Acer is using a less-expensive route compare to other notebook manufacturers:
- It supplies a pair of non-electronic polarizer glasses (plus clip-ons to wear over your regular glasses).
- In simplified terms, the laptop screen is polarized, or coated, so that one set of “even” lines delivers one image, while another set of “odd” lines delivers a slightly different image.
- As you wear the glasses, each eye is able to see only one of the corresponding images; the brain fuses them together so you experience stereoscopic 3D.
- These type of glasses are presently used in 3D movie theaters across Canada, US, and other countries.
The Aspire® 5738 family is your ticket to high-def cinematic fun and powerful mobile performance. Riveting action and realistic audio give you a theater-like experience. Complementing the brilliant performance is the dazzling glow of the Acer® Gemstone notebook design, sure to capture attention wherever you go.
The Aspire 5738DG with the TriDef 3D screen is a 3D notebook that will take your breath away. Put on the sporty and stylish 3D polarized glasses that come with the notebook and you’re ready for a visual feast. Play games, watch movies and view photos—all in 3D.

*For a free copy of the standard limited warranty end-users should see a reseller where Acer products are sold or write to Acer America Corporation, Warranty Department, P.O. Box 6137, Temple, TX 76503. TFT displays commonly exhibit a small number of discolored dots, so-called “nonconforming pixels.” This phenomenon is a limitation of TFT LCD technology, not a product defect and, as such, is not covered by the limited warranty or by the upgrade programs.
**Valid only in countries where Acer has an authorized repair facility. For a list of those countries go to http://global.acer.com/support/itw.htm. or call 800-816-2237. Services and response times may vary in countries outside the U.S. and Canada.
