I'm not seeing it but I'm not running these tests. Seems fine to me.
Does anyone have problems watching videos on the PS3 where it appears washed out and around the screen is brighter then the rest? I tried to calibrate the monitor but the settings are basic and playing any games all the colors appear to be vivid and bright.
As a monitor connected to my Mac has the same problem with videos too. Especially ones where they are letterboxed and the black bars are washed out and not really black with the bright spots just around the the sides and top/bottom of the display?

I posted this in the Halo Anniversary OT but figured there was probably a better chance of getting some feedback here...
To take this further is the SimulView tech for a select few PS3 games only and is the 3D option available through the component input?

Thanks for posting about that. I will never buy it because of this. I absolutely cannot stand suddenly seeing my goofy face pop up on screen when I'm immersed in a game and travel to a dark environment or hit a load screen or whatever. Glossy screens can go fuck themselves.

yep. it's called crosstalk. a few different 3D technologies suffer from it. in the case of active shutter glasses displays, it's because the pixels can't quite switch all the way between the two images as fast as they need too. certain transitions take longer than others, generally white to black or vice versa is where you'll see it most obviously.
the 3DS suffers from it for different reasons, and some passive technologies suffer from it also.
it's not an issue for every game or film though. it's noticeably worse on KZ3 than it is on Wipeout or God of War PSP collection for example.
Yeah simulview is only for games that support it, and that list is ps3 only at the moment.
Pretty sure 3d requires hdmi.
Played a little bit of Halo CE anniversary in 3d... meh. The framerate gets worse, resolution too, I think. Not worth the 3d effect.
Also, not pleased that Avatar 3d isn't available to buy nowadays. Apparently the extended version in 3d is due out in 2012 sometime. What the fuck is taking so long? I never watched it in 3d in theaters, and I thought with all the tv manufacturers pushing 3d tech, they'd want something like Avatar 3d available to help sell the gimmick.
And I had to buy that new ps3 "blu-ray media remote" because I wanted an easier way of adjusting things in the menu. This thing should've come with a remote, stupid Sony.

This should give definitive lag testing.

Is this display the only 3D TV capable of "Simulview?" or is that just something the PS3 supports with any compatible 3D TV?
Panasonic bought exclusivity to the original Avatar 3D Blu-Ray for bundles of their 3D TVs.

Got the display yesterday and my thoughts so far are:
Good
The 3D works well for games that support it well.
The picture quality is decent.
The display supports HDMI control.
The screen can act as a mirror if you need one lol.
Bad
The screen can act as a tinted mirror and it's noticeable in a well lit room.
The sub woofer is only 5w so the sound doesn't have much bass to it.
Constantly being able to see the reflection of what's behind you in the corners of the 3D glasses is annoying.
Ghosting is noticeable in games like Uncharted 3; especially if you're up close.
Looks like it so far since I haven't seen any other 3d display advertise Simulview and the games have to support it in order for it to work.

I thought that was a shortsighted move on their part. It's obviously the Blu-Ray movie to push 3D, especially bia word of mouth
It seems like Panasonic paid $ to grab themselves a slightly bigger slice of an ultimately smaller pie.
I did that, but at Futureshop (which the deal is gone now). Got a $100 PS3 for a friend. 8)

Does anyone else notice some color bleeding/blurring/ghosting. Not sure what to exactly call it.
Take for instance - on Xbox 360. Go the dashboard panel between the one with IGN insider w/ Jessica Chobot, and the one either to the left or right of her. In 2D - when you swap between the IGN Insider square and the one to the right (or left) I notice there is some red outlining image that bleeds around Jessica's face and then settles away when the image is still.
can anyone confirm or deny this on their 360? You may have to sit a little close, it's subtle, not something extremely drastic.
I understand that artifacts do occur when a 240hz tv is dealing with a 60hz signal, but I just want to know if this is standard, or my particular TV is defective.

If people are noticing bad crosstalk in the Lion King then its honestly safe to write this monitor off. Crosstalk is terrible in many S3D games on my Panny plasma but it can cope with something like the Lion King just fine.

A GTX 460 is going to manage 3D games better than a PS3.
You should really be using the 720p/60hz option for PC games, it'll help with framerates as well.
Sonic Generations is a special case, leave your monitor in standard 1080p/60hz 2D mode and use the in game stereo3D option. The monitor should be able to convert that into a 3D image.

Yeah, I really like the way that Sonic Generations handles it. I don't have mess with my initial settings. It does the switch for me.

I didn't notice any while playing MVC3. Someone did a small test on GAF I think...
Otherwise, check here for a quick test someone did: http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/input-lag-on-ps3-3d-display.149734/

Yeah, I don't notice any input lag, but I do notice ghosting, or color bleeding. You can really see it on the XMB against a black background or on the 360 dashboard with certain colors over others.
Also, quick question - the package came with Motorstorm? I keep seeing some mentions online here even in the OP that mentions Resistance 3.

Can anyone tell me how wide this display is? I want to put it on my desk to be used as both a gaming TV and a computer monitor. I just want to make sure it will fit.

You get Resistance 3 and Uncharted 3 alongside Motorstorm if you per-ordered from Gamestop. Although, it's waaay too late for that per-order bonus.
24 inches.
Newegg has the display on sale for $399 for anyone that's interested.

It's theoretically possible that other TVs will handle Simulview if you're using the glasses from this set; they're supposed to work with many other displays, the control for switching player is on the glasses themselves, and it's the glasses that need to do something special to make it work.

what are you trying to watch with it? public television?
that usb tv tuner won't work....you will need a tv turner for the monitor, if you are not going to use your pc. You need something like this TV Tuner box, this one goes for $32...search around you might find one cheaper.
if you already have cable/satellite box, then you won't need no additional product......just hook the HDMI cable to it and you are good to go.....same thing if you watch TV streams using your cpu....hook it up with via VGA.

This is for my small room. That VGA tuner would be perfect though. It would keep the component and HDMI ports free.

The reviews on that unit you linked are pretty scary. Also, will that tuner handle HD (I guess OTA)?

If any of you guys just want a 3d Mointor don't get this display since there are a lot of very good (and cheaper) alternatives. Such as this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824016168 which supports HDMI, DVI-D, and Dsub.
That doesn't come with glasses, and it looks like it doesn't support HDMI 1.4 or SBS, so no PS3 or 360 3D.

I'm tempted to grab a second for dual monitors.
The four answers are Human, Orient, Alucard, Carrier. After I entered all four it redirected me to a sign up page but there isn't any field to submit your info unless you view the page in basic. If you click "no" you'll be redirected to a Justin Bieber video lol
Apparently the website is broken now?
It'd be nice if this is true but I think we're all getting trolled.

If only someone posted the answer to the "Why are you here, construct?" question we could know for sure.

I ended up buying the TV at Best Buy. Both Amazon and Best Buy have it on sale. Tried it out today and absolutely love the TV. It feels bigger than I thought it was. 3D gaming was really fun and it worked well. It sucks that there's no remote (would make it easier to control), otherwise I like it a lot.

Damn, wish I knew it was going to be on sale at Amazon. I bought it from NewEgg a couple days ago for the same price. With Amazon I could have gotten more credit card points and received it quicker with Prime shipping.
Glad to hear you like it, though! I eagerly await the arrival of mine as well. I think I'll probably program my universal remote to be able to control the display.

It's good as a monitor. I haven't been able to try out 3D with the monitor since my card can't do 3D.

Just got my display from Futureshop from the $95 deal. It looks great so far.
Does anybody have any ideal color settings. I usually leave them at default, but maybe someone with a better eye than me has good settings.
Also, when I charge the glasses, do they need to be turned on when I plug them in?
