We know <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/3d">3D</a> isn't for everyone, but if you've got your heart set on jumping that bandwagon nice and early, here's a review for you. The folks over at <em>Tom's Guide</em> have sat down with 23-inch 3D displays from Acer (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/acers-gd235hz-23-6-inch-3d-display-is-ready-for-your-glasses-eq/">GD235HZ</a>) and Alienware (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/alienware-now-shipping-23-inch-optx-aw2310-1080p-3d-monitor/">OptX AW2310</a>) and sought to figure which one offers the better gaming experience. After some sobering notes about the need for a high end system to run 3D games -- NVIDIA's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/3d+vision">3D Vision</a> solution renders each scene twice, meaning you'll need as much power to drive one 3D screen as you would a dual-monitor setup -- they delve right into some benchmarking and real world testing. The key differentiator between the two panels is in the price, with the GD235HZ costing $399 and the AW2310 asking for a steeper $469, though on balance it was felt that the Alienware justified its premium with a superior feature set and better overall performance. Hit the source for the full verdict.<br />
