Toshiba T851/D8CR notebook can show 2D and 3D content at once

Shane McGlaun, Apr 20th 2011 Discuss [0]

I think 3D is cool on a notebook or a TV, but some things I prefer to view in 2D. I don’t want to have to read a lot of text wearing 3D glasses for instance.

Kevin Fubar, Mar 23rd 2011 Discuss [1]

By now we're all used to multi touch capacitive displays where the slightest brush of our fingers can zoom and pan the application.
