5.0 out of 5 stars A must-buy for Playstation fans who want to taste 3D gaming at an affordable price., November 15, 2011

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: PlayStation 3D display (Video Game)
Like many of you, I spent a lot of money for my LCD TV several years ago. When Sony announced their firmware update that allowed for 3D gaming and viewing of 3D Blu-Ray movies, I was tempted to buy another widescreen TV, but couldn't justify shelling out a few thousand more dollars for it. 3D would have to wait.

Sony did something clever with this product. They bundled a 24" monitor with 3D glasses, the game Motorstorm Apocalypse, and an HDMI cable and priced it under 0. Suddenly it was a lot more affordable.

The monitor comes packaged in a large box with a carrying handle (another benefit of ordering a smaller TV is that you don't need a crew of people to carry it upstairs). There's a slight amount of assembly required, which is a snap (literally). You attach the monitor to the stand and the stand to the base. Then, you just plug it into AC (the power cord is only about 5 feet, which was a bit small for my needs), and then plug the HDMI cable from your PS3 to the unit.

It took me a while to find the power button, which is on the back of the unit to the right. There are six buttons in total: a power button, an input selector button (which switches between two HDMI connectors and one set of component (yPbPr) connectors), two volume buttons, a menu button, and a 3D button. They're all pretty generically shaped and lined up in one column, but to help you out an on-screen diagram will pop up when you press one to make sure you're pressing the right one. From the menu you can adjust the picture, including Backlight (0 to 10) and Picture Mode (dynamic, standard, cinema). You can also define a custom picture mode, setting your own brightness, contrast, color, hue, sharpness, and color temperature. It can be quite a pain to adjust menu settings with the buttons behind the unit, but you get used to it soon enough.

The PS3 recognized the monitor immediately. I was pleasantly surprised by the crispness of the display. The colors and clarity on the LED display were definitely deeper and crisper than my current LCD TV. Likewise, the sound was powerful (it has 2 channel stereo output at 3W and a subwoofer at 5W built in).

The 3D glasses come in a separate felt pouch, and the lenses come protected with some plastic over them (you pull off the plastic with convenient pull-tabs). It took me a while to figure out how to turn them on--there's a power switch on the inside for "battery" and then a separate power button on top, both of which need to be switched on. I was very happy to see a micro-USB connector on top (you need to pry open a little door to see it). I was afraid that like other Sony 3D glasses it'd be powered by a watch battery, but it looks like these glasses can be charged. Note that the connector is a smaller micro-USB connector and not a mini-USB such as the one used to charge the Dualshock and Move controllers. But happily there's a small USB-to-micro-USB cable included. I wear glasses, but the 3D glasses fit comfortably over them.

I popped in the game "MLB: The Show 11" to test it out. No 3D. I went to the menu options, and the 3D option was greyed out. I finally realized that I had to go to the PS3 menu under "Settings", and select Video Output Settings > HDMI > Auto and set the screen to 24 inches before 3D would be enabled. Once I did that I returned to the game where now I saw all kinds of new disclaimer screens I didn't see before referencing 3D.

Within the game, I adjusted the 3D settings. The first settings I tried had a lot of ghosting. But by adjusting the sliders a little I finally got a picture that was absolutely perfect. I wish that Sony had a "universal" setting instead of having us control it game-by-game, but bottom line, if the game developer did it right you will have control over the depth of 3D you can see.

Next, I tried a 3D Blu-Ray which I happened to get today in the mail, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. The disc started up and went right into 3D mode, with the opening menu gloriously popping out of the screen. It was a clean, crisp picture with no ghosting as far as I could tell. As is typical with these active 3D glasses, the picture was very dark even with the backlight set at maximum (it's like watching a TV screen with sunglasses). But if you sit close enough to the TV and/or adjust the menu settings, you should find a viewing setting that's comfortable.

Last, I tried connecting it to my laptop, which happens to have an HDMI output jack. To my delight, I was able to go to YouTube's 3D channel, play videos with the "side by side" viewing method, adjust the 3D mode of the TV, and see the videos in full 3D! Not surprisingly, the picture quality, resolution and color fidelity were excellent. I hadn't planned on it, but I will be most likely be making this my second computer monitor of choice.

The set does support "SimulView", which allows two people to play a... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars I really wanted to give this 5 stars, but..., December 17, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PlayStation 3D display (Video Game)
So much has been covered in other reviews that I'll just cut right to what matters to me.

I could probably qualify as a Sony Fanboy. I've had a PS3 since launch, had a VITA pre-ordered within 30 minutes of it showing up on Amazon and have a nice collection of other Sony electronics. I would love to give this 5 stars and use ZOMG Awesome at least 20 times, but unfortunately I can't.

Sony really hyped this up as a premium 3D display with stunning picture and sound. I think it fell quite short of the expectations Sony set for it. Overall, it's not a bad product, just completely overhyped.

First, the sound is really weak. I have a basic set of 2.1 computer speakers that absolutely blow it away. The sound is about typical for what you would expect for TV speakers. Unfortunately Sony led us to believe these would go far above the average TV speakers. I also don't notice any hint of a subwoofer. I use the new Sony PlayStation Headphones when playing PS3 games, but more on that in a bit.

Second, glare. If you have a light source behind where you're sitting the glare will be so bad you won't be able to see through it to see the screen. In my case, when using the 3D glasses, I was getting bad glare reflecting both on the screen and on the inside of the glasses. I can only use the 3D enjoyably when I'm playing in a completely dark room.

Third, either I have a really big head or the glasses are made for teenagers. The pressure on the ends of the arms of the glasses is so tight I get pain and headaches after 30-45 minutes of use. By an hour it's unbearable. I understand you don't want them to fall off, but it's not like I'm going to be wearing the glasses while riding a roller coaster. What's even worse is that I use the PlayStation Headphones while gaming. Trying to use the headphones and the glasses is really difficult. I can tilt the ends of the glasses up slightly but then the glasses are even tighter on my head. Granted, both things are competing for the same physical space, but I think if the glasses weren't so tight I could more easily find a comfortable position.

Last, I'm not impressed with this display as a computer monitor. I'm running it in a dual display with a LG IPS monitor. The PlayStation Display doesn't even compare. The text is really pixelated and fuzzy, although it seems to be getting clearer the more I use it. A lot of my programs have an all white background and on the PlayStation Display the white background doesn't look even across the whole monitor. If I move my head areas of white get lighter and darker as I move.

So far I've only had this happen when being used as a computer monitor, but infrequently the screen blacks out and then the picture comes back after 4-5 seconds. I've seen this in other reviews too I'm not sure what this means but this doesn't leave me with a lot of confidence that this monitor is going to have a long life.

In Conclusion, I think this is a decent product that Sony completely advertised wrong. Sony should have advertised this as an affordable (helped by now being 0 less) entry-level Playstation 3 only 3D display. Sure, you can use this as a computer monitor, or to hookup your Wii, but this is really meant to be used only with your PS3. It's an OK PS3 display, but it's not great. If it's properly priced and advertised an OK PS3 display can be OK and doesn't have to be a bad thing.

Given the seemingly disappointing launch of this product, it's probably safe to say we'll never see a larger 32" version. But if this is the best Sony can do, maybe it's for the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sony Playstation 3D Display, November 14, 2011

This review is from: PlayStation 3D display (Video Game)
I just picked one of these up at GameStop and I'm very pleased with my purchase. 3D gaming looks great, especially Uncharted 3, and the quality of the screen was way more then I was expecting.

I personally prefer a smaller monitor to a larger one. I've always played better on them with this especially noticable when playing online games like Uncharted 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

I own a 40 inch Samsung and this looks just as good as that if not better.

Sound is also great.

It really sucks that it doesn't come with a remote, but the buttons in the back aren't that hard to work with.

Everything seems to be built really well too.

And a heads up, if you buy it at GameStop before the 20th of December you get a copy of Uncharted 3 for free.

I was a little worried about buying this, but after playing Uncharted 3, Modern Warfare 3, and Skyrim on it I'm very glad I decided to go with this. I think people looking for this size of a monitor will be more then pleased.
