Stops working after a few weeks, read forums
on April 2, 2012
Posted by: OscarAH
I got this about 2 months from now and I loved it, it was the best thing I've ever purchased and I was very happy with it, until one day it just didn't turn on, a blue light, a green and then 3 red blinks. That's all. That was the end of my playstation 3D display.
What's great about it: Wonderful image and great colors
What's not so great: Stops working after a couple of weeks
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Began Brilliant, but Flopped

I was awed by the display, let alone the 3D. Using this for PC, PS3, and 360.
Unfortunatly, I recently discovered many dead pixels. I can only hope this display is still under warenty.
Attached are some of the dead pixels I have discovered; one is a hair-like line!

Sony, fix your display.
on August 11, 2012
Posted by: Purp
Bought this display on July 11th, used it for a few hours a day, maybe 4 at mos. Then come august 5th I go to power it up, and am greeted with the blue wide light, as usual, followed by a green light to the far left, then just a constant red blinking light. After lurking the internet for a while, I found out my display is dead, and this is a pretty common problem. Ffs, I didn't even know displays/TVs could get a red light of death! For what I paid for, I expected at least a few years of enjoyment, not 1 month. Sony, fix your product. And a price-drop, is definitely not considered "fixing your product".
What's great about it: Beautiful display. Natural 3d
What's not so great: Lasted less then a month.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great for Specific Consumers

This was my initial review of this product during the first week of use:
I was on the fence about purchasing this display for a while now but I finally convinced myself to buy it. I read a lot of reviews and comments for this product so I have heard all of the pros and cons.
In my opinion, I think this display is best suited for consumers who are looking for a computer monitor and have ps3s. The quality is great for gaming and watching movies and the screen is a great size for your computer. The display also looks unique compared to your typical computer monitor and has built in speakers and a sub woofer. While the speakers are not amazing or mind blowing, it's still a nice addition. Do not judge the size of the screen in a large store as it will look smaller due to the large space. When I unboxed it in my room, I was surprised and it looked bigger than I expected. A lot of the flaws are minor to me and I can easily overlook them. For ex. the glare of the glossy screen (like a psp), the buttons on the back of the display w/ no remote, if you have a big head the 3D glasses may be a tight fit, and the size. If any of these things are a huge concern for you I would not recommend this product. This should NOT be used as a primary TV in a living room and don't expect to invite a group of friends over and watch movies on this display. The size is just not big enough and is difficult to view if you are not in your chair directly in front of it. This unit is great if you are looking for an individual product, not something you will share with a crowd of people. The 3D is great and Simulview works well.
At the end of the day, this product does exactly what I expected and was not disappointed. If you go in aware of the minor flaws and are still interested, you will not regret this purchase.

My feelings now after 1 month of use:
I still love the product but encountered a MAJOR problem. After about a month of use, the display malfunctioned and would not turn on. This is exactly what happened: I turn the monitor on and the display does not turn on. The indicator light below, which is red when off, turns blue, then green, and then blinks red twice every 2 seconds until you just turn it off again. I checked Sony forums and it seems that there are a decent amount of people encountering this same issue. I emailed Sony and they told me to follow standard trouble shooting procedure, none of which helps solve this problem. Sony has not yet released a fix or trouble shooting for this problem so if you decide to purchase this display, be sure to get a warranty or protection plan for it. I know it comes with a 1 year warranty with Sony but they don't seem to be taking it very seriously so I would suggest a 2 year protection plan from best buy, which is what I got. I exchanged my display a few days ago and the display is working fine, for now. I expect this problem to be resolved by Sony, eventually but I would tell customers to hold off on this product until they do.
What's great about it: great quality (240 hz refresh rate ), good size for computer monitor and for your room, 3D is good and Simulview works
What's not so great: glare, no remote. (All minor issues) *MAJOR ISSUE: would not turn on so I had to exchange it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Don't know what's with these people saying it only lasted 1 month?? I have had mine for just over 5 months. It's on almost 24/7 and runs beautifully so far! I know it says it has a subwoofer, but don't expect to be blown away by the sound. I use the PS3 stereo headset most of the time anyway. Very happy with my purchase overall. Just glad I didn't buy when it was $499
What's great about it: Beautiful Picture, Awesome 3D
What's not so great: Sound
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Value
on March 11, 2012

This is a wonderful display. This has to be the most affordable 3D display out there. Comes with SimulView, a built-in sub, tilt-screen, etc. I hate the fact that it doesn't come with a remote, but then again how many monitors do? This is not a TV. I wish it turned on automatically with the PS3, although it does turn off automatically when the PS3 is turned off. I've read reviews before saying theirs is defective right out of the box, but it isn't. When you first turn it on when you take it out of the box, make sure you turn the HD functionality on, on the PS3 by holding the power button until you hear that 2nd beep from the PS3. So when you look at the display it asks you if you want to set it to HDMI output. If you don't do that the very first time you hook it up to your PS3, the display turns itself off automatically thinking you don't need it cause the PS3 is by default set to A/V cable output. The SimulView technology is awesome, it's just a little tricky the first time. I watch 3D Blu-ray movies in it, and I know it's money well spent.
What's great about it: 3D, SimulView, loud speakers w/ built-in sub, timeless design
What's not so great: No remote(to be fair, it automatically turns off when you turn your PS3 off)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better then my 3D HDTV!

To keep this short, the Sony PlayStation 3D Display is the best of it's class & for $500 it's a must buy if you play PS3, Xbox 360 or PC games. also get the PS3 Wireless 7.1 headset, it work great & you can use it for PC as well.
Display & Picture Quality: 10/10
Just WOW, the Image Quality on this display is top class, 2D Picture Quality is very sweet, the colors & brightness are just perfect, the black level on this display is way too good,
Also you going to see a lot of details in games you never saw before, the display image quality is like the Apple Rentia Display. 240hz & input lag, i test from Uncharted 3, MW3 & Batman. not even once i saw any input lag. the display run at 4ms. 240hz works like a dream, no slow down what so ever in games. GTA IV is one of the games you can see the framerate issue but 240hz on this display, the game run very smooth, no slow down what so ever.

3D Quality: 9.5/10
The 3D image quality is great, 3D brightness & colors just right, better then any 3D HDTV display out there. i play Uncharted 3 in 3D & wow, i didn't want to go back playing it in 2D, that how great the 3D was. as for 3D Movies, i watch Cars 2 in 3D & just wow, it was really nice, you have to see it for your self. i did saw a very tiny bit of ghosting in Uncharted 3 but only on the middle of Chapter 5. this is one of the second best 3D display i ever seen, the first is the Sony Person 3D Viewer.

For the Display Glossy, turn off the light it work for me.
What's great about it: Great Picture, 3D Quality, the Display is just as the Apple Rentia Display which is very sweet.
What's not so great: Speakers are weak, the Screen Display is Glossy, no 32in Display : (.
I would recommend this to a friend!

PS3 3D display
on May 4, 2012
Posted by: vponce
The tv is great and all. It was beyond what I expected for a tv this size. But my issue was the life expectancy of the tv. Wihch is only about 30 days and I got the red blinking light of death. I really thought it was ridiculous that it broke down like that. When it happen to me I had just used it like a hour before it started with the blue light, then green, then it started to blink a red light. For what I paid for was not worth it. Now it's just back in the box. It's a good tv but I don't recommend if it breaks down the way it did. There's a lot more people that this happened too and I'm not surprised that there has not been a recall on this tv yet by Sony. I'm just saying.
What's great about it: Great 24" tv for a 3D display
What's not so great: The life expectancy is on about 30 before it stops workin
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
