when a debuted a few years ago the Nvidia 3d vision kit require four components to work properly 3d glasses an Nvidia graphics card a compatible display and this a separate USB connected 3d emitter but while all four of those things are still required some manufacturers have figured out how to make the process a bit more streamlined I'm Eric Franklin and today I'll take a first look at the Isuzu g27 8h the VGA was one of the first 3d vision compatible monitors to feature a built-in adjustable 3d emitter it also comes with Nvidia 3d vision kit two glasses the glasses feature a light boost technology making 3d images appear brighter than the first gen tech did the new glasses also don't squeeze your head quite as tight and seem to block out more ambient light but other than the emitter there's really nothing special about the VG's physical characteristics it includes screen height adjustment until but sadly no pivot their connections include HDMI DVI and VGA and trying to actually access those downward-facing hard-to-get-to inputs is frustrating the OSD array feels pretty clunky to use uses the menu button as the inter button and under certain circumstances ignores a fact that there are up and down buttons that can easily be used for navigation movies in a theater preset pushed a bit too much green but I found a nice color balance by using standard and lowering the green games are a bit too foggy and drab under the game preset I think it's best to use the scenery mode instead where images stay vibrant and the contrast remains high if you want to cut down on the amount of motion blur some games have you can turn on the 120 Hertz refresh rate option you'll see much less evidence of motion blur than traditional monitors especially when panning around games under 3d have very little ghosting even when the 3d effect was turned all the way up games look brighter too than other active shutter 3d solutions I've seen however when text appeared on the screen my eyes would get confused for a bit and the effect was ruined until my eyes were able to readjust the VG does 3d and this is coming from a person that doesn't appreciate 3d the way I'm sure most movie and video game companies out there would like me to normal games and movies performance is also good I wouldn't call the monitor badly built but I wouldn't go out of my way to say it's well built either the 27-inch monitor cost $600 that's pretty high for a monitor that doesn't do much beyond 3d if you're considering buying for my final verdict check out my full review once again I'm Eric Franklin and this has been a first look at the a sous B g27 8h
