How very sad CTS is this year.
Although, Louise Walsh sure loves her hardware.

She strokes it like a pro, she could get a job on the shopping channel no problem.
OMG that fatboy bean bag scene is the funniest thing I have seen in ages….
I was there this afternoon and have to say i was disappointed compared to last years turn out.
@ the presenter , you didn't go to Cebit by any chance ?:p
Nah, that was my evil twin…
Oh, and that stage dive onto the bean bags HURT!
He claims it was the reason his wrist was sore. We, obviously, believe there are other factors to consider.
Nick - glad you thought our PC was quiet! But I can't believe you missed the most exciting new product of the whole show which was right next to it - Zalman's 3D monitor (yes, wow!!).
Do those polarising things actually work - like the iMax?
I.e. did you only try it out with the game they had (was that WoW?) i'd be interested to see what the effect would be in a movie like say.. the Matrix with bullets everywhere.
I watched some chicks playing volleyball (purely to see the 3D effect, you understand) and a bloke doing martial arts stuff.
They both looked ok, but the image quality on the vollyeball babes was better… I'll pull out their press stuff and see if I can find out why it was… pretty sure it was something to do with how the image was recorded and played back.

Hey Glenn,
You mean the one in this show?
About 3min 20secs in…
;)
Have they decided on a name for it yet?
Yes that'll be the one! At the moment, the 3D monitors have only model numbers not names:
ZM-M190 - 19“
ZM-M190W - 19” widescreen
ZM-M220W - 22" widescreen
The 3D mode works with virtually any game, as long as you have an nVidia graphics card (any model) and you load the 3D nVidia driver.
The only TV/movie footage it works with is footage which was filmed in 3D (i.e. using two cameras). So I'm afraid existing films are not 3D-able!

Awww.. i was hoping to watch films in stereoscopic lovelyness..
Glad we didn't exhibit there this year, looked absolutely terrible, then again it was terrible the year before that as well.
Just to give an update on Zalman's 3D monitors - these will now be released early next year, rather than summer as originally advised. So I'm afraid there will be a little longer to wait!
The reasons for the delay are that Zalman wish to allow Windows Vista to establish itself in the marketplace so that the monitor can be made 100% compatible. Also, nVidia want more time to develop the driver to ensure total compatibility with its full range of cards, as well as its upcoming cards to be released later this year.
