Zalman has proved that nVidia's investment in 3D display technology was a sound one. This screen really does produce a truly immersive 3D environment in which to play your games. In fact everyone in the office was surprised at how good the 3D effect was on the ZM-M2020D.
Unfortunately the excessively glossy coating on this screen doesn't just make it impossible to recommend for general Windows use, but it also severely affects the 3D aspect, since if you have the slightest hint of ambient light in your room, you're constantly distracted by the reflection of your own face and everything behind you.
The constant buzzing feedback in the audio pass through is another annoyance, as is the lack of labelling on the audio ports themselves. What Zalman has created though, is a great building block, on which to base a second generation screen that addresses all the shortcomings of this one. With nVidia continuing to develop this technology at the graphics card end, there's every chance that the next 3D monitor to land in the TrustedReviews labs will be a real winner.Read full review
