PRESS RELEASE:
iZ3D has taken a bold move to make 3D mainstream this Christmas
San Diego, Calif. (December 3, 2008) – iZ3D LLC, designer, marketer
and enabler of advanced 3D visualization systems, has been quietly
but actively promoting the adoption of 3D display technology since
2007. Now the company’s breakthrough approach, widely hailed by users
as delivering a premier 3D experience, is being priced to make it
affordable to casual and enthusiast gamers.Effective December 1st, the manufacturer’s suggested resale price for
the company’s 22-inch widescreen switchable 3D/2D monitor will be
$399.00. The new price has already been reflected at various online e-
tailers with plans for availability at in-store retailers to be
disclosed in the coming weeks.“3D isn’t new but our approach to it is. We’re pioneering new 3D
with active programs in display and glasses design, stereoscopic 3D
software drivers and media players, 3D players groups, events, and
networking, 3D content certification and enablement, and system
solution partnerships,” stated Thomas Striegler, CEO of iZ3D LLC.
The price change, which makes our solution more affordable than ever,
is just the latest 3D milestone we’ve crossed as the leader in this
new frontier,” he added.iZ3D premiered its first generation 17-inch 3D monitor in 2006.
Improvements in the technology, design, and in-house software drivers
converged in 2007 with the release of the 22-inch widescreen model.
While critically acclaimed and hailed by customers, the initial price
of $999 was beyond the reach of most gamers.The new $399 solution price, roughly the price of 5-10 games, includes:
22-inch widescreen switchable 3D/2D monitor
iZ3D output and anaglyph output drivers
3 pairs of passive linear polarized glasses
All power and video cables
Quick start guide
1 Year warranty

iZ3D also offers the 22-inch monitor in six special edition custom-
painted models created by Smooth Creations. These models, available
only at www.iz3d.com, were commissioned at the request of customers
that wanted their 3D monitors to stand out at LAN parties and grab
attention. The custom-painted monitor price has also been reduced to
$549.00The iZ3D Solution
The iZ3D solution includes a widescreen monitor, viewing glasses, and
software drivers. iZ3D developed this unique technology to create an
adjustable viewing environment that delivers 3D without the
eyestrain, spatial disorientation, or headaches commonly associated
with other 3D approaches.The 22-inch monitor, which is optimized for 3D viewing, can also be
easily toggled into a 2D mode when required for productivity
applications or email. In 3D mode, viewers see bright, sharp 3D
images or video simply by installing the software driver and wearing
any of eight iZ3D passive polarized glasses. New or existing PCs
equipped with a dual-output video card easily power the display.Monitor Specifications include:
- 1680 x 1050 resolution- Up to 170-degree 3D viewing angle
- 5ms response time
- 700:1 contrast ratio
- 16.7-million colors
- 300 nits
Most PC games released in the last five years, including many of
the most popular multiplayer online, first person shooter, and role-
playing games, have already been designed for 3D displays. iZ3D’s
optimized driver unlocks the third (depth) dimension of these 3D-
ready games to allow gamers to finally play them as they were written
– in 3D.# # #
