It can be toggled on and off
Lenovo is about to release a 27-inch 4K monitor that offers glasses-free 3D that can be toggled on and off.
The monitor features a lenticular lens and real-time eye-tracking to create the effect. It’s targeting content creators, like 3D graphic designers and developers.
Like other glasses-less 3D screens, Lenovo’s ThinkVision 27 3D Monitor projects two different images to each of your eyes, resulting in a 3D effect where, as PR images would have you believe, it appears that the images are real.
Lenovo claims the monitor’s 3D resolution is 1920×2160. The lenticular lens in the monitor is switchable, allowing for regular, 2D viewing at 3840×2160.
As a regular 2D monitor, it is a bit average — a 4K IPS screen claiming a 60 Hz refresh rate, 310 nits, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and 99 per cent. DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB colour coverage with a Delta E under 2.
It has a good port selection: two HDMI 2.1, one DisplayPort 1.4, four USB-A (3.1 Gen 1) ports, one USB-C port (3.2 Gen 1) with up to 15 W power delivery, RJ45, a 3.5mm jack, plus an upstream USB-C port with up to 100 W power delivery.
Prices start at €2,999, which will be in the shops in February.
