3D Comes to the Desktop with Panoram's Circular Polarized, Passive Stereoscopic HD LCD Display.PSP (PlayStation Portable) See PlayStation. 2400 3D Monitor Eliminates Need for Sweet Spot, Yet Delivers a Sweet Price Point SUN VALLEY, Calif. -- Panoram Technologies, a leading provider and integrator of visualization technologies, today announced the release of its PSP 2400, a breakthrough high definition 24 inch LCD monitor A flat panel display that uses liquid crystals. Although laptops have used LCDs as their flat panel technology almost exclusively, LCD is also the most popular for flat panel desktop monitors. Toward the end of 2003, sales of LCD displays for desktops overtook CRTs for the first time. that provides a passive stereo, 3D solutions for the desktop.

While "Auto-Stereoscopic" displays are good for consumer 3D visioning applications like point of purchase displays, commercial visualization applications require high definition 3D imaging without having to keep your head in a very specific place. "We are pleased to bring this new technology to the commercial CAD, oil/gas, scientific and educational markets. The PSP 2400 is a breakthrough solution in 3D imaging at the desktop that meets the needs of both individual and small collaborative group," said Theo Mayer, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Best of all, the solution can be instantly switched from an excellent 1920 X 1200 24" computer monitor to a superlative 3D stereo display. It is a dual purpose device that can change the way commercial users access the power of 3D imaging." The PSP 2400 LCD monitor features 1920 X 1200 mono and combined eye resolution at a 0.27mm dot pitch within a rugged aluminum construction. The circular polarization (Min.) See under Polarization. See also: Circular enables an extremely wide field of view, as well as accommodating head tilting when viewing images. This technology eliminates the need for users to move their head to find the "sweet spot" required from most auto stereoscopic (no glasses) 3D monitors; meaning, with the PSP 2400, one can stand back, sit close, or have more than one viewer for a more collaborative environment. The elegantly designed and easy to use PSP 2400 LCD monitor is a "Plug-And-Play" solution for most applications adapting automatically to high-end graphics cards from companies like NVIDIA. The form factor offers a small footprint allowing for easy integration with multiple display setups. It accepts many stereo formats including Frame Sequential, Side-Field, Sub-Field, and Interlaced Refers to a display system or image that uses interlacing and does not render contiguous lines one after the other. See interlace and interlaced GIF. . In addition, desktop users can instantly switch between standard 2D and 3D stereoscopic display modes with a simple ON and OFF at the press of a button, making the display a perfect second monitor for general applications as well. The basic configuration of the PSP 2400 is designed for a one or two user environment as a desktop monitor. There is also a second configuration available for one to three user environments with an optional VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association, Milpitas, CA, www.vesa.org) A membership organization founded in 1989 that sets interface standards for the PC, workstation and computing environments. Note the following VESA standards following this entry. mounting plate allowing the display to be mounted on a wall or tradeshow stand. Four types of comparatively low cost passive stereo glasses are available, all light weight and durable at the size and weight of regular sunglasses. These include theme park style glasses with fixed template, upgraded aviator style glasses with a hinge frame, wrap around glasses, and flip up clip-ons to put over existing corrective lenses.
