First Look: The HP 2311 gt provides 3D on the cheap

2012-05-02
AHP 23 GT comes with passive 3d glasses provides a very basic 3d experience probably the most basic and cheapest way to get a 3d experience this side of an $18 movie ticket hi I'm Eric Franklin and today I'll be taking a first look at the HP 2311 GT the GT is kind of like the 3d version of the 2311 X I reviewed a few months back besides tilt there's no herbal options like swivel or height adjustment but honestly you wouldn't really expect to see these on a monitor like this connections include DVI HDMI and VGA and they're really easy to get to I can't really say enough about this recent trend of making these really easy to access connections vendors please continue to do this the OSD has controls for brightness contrast sharpness and red green and blue color options movies look fine but seem to have a slight green push to them non 3d games look fine as well but the colors don't pop the way I usually like and look a little bland now the monitor uses passive 3d as opposed to the more expensive but usually more convincing active shutter 3d technique in my limited exposure to the GT the 3d works you'll have to sit about three feet away from the screen but it does work and is actually pretty convincing and 260 bucks the GT is the cheapest way to get 3d on a monitor it's not the best 3d you're gonna see and it's probably not even the second-best 3d but it does give you what it says it's going to which is 3d check out my full written review for more details once again this is Eric Franklin and this has been the first look at the HP 2311 GT
