That's a smorgusboard of bad, but the bolded is a real pet-peeve. Samsung does the same thing with their monitors (well, they don't even have non-standard). VESA mounts! Is it really that much to ask for?

The display is more of a luxury than a necessity for me. I wanted a TV/monitor in my bedroom and the 3D gimmick is an add on. I am thinking of ordering this. Thoughts? Or could it go even cheaper?

i bought it. God damn the visuals look better than my 3yr old 32" samsung lcd hdtv. I cannot go back to that TV after this for games, its almost like i just upgraded the GPU in my ps3. I don't know if the LCD tech improved or its the small screen size but this monitor is pure quality.

It's listed at that price on Gamestop.ca as well for any Canadians interrested.
LOL I'm pretty sure this thing is still $700 in Australia.

If it fit on the bookshelf I have my current TV on I'd grab this sucker...though the lack of tuner really stings.

EDIT: Beaten. Would have posted earlier, but figured because of the bumps, people were talking about it.
Had mine since launch and I have to switch that every time I turn it on. Not sure what the issue is I asked Sony and they said they have never heard of such a thing.
Man even with all the bad reviews I'm still tempted for 200 + glasses + game + shipping... has anyone had a good experience with it? It seems to review highly by professional reviewers that have had theirs for several months. Maybe sony just sent them all the non-faulty ones...
Dude im not kidding. Maybe its the fact that my 3yr old 32" samsung has a shitty screen and all 24" LCD Monitors will look better than it. But there's a world of difference in the visual quality.

I had mine for only a few days/weeks before I returned it and bought the TV I'm using now. The colors looked washed out if you viewed the TV even slightly off-angle from what I remember. If you don't care that much about 3D, go for a similar priced ~32" set. If you do, you can't go wrong with a passive set since they currently have the least amount of crosstalk. Otherwise, I'd say wait it out a bit longer since new 3D panels (assuming you're interested in 3D) are coming out soon I think.
Thanks for the impressions

I've had it since Christmas. I love it. But I barely played games on it, it's mostly just for watching HD TV. So I've used it for 3D for less than 10 hours total the 5 months I've had it. But I really like the picture quality. If people point out the bad things with it I'd probably notice it, but as it it, I'm fine with it for watching TV and (as of yesterday) hooking it up to a laptop to play Diablo III.
Thinking about springing for one of these now. Target has them for $250. Had a gaming evening at a friend's house last night and I took my PS3. He's got a $8000 LG 3D TV (no idea what model, but it had two remotes, one with a pointer for the TV menu's).
My first experience of 3D gaming outside of the 3DS and it was incredible. Couldn't believe the image quality on Wipeout Fury, how solid and stable it looked. 3D was rock solid. Also tried Super Stardust HD, which again was incredible, and GT5 which had crosstalk issues in cockpit mode, but fine in other views.
If I can get anything like the image stability and depth from those games on the Playstation display then will be very happy indeed.
Edit: I've a laptop (macbook pro) with a ATI 6770M graphics chip and a moshi mini-displayport to HDMI adapter). Can I also use the display for 3D gaming under Windows? Nvidia has the 3D Vision feature, but can't get a clear cut answer of what feature (hydravision?) ATI have for this. Looks like the moshi adapter may be a limiting factor as well.

This seems like an absolute steal... definitely going to jump on it.
This display is a scam at anything over $100. It's so bad.
I guess if you're one of those super anal types who loves to complain. My only complaints are about the shitty speakers and dark, laggy 3D. It suits my needs just fine.

I still think it's great as a normal TV.
I wouldn't buy it for $199, unless it came with the second pair of glasses. Otherwise you're buying the 2nd pair for $60 which kills the sale price.

It's just the smearing of the blacks whenever there's movement. It's very distracting whether movie or game.
I wouldn't have known there was any smearing if other people hadn't complained about it.

I bought this last November and overall it is fantastic. I use it mainly as a computer monitor because I built a new machine at that time and the old monitor wasn't going to do. So I went with this because I wanted to try PC 3D gaming.
I don't know why people are having ghosting issues. I have yet to have any. And 3D blu ray is fantastic. I bought Arcsoft Total Media 5 with an online coupon discount and never looked back at Cyberlink or any other program.
My only advice is to make sure you read up on your 3D video card. There are a few that don't support this monitor. Otherwise enjoy. It's worth it.

It made playing the Darkness 2 a literal meaning lol.
Smearing goes away totally if you press the 3D button 3 times after you turn it on. No idea why but it works. I bought the PS3 remote because it has a 3D button and you can just click it a few times then get on with gaming.

This is true. The smearing does go away if you press the 3D button on the back three times. Well, note entirely. But significantly. I don't know what that is either, so random wtf.
I will try this when I get home. If true and it helps this display will be redeemed.
this isn't a tv. you'd need a cable/satellite box to get television.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Yeah think of it more as a comp Monitor. BTW I Think we should make a separate thread on the sale cause it's going to get buried in this thread.
It does help a ton, just press the 3d button until it cycles through the different modes then back to normal again. Good test is the 360 dashboard when you scroll between tabs.
If it was a 32"+ i would bite on it but it's just too small to replace my bedroom TV and my living room TV, i wouldn't mind owning it but i really have no where to put the thing unless i mount it above my 40" in my room or stick it on top of my dresser.
I really wish they would of put out bigger budget sized ones.

where's this deal at?
It was at gamestop, definitely varies by location, because they were aware of the upcoming sale and allowed for it.

I hit 3D 3 times and I might just be imagining it, but I think it looks better watching HD cable tv.
$200 with the 2nd pair of glasses? holy shit. I'm kinda regretting teh 3d since i never use it, and kinda hope for a passive 3d tv in the future. but $200 for two pairs and this quality of tv is dang good.

Whoa, I'm buying it tomorrow if they have that deal at my gamestop.
