The soon-to-be Acer Aspire 5738DG is going to make history as the first “commercial” laptop notebook to come with a three dimensional display which they’ve cleverly decided to call “TriDef”. My guess is that this will require us users to wear the polarized glasses included with the computer to make the damn “3D” work. I’m sure many of you are picturing those 1980’s red-n-blues. Don’t worry, Acer assures us that they’re going to be sporty and stylish 3D glasses. If futuristic 3D goggles aren’t your thing, there’s nothing to fear. Without the glasses, the screen acts just like any other non-3D display screen.

PCMag has taken the liberty to let us know that it’s not a gimmick, and that the display really works. 3D displays are no longer the wave of the future, folks. They’re here. PCMag says quite avidly that the screen works and gives a very worthwhile experience when it comes to games that actually support this feature.
Without the 3D feature, the screen is pretty standard.

This is good because it means that the price isn’t going to be too bad. Most people expect that it won’t go too far over seven-hundred bucks. For 4 Gigabytes of RAM, 2.2 Gigahertz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 500 Gigabytes, 5400 RMP hard drive disk, Windows 7 OS, HDMI output, and 15.6 inch, 1366×768 display, that’s not too bad.

According to Geek.com, Acer’s newest laptop (Acer Aspire 5738PG) gives you 3D the palpable way. It isn’t simply a machine for gamers; it’s as three dimensional as any Imax movie. Acer brings us its 3D capable Aspire, with the 57E8PG that uses LCD technology, some specialized polarized screen coatings, a bit of conversion software, and those ever-silly 3D glasses we all remember so well from our childhoods.
The special 3D film holds to the screen from pixel to pixel, making it possible for the LCD to deliver a positive 3D feast. The name of the software is TriDef 3D Experience. The name does not only promise to have the highest definition, but the most extreme dimension.

Just think about what Left 4 Dead or WoW would be like on a 3D capable laptop. By bringing your favorite games and movies to life, you get to experience your computer in 3D and share what it’s like with your family and friends. Already great games are made better, and already wonderful movies truly made a part of your home.

While this is not a necessary part of gaming or movie-watching, it would definitely add to the experience in a positive way.
