Ughh TN
I like the spec of this quite a lot (anyone want to buy an Argos-special LG 23"?) but I'm not convinced that the amount of 3D games supposedly available is that high. Don't you need special gfx driver and game support for 3D so - for example - I'm not going to be playing BF3 in glorious 3D? I'm sure I also saw something that 3D was HDMI only - which would be a pain because my gfx card doesn't have that.
Nice to see also that Viewsonic have gone for passive glasses and realised that some of us are "speckies".
Very, very tempted - especially if we start seeing some Kinect-less 3D titles for XBox - I remember my old Viewsonic VX924 with a lot of affection - was a darned good piece of kit.

They say it comes with the software needed (TriDef 3D). Most games will play in 3D to some extent or another fine with it but GPU performance gets hammered.
HDMI and DVI are the same interface with a different physical connector......and some 3D formats (side-by-side) work fine over VGA or component anyway.

What makes it any better than http://www.scan.co.uk/products/23-lg...-m2-50000001-5 ?
LG pioneer the passive 3d so i suspect lg versions would be better... its cheaper too!

I'm so annoyed by the LG monitor I bought (http://www.lg.com/uk/it-products/mon...tor-W2361V.jsp) that I doubt I'll give them any future business, (in video products at least - got an LG DD washing machine and it's brilliant).
Not wholly convinced by the TriDef3D - I thought all the folks "in the know" were going for something that worked with NVidia Vision? (And yes, I do know that uses active glasses).
