PlayStation 3D Display Review

[News]

It's been eight days since the long-awaited PlayStation 3D Display launched! Many reviews are in, and the majority are so favorable that the PS Display has 4/5 star rating on Amazon.

In case you don't know about the PS 3D Display, the device is a 24" HD 3D monitor. While the size is on the small side, it is perfect for gaming: clear, precise imagery, in a size perfect for a bedroom or dorm room (or just off to the side in a living room).

The best feature of the 3D Display is the capability to use the 3D technology to give full-screen imagery to split-screen players. You need two pairs of glasses to utilize this feature, but it's well worth it! No more screen-peaking, hooray! The split-screen only allows for 2D imagery, but still, well worth it.

This PS 3D Display bundle also includes MotorStorm: Apocalypse, an HDMI cable, and one pair of PlayStation 3D Glasses (buy another set if you want to use the split-screen feature).

While there are several 5-star reviews, we'll show you a 4-star review so that you can get a well-rounded perspective. From Jonathon S. "Jackal" on Amazon.com:

Sony has created a sleek, feature packed monitor that is great for some, but not for all. It features a beautiful 24-inch LED backlit screen, active 3D technology, full 1080p resolution, and 240 Hz refresh rate. Another additional feature is its SimulView Technology which adds full HD visuals to two players wearing 3D glasses.

This is a monitor, not a TV, so it does not include a TV tuner. It does have 2 HDMI inputs, a component input and a headphone jack, which should be enough to connect your computer, a gaming system, and digital box. The monitor itself includes built-in speakers and a subwoofer which will be enough for sound, but is easily outclassed by decent speakers.

Pros:
+ Beautiful 1080p resolution
+ Active 3D technology looks beautiful
+ 240Hz refresh rate
+ Includes Motorstorm: Apocalypse

Average:
= Only one set of 3D glasses, making SimulView even more pointless and expensive
= At 24-inch, would only use this if you desktop game or in a small room
= Average speakers

Bad:
- No remote
- Controls on the back of monitor makes it a guessing game

All in all the Playstation display should only be purchased if you desktop game and want to add a 3D experience. It makes a great PC monitor and gaming display, but is not large enough to be an adequate display in anything but small rooms. This is further compounded by having no remote and all the controls hidden behind the display.

This is a high quality 3D display at a great price, but only for the select consumer.
