Currently, DTI is manufacturing two versions of the 3D display. The unit discussed in this article is their "low-end" 15" model. Priced at around $1700, this unit is a bargain compared to their other 18" model, which comes in at about $7000. DTI also has the option of including TV SVIDEO/BNC adapters. As much as we would have loved to see real 3D TV, however, our review unit did not arrive with this option in place.

The design of the unit is sleek, with its black exterior and slim design. The screen also has a nice anti-glare coating as well as the small desktop footprint common to LCD's. The unit does not connect digitally to one's video card. Rather, the designers choose to take the more compatible (and more expensive) analog route with this monitor. In addition to the normal analog 15 pin VGA connector, a serial port connection is also needed for this unit.

As with all monitors there is a digital control unit (a.k.a OSD) located on the front bezel. From here, one can control certain aspects of the monitor such as the brightness and contrast as well as move between 3D and 2D modes. DTI also provides software control of the monitor which you will probably find yourself using more often than the on screen display.

Out of the box, the screen looked pretty good, and very little use of the RGB controls were needed. At full brightness, this unit is noticeably brighter than many LCDs (200:1 contrast ratio) and can be viewed adequately in direct sunlight. Its brightness, however, does drop when changed to 3D mode (from about 250 cd/m2 to about 86 cd/m2).

Text was nice and sharp and, unlike many earlier LCDs, this unit had little to no trouble displaying 16.7 Million colors. In addition, there was only minor evidence of the ghosting that has been a standard since the introduction of TFT based LCD displays. It is also worth mentioning that this unit arrived with no stuck pixels.
