"ACER IS DOING the 3D tango with Nvidia for its mid-range gaming laptop. Acer's Aspire 5745DG comes with Nvidia's active shutter 3D Vision technology this time around. The company was one of the first to market with a 3D Acer laptop that was out last year. However, Acer made the mistake of coming up with its own technology, not unlike the passive shutter offering on Zalman's 3D monitor that we reviewed. It used a 3D coating on the screen to produce the effect.

Apparently it didn't sell too well, so Acer jumped ship, going over to Nvidia and bundling active shutter polarised glasses and an IR receiver. That means you'll be forking out another £100 for more glasses this time around. The Aspire 5738DG has a 15.6-inch chassis with an LED backlit screen and a native resolution set to full HD. As we're talking Nvidia 3D Vision here the display also has the obligatory 120Hz refresh rate so it can cope with displaying the 3D image."
