Call it a gimmick if you will, but as far as hardware manufacturers are concerned, the 3D craze is better described as a cash cow.

3D is going places that you never thought possible, and honestly, in more places than you probably ever imagined. Just a couple of years ago, 3D was seen as a has-been format that died out in the 80s. Today, it's the "next big thing."

Two of the most well-known, yet equally unknown, companies are joining forces today, and it's all for the forces of good.

Dell has been quite busy beefing up their notebook line, but one area that has seen little to no attention over the past few months is the LCD.

Here's a name you haven't heard in awhile: Sceptre.

BenQ has certainly made an impact in the LCD industry, and while it has been some time since we viewed a unique new entrant from the company, along comes this to really change things up.

3D is here to stay, like it or not. Well, it's here to stay for awhile anyway, depending on whether or not consumer demand sticks around to support it. Films like Avatar have proven that there is at least some demand for 3D in cinemas, but the at-home 3D market is still a huge question mark. Evidently Acer doesn't mind the risks, as the company...

Out with the rumors, in with reality. LG Display has just announced that it will be grabbing this whole 3D revolution by the horns, and if you have any doubts, we'd say that its intentions to produce the world's first commercial launch of a 3D LCD panel with a Full HD resolution should be them to rest. In the past, we've seen both 3D HDTVs...
