Viewsonic has just announced three new 3D capable projectors for the Aussie market. Sure, we could make a big deal about the lack of 3D content to make use of the projector, but we won’t. Not today, anyway.
The three 3D capable projectors, PJD6381, PJD6211 and PJD6221, are all compatible with both the Texas Instruments DLP Link 3D technology and NVIDIA’s 3D-Vision tech. The latter two will hit shelves in August, with the PJD6381 going on sale in September.
