anyone consider the sharp 3d?

I was thinking of going overboard and getting sharp's 3d laptop when it comes out. It's really pricy at 3.5k, but I'm really not sure if it's worth the wait since I can't see the screen. Otherwise it seems like a decent laptop, though not great. Anyone have any experience with 3d monitors and can say if it's worth the steep price?

 

Maybe I have a bad memory, but didn't these come out a year or more ago? From what I can remember the 3D thing was such a gimmick they stopped making it. Are we in a time loop or something, LOL?

actually not they are still in production and they have even released a new one with a way better video card an nvidia 6600 i think

The Actius AL3DU represents a significant step up in power and style for Sharp's 3D notebook line. Powered by Intel's brand new Pentium® M P750 Processor, the new NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 graphics processor with 128 MB Video RAM, and 1024 MB of DDR2 SDRAM, upgradeable to 2 GB, the powerful Actius AL3DU is geared for high-end mobile performance. The AL3DU is targeted to those users who want a high-end laptop with superior 3D graphics performance and comes complete with gigabit Ethernet for high-speed LAN data transfer. The DVD Super Multidrive allows dual layer DVD and CD authoring, allowing more data per disk.



The AL3DU is offered with Microsoft Windows XP Pro and a number of utilities. Specially for 3D users, the AL3DU comes with a TriDef® 3D Demo environment (from DDD, Santa Monica) allowing viewing of 3D movie trailers, ability to view DVD movies in 3D (by real-time 2D to 3D conversion) and other 3D utilities. Also included is a trial version of the Amira 3D Visualization program allowing scientists, medical professionals and physicists 3D manipulation of data from various modeling sources.



The Sharp Actius AL3DU notebook comes equipped with a 15-inch XGA (1024 x 768) TFT 3D LCD display panel that can be switched between 2D and 3D display modes with the touch of a button, making the notebook flexible for use in standard 2D applications such as word processing and e-mail as well as giving extra visualization power for 3D professional applications such as molecular modeling, CAD and medical imaging plus a new way of enjoying games.

added a little info from the sharp site i wouldnt consider it way to d**n expensive 3499$ US

 

That's interesting, I hope it's better this time around but I still don't see it going mainstream any time soon.

 

i really dont see it going mainstream either mainly due to its price.you can get lappy's thats just as good in the hardware department at way lower cost
