Zalman TRIMON ZM-M220W 22

Topic:

Tweaktown got their hands on the new Zalman TRIMON 22" 3D Monitor. They published a detailed review of this 3D monitor that requires shutter glasses for 3D display. Zalman already showed the 3D monitor at CeBit in 2007, but it seems they are now closer to actually shipping it.
