If you like 3D effects, you’re going to love this. I like the themes at ThemeForest right now, I’m constantly impressed. This one features a 3D+fade slider, very nice jQuery use and a lot of custom backend stuff. And it seems to include Flash in an easy to edit fashion! I’d love to try it out!

Here’s the description from ThemeForest:

DISPLAY is a WordPress Theme, best suited for Business and Portfolio sites. It comes with a fantastic 3D Image slideshow that can be controlled from your backend with a custom tool. The Theme has a huge wordpress custom backend (8 additional Admin Pages) that make customization of the Theme easy for those who dont know much about coding or wordpress.
