AOC Razor 3D LED TV is great value for money

Call it what you like, "the world's smallest 3D TV" or a computer monitor, the AOC Razor 3D LED TV is a great catch given its price - Rs 19,990.

The Razor uses passive 3D technology which eliminates the need for those battery-powered active shutter 3D glasses which can be a pain to wear. Interestingly, the box comes with four (yes, FOUR) pairs of passive 3D glasses that let you enjoy multiple hours of viewing 3D content.

Setting up the TV took less than three minutes. The Full HD screen produces sharp colours and high contrasts and the images appear natural.

The 3D images had enjoyable depth but only while viewing from fairly close to the screen. The AOC Razor has a direct 3D key on the remote to convert and watch 2D content with 3D effects. But the experience is truly enjoyable only with the real 3D content.

However, we felt that this TV doesn't offer wide viewing angle. There was a slight lag of 3D depth when we moved from the front of the TV to the side. Also, the 3D content on this display didn't hurt our eyes much.

The TV is equipped with Dream Surround Sound that claims to create an immersive sound with rich bass. However, it appeared only average. The TV has a USB port on the side that can be used to play multimedia content. The AOC razor has an acceptable refresh rate and can play heavy 3D games with ease. While it's a nice idea to use it as a TV, just like other displays, it can work as a monitor too.

Bag it or Junk it:  An excellent 3D experience on a bright full HD display.
