Hardware Canucks, Legit Reviews, and PC Perspective have reviewed the brand new NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 kit, which introduces NVIDIA 3D LightBoost technology that is supposed to make 3D images much brighter and richer in colour.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • Hardware Canucks:

    "My short time with 3D Vision 2 has proved itself to be an interesting rollercoaster ride. It is great to see NVIDIA actively listening to their customer base and the improvements to the new glasses have really taken them to the next level. I just don’t think I’ll be making the switch away from my well-worn first generation pair until the aforementioned reflection issue has been resolved. But what allows this new generation of 3D Vision to really shine is the monitor technology. The ASUS VG278H is an spectacular example of a gaming monitor which has obviously been designed from the ground up to provide the absolute best stereoscopic 3D experience. Forwards compatibility with existing 3D Vision glasses is just icing on the cake."

  • Legit Reviews:

    "At the end of the day the NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 has made good on most of its promises. Even though the monitor we received did have panel issues, the bundle is still an excellent value. Keep in mind the robust 3D ecosystem that was presented in the previous 3D Vision review and this new release makes an already very good experience even better. We will update this article once we get the new panel and make sure it performs okay."

  • PC Perspective:

    "So do I think 3D Vision 2 is going to drastically change the landscape of 3D gaming for PCs? Not really, though I think new technology, new buzz about it online and at least slightly improved feature sets will move it along in the right direction. For it to become mainstream ALL displays are going to need to support 3D technology (much in the same way we are seeing that trend in consumer televisions) and we need to see a common support structure for both NVIDIA and AMD - no one wants to buy a display that only works with one graphics card vendor. But that is currently the environment we have to work in."

While still not perfect, 3D gaming is getting progressively better and you should definitely try to experience it in person.
