I am a 3-D enthusists and have been waiting a long time for a real 3-D viewing system to be available and it has finally arrived.

The Acer laptop with TriDef is a dream come true.

It utilzes the same Polarized 3-D glasses you receive when you go the the theatre and the effect looks as good. The Glasses it utitlizes are “Real D” and Acer includes their own version of one pair of glasses + another for attaching to reading glasses.

The biggest reason I love this laptop is because TriDef has included a way to view other 3-D formats including Field-Sequential which until now you could only view on a conventional Tube television with the necessary adapter and special wired or wireless glasses designed to work only with the adapter.

Now I can watch all 3-D movies produced on my Toshiba 3-D camcorder or watch any 3-D DVD movies designed for Field-Sequential 3-D.

There’s no more flickering of the shutter on the glasses and no ghosting problems. The Acer laptop has a “Image Shift” which allows convergence adjustment while you’re watching the 3-D DVD’s or their own produced computer videos which they pre-installed in the Acer laptop. (6)

I didn’t think I was able to watch Field-Sequential 3-D at first but found out from TriDef tech support that The change of format is easily obtained on the Acer keyboard by pressing Shift+D.

Then you see the options for 3-D, 2-D. Left eye sync viewing and Right Eye sync viewing. These options are the same as “A” or “B” sync on the Field-Sequential 3-D adapter.

Incidentally, if you have a regular computer without the TriDef screen for polarizing 3-D viewing, you can still watch your Field-Sequential 3-D movies by down loading TriDef 3-D from their web sight viewable with Red-Blue glasses. Again this is achieved by pressing “Shift+D on your computer keyboard.

The 3-D effect works but not as good as with polarizing glasses on this Acer Laptop.

Special thanks to the staff at Amazon.com by assisting me in making this review possible.

I can say only nice things about tech support at TriDef but feel information should be given about the Acer Laptop on their web sight.

I had to do all this research on my own with the help of their tech support.

In conclusion, I would like to say that when Sony comes out with a similar system for big screen LCD or LED Televisions I will be trading in my 46″ XBR.

This is everything I wanted in a laptop. It’s fast, dependable, and just gets it done. The 3d on it is great, although it could be better.

Overall for the price it was a great value.

The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is it is advertised as having a fingerprint scanner, but mine doesn’t have one.

False advertising on amazons part.

Do have a look at the 3D show Safety Geeks:SVI it comes for the Tri-Def player and is downloadable on [...] search comedy title Safety Geeks it is made for the Tri-Def player and shows it off nicely.

I recommed going to the yabazam site and downloading the 3D series Safety Geeks it’s a well made adult swim type comedy
