Leading 3D Technology Firm iZ3D Now Distributed Through Ingram Micro and D&H Distributing Company

Distribution Agreements Will Enable Gamers to Try and Buy iZ3D Monitors at Retailers


SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - December 8, 2008) - iZ3D Inc., designer, marketer and enabler, of advanced 3D visualization systems, has partnered with Ingram Micro Inc. and D&H Distributing Company to distribute its cutting edge 3D gaming monitor solution.

The partnerships underscore a major shift in the introduction and adoption of 3D monitor technology to the market. Similar to the transition from standard-definition to high definition TV, consumers need to see 3D to realize the tremendous impact it has on their gaming enjoyment. iZ3D is the first major 3D monitor producer to recognize this need and put these crucial distribution agreements in place as a precursor to a holiday season retail and channel rollout.

The distribution partnerships consist of national outreach to the respective distributor's large rosters of VARS, DMRs, E-tailers, and regional-, specialized-, and national-retailers with an emphasis on growing these channels in regards to the iZ3D product.

"We were thrilled at the opportunity to gain the extensive and far reaching partnerships with our distribution partners," exclaimed Tom Striegler, CEO for iZ3D. "Together, we are enabling the channel to bring 3D gaming, movies, and entertainment beyond the realm of curiosity and into mainstream. Channel support through our distributors is crucial to accelerating lifestyle change to playing and viewing in 3D," he added.

The iZ3D Solution

The iZ3D solution includes a widescreen monitor, viewing glasses, and software drivers. iZ3D developed this unique technology to create an adjustable viewing environment that delivers 3D without the eyestrain, spatial disorientation, or headaches commonly associated with other 3D approaches.

The 22-inch monitor, which is optimized for 3D viewing, can also be easily toggled into a 2D mode when required for productivity applications or email. In 3D mode, viewers see bright, sharp 3D images or video simply by installing the software driver and wearing any of eight iZ3D passive polarized glasses. New or existing PCs equipped with a dual-output video card easily powers the display.

Monitor Specifications include:

--  1680 x 1050 resolution
--  Up to 170-degree 3D viewing angle
--  5ms response time
--  700:1 contrast ratio
--  16.7-million colors
--  300 nits
    

Most PC games released in the last five years, including many of the most popular multiplayer online, first person shooter, and role-playing games, have already been designed for 3D displays. iZ3D's optimized driver unlocks the third (depth) dimension of these 3D-ready games to allow gamers to finally play them as they were written -- in 3D.
