Think for a moment about how you watch movies. When the latest blockbuster movie comes out, people usually flock to the theaters so they can enjoy it on the 'big screen'. Conversely, some people prefer to watch movies at home on a widescreen HDTV. So while watching them on the big screen may make the viewing experience better, it doen't make it complete. Special effects such as 3D, and theaters such as iMax, provide an added level of realism that go beyond the big screen. Now imagine having that with everything you see on your computer.

We live in a three-dimensional world, and display technology is finally catching up to how we see things. Games, movies, multimedia video, and even photos are now widely available in stereoscopic 3D. Packaged with a NVIDIA 3D Vision-2 glasses kit, the ASUS VG278H LCD Monitor gives you that big screen experience with vivid color, 120Hz high-definition 1080p picture quality, and added 3D special effects. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the ASUS VG278H 27" LED-backlight widescreen 120Hz monitor with NVIDIA 3D LightBoost technology and show off its built-in stereoscopic 3D Vision-2 functionality.

For reference, Benchmark Reviews also offers our NVIDIA 3D-Vision Multimedia Resource Guide with more detail on the best configuration settings and where to find 3D multimedia.
