The term “3D” can be seen all over, and for good reason. Both software and hardware companies are beginning to deliver the goods to increase the immersion for our games, movies and even images. But, we’re curious to see just how important this whole 3D aspect is to you. Answer three simple questions, and you could win an NVIDIA 3D Vision bundle!

Contest is closed.

At the Consumer Electronics Show each year, there’s always a common theme that every company seems to have a hand in, or at least one that everyone talks about. At last month’s event, “3D” was unquestionably one of the common buzzwords. For good reason, too, since 3D isn’t something only tech geeks care about anymore.

3D has existed in various forms throughout the years, but it wasn’t until NVIDIA released its 3D Vision product in early 2009 that people were beginning to pay a bit of attention. Sure, you still have to wear glasses to see the effect, but what made the company’s technology so interesting is that the effect was good, and could actually make a game or movie more exciting.

Though NVIDIA has focused more on gaming than anything else with its 3D Vision, the product also supports video and images, and in the near-future, 3D Blu-ray movies. Monitor and TV manufacturers are also beginning to see the benefit of 3D, and also the potential, and are proving it by releasing 120Hz and higher monitors that boast official 3D support right on the box.

For this contest, we’re looking to get your opinions on 3D and see just how important you think it is. For your effort, you’ll have the chance to win an NVIDIA 3D Vision Bundle, which includes both the 3D Vision kit and a 120Hz LCD monitor from Samsung. We’ll also toss in a copy of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Resident Evil 5 to help you put the kit to good use!

NVIDIA 3D Vision Contest

Warning: Please be warned that while NVIDIA doesn’t stress the potential of seizures to be caused by 3D Vision, the possibility is always there, as the “screens” on the glasses do flicker from time to time. If you have any health condition, please take caution when taking advantage of the product, or consult a doctor if you are unsure if the 3D effect could affect you.
