question I can't seem to get an answered is will this connect to a external 3D monitor or 3D vision compatible DLP. I'm interested in getting one with a blueray player so I can watch 3D bluerays and play 3d games on my 56" DLP.

    Well the NVIDIA IR puck comes with an input on the back to synchronize with a compatible TV.

    At $2600 I'm not sure it's worth it, you can configure a similarly speced one without the 3D for about $1000 less.
    It seems a bit steep for tech I'm not even sure I'd really want, marathon gaming sessions will be torture on the eyes.
    Great review .
