LG brings displays into the third dimension

3d display

For over 100 years, tinkerers have been working on better ways to add a sense of depth to both still and moving images, but almost every scheme tried so far has required the viewer to don some dorky type of headache-inducing eyewear. Over the weekend at the IFA Show in Berlin, LG displayed the curiously named Flatron M4200D, a 32 inch LCD display which uses a lenticular screen that directs the required portion of the image to each eye, resulting in a realistic 3D effect without the need to become a fashion casualty. The catch however is that you need to sit precisely 13.1 feet from the screen for it to work properly. Obviously, there's no good way to sample its effectiveness without seeing it in person, but people who have report that the image is remarkably lifelike, and lets you change your perspective by moving your head from side to side. We'll reserve judgment until we can experience it for ourselves.
