3D TECHNOLOGY

Fusing cutting-edge technologies in an elegant design, the VAIO® F Series 3D laptop delivers a superior viewing experience in Full HD 1080p in 2D and 3D. Packed with a high frame rate LCD technology, this 3D laptop delivers incredibly high contrast levels and vibrant colors. Plus, a built-in 3D sync transmitter and included 3D Active Glasses let you enjoy 3D movies, photos and videos in Full HD 1080p picture quality.

Slide on the 3D Active Glasses and watch as images leap right into your lap. Sporting high-speed synching with 3D images and an ultra-high contrast ratio, these glasses greatly reduce unwanted "ghosting" effects known as crosstalk. Adjustable and comfortable, they are designed with side panels to block out excess light that creates annoying glare on other glasses. Better yet, they fit over prescription eyewear, and feature batteries that last up to 100 hours .

THE NEED FOR SPEED

Utilizing an ultra-fast, 240Hz refresh rate with high-speed precision, VAIO® F Series 3D laptop can display two frames, one for the left eye and one for the right, delivering a seamlessly smooth motion without the introduction of judder.
