The Pitch: While there are a number of 3D monitors on the market today, ViewSonic’s latest offering consists of a single panel (most use dual-panel technology) and operates at 120Hz. The single panel allows the VX2265wm to support a 120Hz frame rate and 1,680 x 1,050 HD resolution. The VX2265wm is also compatible with NVIDIA’s 3D Vision Kit, and will allow a gamer to play more than 100 of the top PC games in 3D.

Pros: The ViewSonic VX2265wm will play more than 100 PC games in 3D at 120Hz and 1,680 x 1,050 HD resolution. Those stats alone make it a must for a gamer.

Cons: While gamers ill love it, the rest of the world (including the networks) has not adopted 3D.

Recommendation: ViewSonic is known for putting out great monitors. One can only assume that this latest one will set a new standard for enjoying HD-quality 3D gaming (though I haven’t seen it in the flesh). While the ViewSonic’s 3D abilities are cool and easily get it to the semifinalist stage, I feel that it lacks the broad-based appeal to take the whole competition.

    and as far as 3d not coming in style .. most movies are now in 3d. hello avatar need i say more? i think it will get into the mainstream more often just like everyone is replaceing thier tv with thier actual pc monitors. even hbo is now offering online cable service so you can watch your tv via computer.

How it works:

We welcome any and all 'hot' products slated to appear at CES. Our experts screen them. They'll continue to narrow the list until we get to a Top 25 and then a Top 10. We'll also conduct a online vote among the Top 25 to determine a "people's winner." The Top 10 will appear at a CES supersession where a live voting audience will determine which deserves to be the Last Gadget Standing.

When: Saturday, 10:30 a.m., Jan. 9, 2010

Where: Room N255-257, LVCC, North Hall, 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
