Newegg bumped the estimated arrival of restock from 2/5 to 2/12. Same day my tax return is due :bday:
 
Meh I don't really see the point of 3D 120Hz gaming ... your games will still cap at 60FPS before you get Vertical Tearing.

As far as the 3D thing goes, it made me motion sick/nauseous when watching "Home Improvement" in 3D back in the 90's using the pair of 3D Glasses I got from my "Lunchables" package.

This is slightly different.

Oh yeah, 120hz means it can show 120fps with no tearing. That's what hertz are, cycles per second.

That's what Vsync is.... Tells the driver to lock in to the vertical sync of the monitor... If your refresh rate is 75hz, then the maximum frame rate will be 75 regardless how fast your video card can do... @ 120hz if your card can do it, will display 120 fps if vsync is set to on...

Very impressed with this monitor... Looks very promising...

Subscribed to auto notify... Who's going to get it first??
 
This looks fun and anxiously awaiting some reviews but I wont be getting one. Im holding out for the home theater 3D stuff :)

assuming it looks good of course.

If you have the room for a DLP set, there's already many options on the market. You can also get 3D projectors for under a grand nowadays :drool:

I need a bigger place :-/
 
ya dont really have the room for DLP. Still in an apartment with a sad little 37" HD LCDTV and wanting something in the 46" range or better but with 3d coming to light in the near future I dont want to upgrade twice really. So thinking about holding out for those but I just know one of those tvs will rape my poor wallet.

After seeing avatar is what really turned me on to 3d haha but I certainly wont break the bank to get it.

A 3d projector might be interesting but is it new style 3d with the polarizing etc or the old style where they split the blue and red out of the picture? And then I would have to find a wall to project onto... :-/

The Acer H5360 uses active glasses, it's basically a DLP TV where you provide the viewing surface. Only 1280x720 but that's really enough for most people anyway.
 
I was confused by the 120Hz thing. I was under the impression that all LCDs on the market right now that claim 120Hz just have two interloping 60Hz/FPS going at the same time (Which makes me motion sickness)

These panels can actually exceed the refresh rate of CRTs now? Sicckkk

Do the DLP sets actually do 120Hz/120FramesPerSecond now too? I might have to get one lol.

There are several options in true 120hz LCDs, although it's true that almost every TV that claims 120hz cannot accept a signal higher than 60hz.

Every 3D DLP TV I'm aware of uses a checkerboard interlacing scheme, which would seem to me means you only get half the total resolution, although I can't find solid info except at http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1394686&dl=GUIDE&coll=GUIDE&CFID=75186420&CFTOKEN=37426479 which requires ACM membership...
