Hitachi 3D LCD Display Demo
Yet another interesting display technology Hitachi demonstrated is their 3D LCD display. Hitachi stacked two identical LCD displays on top of each other and varied the brightness of the objects being displayed on each screen using special software to achieve a 3D effect with no special glasses required. The display was being driven by a Windows PC with dual DVI output and software created by NTT.
Overall we were impressed with the ability to view a 3D image without the need for any special eyewear. Hitachi says the first application of this display will be in casino gambling machines by mid-2006 and later in car navigation displays. The video loop running on the display showed a concept interface for a car navigation system and it was very impressive. Directional arrows overlaid on city streets were much easier to see in “real” 3D as opposed to the conventional 3D maps in today’s navigation systems. A touch screen version is also in the works.

The Vaio on "The Four Viiv PCs Worth Mentioning" looks a lot like a cash register with the keyboard on top.Doh! - Sunday, January 8, 2006 - link

For more info on the rollable display shown by Philips look at http://www.polymervision.com">www.polymervision.com. You can find some nice pictures and a video at the website (Technology -> download).HamburgerBoy - Saturday, January 7, 2006 - link
That rollable display is pretty neat, but how does it work? For something that thin, would you have to use some really small batteries or what?AndrewChang - Saturday, January 7, 2006 - link
For those of us unable to attend a show like CES, I appreciate the quality and focus of your coverage. It's a nice reminder that you guys are still as dedicated as ever to Anandtech, as the quality of some recent articles had left me wondering. Thanks.DanaGoyette - Saturday, January 7, 2006 - link
My god, you could heat a house with that quad SLI system! What I want to know is how they plan to cool the inner heatsinks on those cards. This would be a really good use for a modded version of the Zalman TNN case.Of course, they should ditch the dual Prescott (if that's what it is) and go with a custom Yonah board.
They'd be better off with a much longer heatsink with the fan perhaps sticking out the end, or something like that.
Quantum3D Mercury, anyone?

It is interesting that the Quad SLI actually is stated to have over 40Gpixels/s output which is about 4 times the power shown in the graph there:http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6020675.html">http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6020675.html
