    Why would you want a 3d display with an ATI 5470?
    Is this just for 3d tv content?

    I'm assuming yes, this is more of a multimedia notebook than something like the Lenovo Y560d or HP ENVY 17 3D, which are good for gaming.

    However I don't know where one would get 3D content at the moment; there is 3D Blu-ray but this notebook does not have a 3D Blu-ray drive.

    3D pictures, maybe; some newer cameras can take 3D pictures.

    This is just a way for MSI to jump on the 3D laptop craze, it's to underpowered to game on and 3D content is limited on it so what's the point.

    5470? 1366 x 768 at 15.6"? What is this, some kind of joke?

    Well, most 3D screens are 1366x768. Graphics cards often aren't powerful enough to run things like games at higher resolutions (since they often have to render twice the frames).
