I’ve had combined experiences with the SpatialLabs 3D, which tends to deal with a depth impact. It may well look actually cool, however can even give me a headache. Right here, Acer is utilizing a 15.6-inch show at 3840 x 2160 in 2D mode, however a stereoscopic module makes it 1920 x 2160 in 3D mode.

There’s a slight redesign right here, and a part of meaning extra RGB alongside the again vents. Aer says this creates a “mushy, ambient glow.”
