PS3 3D display - is it worth it

Does anyone have one? Is it worth it? I saw the Hobbit and 3D and now I want one.

Re: PS3 3D display - is it worth it

What is a PS3 3D display?

The PS3 can play 3D games/movies and it looks nice. I really enjoy it.

It's cheap, I don't regret paying $99 for mine, but I used the 3D once and don't intend to use it again.

Too small IMO for prolonged 3D enjoyment.

I don't have one, but you get 24" of screen for $500(that's msrp, I didn't research the price). Seems like a ripoff.

I did use the SimulView technology at best buy. You have two image on screen like you do with 3D. Player 1 has glasses that allow him to see what his screen is doing. Player 2 can see only what his screen shows. So both players have full screen views on the same TV. Not sure if a normal 3D TV can do this or not.

It can't, and I think only certain games support it.

Note that the PS3 often also has to reduce the visuals/resolution to play games in 3D.

Really, as to this specific product, pass unless you can get it at a throwaway clearance price like I did on the Wednesday before Black Friday. I have it set up next to my several year old 24" Dell and will probably go back to using that one as my primary after using the Sony for a month.

You can do it with the LG LM7600 series and above.

Re: PS3 3D display - is it worth it

I have a 3D HDTV, but not the PlayStation TV or whatever it's called.

I like it for some things, not so much for others. That's really all that I can say about it.
