What is this thing? Is it a new type of monitor, is it something you wear or is it something like the Kinect for the PC? I don't really understand it.

It's a head tracker. This mounts to the top of your monitor, and comes with a reflective clip that attaches to a hat or headset. Infrared lights shine out from the sensor, bounce off of the reflectors, and are used to track head movement. This can then be used in any compatible games (Flight sims and racing sims especially) and will allow the ingame camera to match the movements of your head.

Its a device that tracks your head. Mostly to control camera views. Search on YouTube for a demo.

It is a peripheral for your PC. It is very small - maybe 3 square inches large and it sits on top of your monitor. It emits an infra-red signal which are received by a set of reflectors that can be placed on a hat or headset so it can track your head in 3d space. This is super useful for games like ArmA or FSX where being able to freely look around while keeping your hands on the controls is almost entirely necessary.

Its a IR receiver that connects to your computer via hdmi. It use is for the Micro Soft Flight Simulator Program. If it can be used elsewhere, I don't know. Ps: mine works great.

its a head tracker, you place it on top of your monitor, you ware a special hat clamp that reflects the red light that the trackIr puts out, so in supported games if you move your head left,right,up,down,in,out,roll left,roll right you will do it in the game.

It is a peripheral that allows you to move your real, physical head and have that movement translated to virtual movement in some games. Titles that place a heavy emphasis on realism such as flight simulators benefit more than others, TrackIR isn't useful for Call of Duty or Peggle.A reflective clip is worn on a hat or visor and the matching sensor sits on top of your computer monitor.

It's an IR camera that tracks head movement by bouncing IR off of a clip you attach to a hat. It's used in gaming to translate your head movement into corresponding movement in game. For example, in a flight simulator (where I use it), it is used to control your view in 3d cockpits, giving 6 degrees of freedom in the cockpit as if you were really there. It is fantastic and I highly recommend it.

The display work like a second screen. Like if u go into your display properties and choose extend desktop. You will see two different thing on you computer and the tv.

It's a pretty good monitor and I have been using this for quite a while now without issues. I don't see a reason of why you wouldn't be able to use this for PC Gaming. The only issue would be that the monitor is glossy and so the glass is reflective. Other than that I think it pretty good.

I think you are being confused by the product name being something like a "Game Console Video Capture Device" because this is by all means a capture card. It is a special kind of capture card though. This device has video "in" and "out" ports which allows the user to send the video/audio to both a computer (via USB) and a TV (via Component). The result is that the user can, lets say, play a video game and record that game-play simultaneously. That is why it is referred to as a "Game Console Video Capture Device" because of this feature. Of course, it will fully work being connected to only the USB so it can behave like a generic capture card as well.

Hey man. Yeah I bought it for gaming. It's freaking awesome man, it works perfectly and has been the best piece of equipment i've owned yet. I bought it to finish my $1,200 gaming computer setup. I highly recommend this monitor.

Yeah, it's great. It's not 4k or 120Hz or something, but I have three of these doing eyefinity, and everything looks beautiful. 10/10 would recommend for gamers

I don't know what it is, but on screen movement seem typical, with good accuracy. Microsoft has a driver for it Very comfortable mouse, nice button placement for back, and windows key.

I have not used the set as a PC Monitor, in fact I never even thought about it.Why would you use it as a monitor, when there are plenty of alternative for a LARGE screen monitor????Please resppond

That's actually what I use it for most. Games like Battlefield, Call Of Duty, Titanfall, the games with which you would notice lag the most, and I can honestly tell you I do not notice any lag. I know the lag that reviewers are speaking of when it comes to games, I also have a slightly older 50" JVC LED on which you can definitely notice lag time between control input and on-screen movement.

The monitor only has two positions, open and closed. When open, it is only at that same angle that you see pictured. It seems like a good angle for general use, and all of the reviews say the viewing angles of the screen are very good, although I haven't seen it for myself. I am also wondering whether the limitation has been problematic for anyone who has used the device for a while.

You're welcome! I love this monitor. I've bought two already and might be purchasing another one. :)

David, I looked at the picture with the scope attached computer, and it appears that they are using a third party optical pickup that attaches to one of eye pieces on the scope to port the image to the PC - this must be a separately purchase item, and probably doesn't cost to much.

Hi there, It is not practical monitor. Not professionally reliable machine. Needs improvement.

XL24 is for PC gaming as it goes up to 144 refresh rate, consoles only put out a max of 60 fps so that would be overkill. Also the XL24's base is different allowing you to do height adjustment, rotating the monitor etc.

Great, I hope you post a full review soon.I'm curious about something. The PC looks flat like you use it like a laptop IF you were able to use a touch-screen keyboard. Does it come with a touch-screen keyboard?The thing about this that makes me wary is I don't know why one would even need a touch screen if it has to stand up on a desk like a regular monitor. In that case it seems easier to use the mouse than to reach up to touch the screen.

Unfortunately, as of now 3d displays are limited to 1080P only. The technology has yet to transition to even 1440 displays. I had been gaming in 3d for the last year, and I can say without question that 4k surpasses it in terms of immersion. I'm selling my 3d display and keeping this monitor. I can't go back to 1080p, even in 3d. The visuals with this are breathtaking, if you have the graphics card to run 4k.
