According to a DigiTimes report, Taiwanese panel maker CMO has finished developing an 18.4-inch 3D panel for an HP notebook to be released in the second half of this year. The panel has a full HD (1920x1080) resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Any word on what graphics solution they will be using?

Most likely Nvidia http://www.nvidia.com/object/GeForce...sion_Main.html

man, i hear all these news about notebooks to get full hd 120hz screens, yet desktop monitors are limited to just 2 models that aren't at full HD resolution.

wow, pretty cool. I'm leaning towards the 18.4" HP, hopefully this doesnt break the bank

maybe i'm just ignorant on the matter but could someone explain to me how 120Hz + 16:9 resolution = 3D?

Is it a designation for the type of monitor it is, or are they saying it is truly a 3 dimensional screen?

you wear the glasses lol

No 3D panel is going to make up for the 230,400 missing pixels

You may have to live without those pixels in the future. More and more notebooks with 1920X1200 displays are going to be displaced by models with 1920x1080 panels. The vast majority of those won't give you 120Hz refresh rates as a consolation prize either.

I'm curious about the text quality on these 120Hz panels HP will be using. I've read the 120Hz desktop monitors made by Samsung and Viewsonic have poor text quality.
