Support NeoGAF

[Kintaco]

This is like the modern day version of that old crt tv made for gamers...I forget who made it though.

 

[Zomba13]

Can someone explain to me why you would buy this over a normal TV? Thanks

If you just want a smaller TV for your bedroom/dorm room or a 3D monitor for your PC or want a small TV for your consoles and don't care about TV (because you might get your TV stuff through internet TV services like netflix and hulu and whatever).

 

[Biff]

My Samsung HDTV is 26 inch

at the time i bought it for $500, I dunno why people are complaining...

jesus

Seriously, $499 is completely reasonable.

R3, $50
Glasses, $70
Cable, $10

$500-$130 = $370. Very fair price for a 1080p 3D with built-in speakers + subwoofer.

 

[jsnepo]

The splitscreen 2 player feature is very interesting, but I see no one on GAF talking about it. What gives?

That's probably dependent on the game and bundling Resistance 3 makes me think that the game will be the first to support it. I hope Starhawk does too when it releases.

 

[fizzelopeguss]

All depends on the panel, if it's IPS it could be a very solid monitor not just for ps3, but the GPU manufacturer 3d solutions as well.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

A very cheap wait to get into 3D?

Ah. Makes sense

 

[Totobeni]

Yeah, the shape is very PSPgo/Xperia looking, lol.

Well that design shape was for Mylo 2 (by Sony Electronic )and was made before the PSpgo or Xperia.

 

[Purexed]

I'm curious to learn about the 2 player screen tech too. I just bought a 59" 3DTV for my man cave, and there's no way in hell I'm springing for another TV any time soon.

I'm hoping the effect is PS3 and software based allowing it to work with any Active 3D setup. The concept itself is a killer app for gaming, especially sports games with icon passing, play calling and routes.

 

[Jtrizzy]

The dual individual screen setup should be doable on any 3d tv, shouldn't it?

It's the ps3 that's handling it, the display shouldn't care what it's displaying alternatively.

Yes I think so. This is one feature I would really like to see in more 3d games.

 

[theBishop]

This is not a television. Not sure if you realized that or not, so I thought I'd point it out. It's a monitor. It's priced as high as a high-quality IPS monitor.

Since it doesn't say otherwise, I'm going to assume this is a standard-backlit (non-led) baclit monitor and some unique features. If you primarily game on your monitor, it's worth considering.

Most people don't use their television as a television. Most people (in the US anyway) use an external tuner for digital cable or fiber.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

I want one so bad. The problem for me is that its either this or the vita this fall for me. I can't afford both at the same time :/. (aka poor college student)

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Most people don't use their television as a television. Most people (in the US anyway) use an external tuner for digital cable or fiber.

I know, but it's still important to point out. We pay quite a bit for the built-in TV tuner that comes on HDTVs, whether we use them or not. Sony not adding one probably saves $75-$100 on the consumer end.

Seriously, $499 is completely reasonable.

R3, $50
Glasses, $70
Cable, $10

$500-$130 = $370. Very fair price for a 1080p 3D with built-in speakers + subwoofer.

this is a fair point, I agree. If you're in the market and want Resistance 3, anyway.

Yea I can't believe how cheap it is. Beautiful.

 

[Shadow780]

This looks more like a dorm room TV to me.

Gimme a 60" version of this.

 

[EricHasNoPull]

Was a video of this shown at E3?

I'd like to see this thing in action, at least picture quality or something, wish it came in sizes 30 or 32", then it would been my ultimate PC gaming monitor, it's just that I already have a crappy 24" Acer monitor.

 

[BulletSmoke]

ugly, people have computer monitors just as big, should have been LED too

yea, should have be at least 32" to serve as a television

 

[AbsoluteZero]

That's a neat set. If my bookshelf could fit a 24" (Currently barely fitting a 19") I'd likely jump at it.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

price doesn't seem too outlandish, but 24 inches is just too small for gaming.

 

[thcsquad]

This looks like it's tailor-made for dorm rooms. The small size and active split screen, plus bundling a game that presumably (don't really know anything about R3 at this point) has split screen co-op means that Sony is trying to hook college kids on 3D tech, so when they graduate and get jobs they'll buy other Sony 3D stuff.

 

[DR3AM]

should be $350-$400 range

 

[nataku]

I've been looking for a PC/PS3 monitor for a while now and this might just be it.

 

[jaxpunk]

So I've got 2 24 in monitors on my desktop for my pc. Holding out for the announcement of the 50+ inch panel for not dorm rooms. While the price is fair, really 24 inches....

 

[GillianSeed79]

This is like the modern day version of that old crt tv made for gamers...I forget who made it though.

Samsung GX. This actually a pretty good deal as an optional screen. I have a 40-inch Samsung, but I would so buy this as a monitor for my gaming laptop and just using it on occasion as PS3 3D monitor.

 

[opticalmace]

should be $350-$400 range

And the Vita should be $149

 

[antonz]

Price is going to look even stupider this fall when it releases. TV prices have been on the downward slope non stop for quite awhile. If you can get 43" 3DTVs for 599 now wait til this fall when they are like 399

 

[Lince]

why not Uncharted 3 instead? makes you wonder how good the 3D mode of Unchart3D will be... I already have a 3D Bravia though, but this could serve as a nice backup.

 

[Gen X]

Not intended to be a troll, I just wonder if this is some sort of cheap alternative for gamers to get into the 3D market while Sony gets to shift some of their 3D glasses so they can move onto glassless 3D tellies in the near future.

 

[Brandon F]

Am considering replacing my aging Dell PC monitor for this on my desk(or doing the dual monitor thing).

Assuming reviews are kind for PC-use, and having my PS3 audio line sent to my 2.1 PC speakers....eh, actually that will kinda blow.

Also, how terrible are framerates with the 3D mode turned on? I have yet to really hear anything positive outside of SSHD. But Resistance 3(free) and U3 may get me to splurge. Actually fuck...I want to play those on my 50" plasma.

 

[jsnepo]

Maybe because the game won't be out yet when this gets released.

Where in the hell can you buy a $600 43 inch 3DTV today? Prices on standard HDTV sets have dropped considerably, but I haven't seen a decent 3DTV set for less than a grand with glasses not included.

 

[Izayoi]

He even called it a fucking monitor during the conference.

What a rip-off.

 

[MercuryLS]

And the Vita should be $149

This man knows what's up.

 

[Prosper]

All I have to do is wait six months for the clearance $349 prices

 

[sun-drop]

i've been waiting for the this to hit ps3 .... i'm guessing the 2 playr one screen mode is not something that is exclusive to this display though.

any REAL true 3d ps3 game should be able to do it right, not that bullshit fake 3d crisis uses. the likes of KZ3 should be able to send it's separate frames to a set of eyes rather than both lefts or rights.

ie it's 3d tech used to display two seperate 2d 'screens' ... instead of 3d.


so yeh i'm thinking maybe a ps3 firmware update and then the games need to know the option is avail. so what yr talking really here is a native ability ps3 will have .... they are just spinning the PR to sell this TV.


either way ... AWESOME ... i fucking hate split screen modes

[FrankNitty]

I dont think this will do well for some reason. Not at $500.00, if it were priced at about 379.99 tops then I could see these flying of the shelves.

 

[dangrib]

think this has multiple hdmi ports? i just need two and ill be fine. if its only 1 then i may have to miss out. need to hook up my mac mini to it too

 

[Rengoku]

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung...&ref=06&loc=01&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=2121834

Thats 720p though...

 

[sixteen-bit]

Glorious. Depending on display lag, I might get one.

Aye. I think people are forgetting that it is a bundle. Very fair price for the extra game capability it has.

Though I personally will be waiting for the 45"+ versions hopefully releasing soon after.

 

[antonz]

1080P cannot even begin to show its detail on a panel as small as 24"

 

[Teknoman]

Wtf? PSTV? This E3 is nuts.

 

[Basileus777]

$500 for a 24 inch monitor isn't all that impressive.

 

[cakefoo]

1080P cannot even begin to show its detail on a panel as small as 24"

As I read this on my 24" 1080p monitor, that's false.

Most people don't want to play games or watch movies from the same distance as they use computers.

 

[opticalmace]

Most people don't want to play games or watch movies from the same distance as they use computers.

If someone buys this 24" monitor for their dorm room they're probably going to sit almost as close anyway.

 

[Zoe]

Tell that to the devs who make the font sizes only legible from computer distances.

 

[linko9]

I hate those curved edges... this is not a PSP.

 

[Allard]

Yep. This may not be the greatest thing to a lot of you but it means a ton to me. A good 3DTV (Even though this doesn't have a tuner, it still Does all the normal crap I would use for a TV anyways) that is actually small and affordable is what I have been looking for, for nearly a year. 27" is my sweet spot but 24" is just fine. This is explicitly a dorm or small bedroom TV, (or computer monitor if you want). My bedroom is very small and I have my current TV and game station less then 2 feet away from my head even when I'm sleeping. I don't need something bigger, this is perfect size for me. The question is... will there be something better by the time this comes out. TV prices are falling rapidly all the time, if something better doesn't come out by the time this releases, I'll jump on it.

 

[DiscoJer]

If this came with a PS3, it would be a good deal, but....
