Sony has managed to put together an extremely stylish LCD display complete with LED back-lighting and MotionFlow 240Hz processing. There's also a set of built-in speakers, full support for the most commonly supported range of 3D modes (via HDMI 1.4), and SimulView - a brand new way of delivering split-screen gaming to the user using 3D glasses. All in all, it's quite considerable package - one that features a number of striking benefits over the competition but not without hitting a new hurdles along the way.

i use mine everyday and take it with me to gaming partys with my slim and PS headphones.quick fix for heavy 3D motion sickness,every game has a saturation bar you can adjust in the games OPTIONS.for UC3 or KZ3 about 50% is best for hours of 3D gaming.
Waiting for the pricedrop on it in Europe, like USA got it recently for about 150 bucks.
They're still 300 Euro overhere, although it gets 2 pair of glasses overhere compared to one in USA, plus KZ3 and GT5. Then again got both those games already.
Same pack if it drops to 200, it is a buy for sure.
dont believe the hype, ive had 2 3d tvs and it's garbage. Passive and active 3d sucks. The only time it works is movies, and even then it's not that good. current set up i have now is a lg 5600. yeah its about a year old, and it works, its just that software engineers have a long way to go cause noone has even got it half right .
Shredder i don't know why man but i got a 3d lg cinema and use it for movies and games and since i got that tv when i go to the movie teathers to watch a 3d movie it looks the same way i guess my eyes are getting use to it now about this sony 3dtv i want to get one but do you know if it is a smart tv o no?you know like access to netflix,pandora etc
Back in E3 2011 when PlayStation first showed off this TV, Game-Modo was jumping for joy. Why? Because for $500, not only was it going to come with the TV, but it also brought its own HDMI cable, a pair of 3D glasses, and it was to also come with Resistance 3 (Game-Modo love the Resistance series). Once the package was released last year it did not include R3 but instead MotorStorm Apocalypse - Game-Modo are not fans of the series so we ended up passing on it. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago when Game-Modo got an email from Best Buy informing me that the TV was part of their Deal Of The Day sales for $160. Obviously that was a deal that Game-Modo couldn't pass even if it came with a game that might never get opened.
With Americans now able to purchase the once uber expensive Sony PS3 3D display for under $180, it seems UK gamers can get in on the reductions too.
I want it cheap overhere in the Netherlands. I prefer 160 USD aka 120 Euro too!!!
Overhere cheapest is around 300 Euro, although it gives 2 pair of glasses (one pair is 50 to 70 bucks if bought separate) and KZ3 and GT5.
Thing is, I already own both of those games, if I sell em might bring something like 30 to 40 Euro. Still that makes 260 Euro total. I'd buy that bundle if it rocked around 200, 220 Euro max
Exactly, that's my problem too when it comes to bundles. I don't own those games but I don't like them hence I don't want them and I don't need an extra par of glasses either. They, retailers, should be selling the tv also without all those extras for those who don't want/need them, that way they could lower the price but I guess they don't want money.
In Portugal there's only a freaking retailer selling this product, it's exclusive to it and sony is to blame for that situation because there the ones that made that deal. That retailer is selling the tv for €449,90. You kidding me? After seeing BEST BUY selling it for US$159,99 you think I'm gonna pay €450 for the same bundle?
The minute they put it at a max of €199, they will have no problems at all selling this, but at the moment it will continue to raise spider webs in the shelves and/or storage.
I believe new customers of Very also get £30 off their first order, plus you can pay 12-months interest free.
If you want something that will break in 2 months, this is you 3D display!
Go read the amazon, CNET customer reviews if you don't believe me - this thing breaks more than even the PSP and PS2 laser did, combined.
Then why is my launch unit still working? Customer reviews sometimes are slanted by people just spreading false or inaccurate info.
There's also. . . WARRANTY! I figure that a two year warranty from Best Buy will work. Try the same in the UK?
The European law on warranty forces the producer to give 2 years of full warranty on electronics like this and the shop officially 1 year, but they need to help a customer if he/she isn't able to claim the 2nd year at the producer.
So basically no need to buy a 2 year warranty in EU.
Love this thing!i take it everywhere i go.to my friends house on trips its super thin and lite.3D is the future of gaming.
Good review, if people are thinking of getting one read this I think they covered everything
Good device , but too many flaws and a price not there yet to justify choosing this over a better 40 tv set for only a bit more , or a regular pc monitor . Unless you are that into the whole simulview option .
