Would it be possible to add lightboost technology via a firmware update for the Acer HN274H?

As much as I would like the latest tech I already dropped over $500 for this monitor and can't upgrade it for quite a while.

Yes, same here....

This is great. My main complaint about the 3D Vision glasses was how dark the image was. Now it seems they have addressed that.

Too bad there is no way to get this LightBoost with existing displays.

Awesome,I'm going to buy the 3d vision kit 2 when's it's released and use them with my Acer 3d monitor.

Any one found a link with a better close up picture of the new glasses?

wait, am i correct in assuming these new glasses will be compatible with existing USB IR transmitters? I hope i can just get a pair of glasses for 100 instead of having to replace my whole kit for 150.

The entire write-up at Anandtech is worth a read as it explains how Lightboost works to the extent Nvidia was willing to reveal: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4966/nvidia-announces-3d-vision-2-and-3d-lightboost-technology

The author saw both the glasses and new Asus display in action at GeForce Lan 6 and had some very positive comments overall. He claims environmental light is now subjectively on par with passive polarized glasses. He also answered and took a few questions in the comments section for those who may have more specific questions.

I'm confused, 3dvision 2 "adds" adaptive brightness control? my alienware already does this. I actually find it annoying in normal windows

I think I'll just get them because they seem nowhere as dark to begin with as the original 3D Vision glasses.

I'm just pissed I bought this VG236H almost a year ago today and the new VG278H just comes out. Although since the glasses are obviously not nearly as dark altogether I don't see how LightBoost makes much of a difference. Without looking into it, it just sounds like its getting ever so closer to that threshold when brightness is too much.

This is sounding MIGHTY sweet! Flashing the monitor along with the glasses... clever! I like the sound of 27", too.

Pity I just bought this 3D stuff last year. Ah well, I'll let you folks kappa test the technology for a while.

P.S. Good to know that the super LAN party wasn't just a [url=http://photos.3dvisionlive.com/NVIDIA/image/4e99696f3785017d5300005b/]booth babe[/url] thing.

Thanks
They look cool but I hope they do wear cool too.

The new glasses are backward compatible for current IR transmitter.
