Playstation 3D Display: Better in 2019 than 2011

This thing has really changed how I look at gaming now. I want to play everything with it, and I nearly can!

I really like this, but even mine is starting to fail. I can't believe that during the whole time I was filming I didn't record it happening but mine is exhibiting the random black screen issue. I don't know for sure that it is related to the EEPROM that prevents it from turning on, but I suspect so.
More info on the problem and repairing it can be found here if you want to learn more:

I owned one and they were notorious for having high failure rates, which is why they never took off. Mine was no exception, it got returned almost immediately due to constant input failure with regular 2D games. My friend gave me his defective one as well, which I still own and sometimes works, but usually doesn't. The things were just cheaply made and just burned out. And yes, the first thing I said when I bought it was, it was a nice mirror from Sony.

Its weird how some people got SO angry over a optional feature.

[@azv343]

People got angry because they're fucking sheep, all the articles would do backhanded compliments towards 3D via passive aggressive quotes like: "While you need to don those dorky glasses, the effect is rather interesting". Obviously people would internalize that and not even enjoy the experience because they became too self conscious, then they'd pile on those myths over "headaches", "cash grab", "gimmick"... the narrative was stacked against 3D... in English speaking countries mind you. Since these talking points didn't translate from English to other languages, everywhere else that didn't speak English, they loved 3D and adopted it immediately. But since America sets the trend, Japanese and Korean manufacturers stopped supporting 3D because 'Murica.

You can do this with any 3d passive tv. Put the 3d mode as the same as how the 2 player is split (either horizontal or vertical). You can either buy the glasses designed to 2 player full screen or cut out one of the lenses out of 2 glasses and paste it on the other glasses. Boom, 2 player full screen on any game.

Opinion about this new format: I actually like it a lot more. I know it's a ton more work to do and more editing in the end but it definitely pays off. I also want to shift my future video making to this format despite it being a lot more prep- and post-work to do since people generally seem to enjoy it more than live-content.

Considering this is the first video of you've that I've seen, and the fact I didn't bat an eye at the b-roll, I'd say your experiment was a success.

[@EratoTiaTuatha]

I've owned one for a couple years and use it as my main PS4 display as well as a secondary PC display. To be honest, I haven't noticed any issues with ghosting/motion/smooth scrolling on it, the colors are probably the best out of any screen I've used (and while my own have always been modest, I've used some quality panels) and it's just such a good size for a screen that's meant to be sitting fairly close to you rather than mounted on a wall a few meters away. I don't even own the glasses as mine came with just the panel haphazardly strapped between two pieces of styrofoam, but I've been low key looking for a second one of these and I'll definitely grab one if I see a complete set. I've also seen sets of three of these mounted vertically side by side to create a larger display, though the side bars on them are a little wide for that solution in my personal opinion.

[@concil1]

Lmao, this used to be my daily driver for over a year when i switched to PC EDIT: Just got done watching the video, and i 100% agree with what you said, but i think it made a fairly decent PC monitor. If you could look past the ghosting and sharpness. I remember i had long broken my 3D glasses way before PC gaming was a shine in my Eye. Before i was going to replace the monitor for a shiny new true 144hz display i decided to order some new 3d glasses for the TV. After a bit of finicking around with Nvidia drivers and settings, i was able to get it working. And the 3D effect it produced was amazing. I played on a 1070ti so it was hauling really well and never any dips in frames. I tried many demos and such, but the only game i ever got to work natively was Overwatch, to my surprise. It was just a game that was compatible with the 3D vision/drivers of nvidia, i found it on a list somewhere. So i tried it, and it was incredible. Reminded me of playing Tron legacy but smooth af and the depth was great. Nostalgia aside, this monitor had many shortcomings, but it did what it set out to do well.

The best 3D display these days is a modern VR headset. The Oculus Quest, Rift S and Valve Index all comfortably render 720p-ish virtual displays without the drawbacks to brightness, pixel response and refresh rate and are still actively supported hardware.

[@AndyAndyAndy11111]

As an Index owner I'd say you still don't really get 720p quality. The only HMD that I know of that approaches that level of virtual resolution is the HP Reverb. There's some other drawbacks like godrays and comfort too. For as comfortable as I find my Index it still obviously gonna weigh more and be less comfortable than a pair of glasses. On the positive side it doesn't have the drawbacks you mentioned plus the 3D effect will always be perfect and you don't need to find a sweet spot like you would with glasses.

[@deanlillie7140]

@@AndyAndyAndy11111 It depends on how far away/large the virtual display is. 720p is easily discernible at a reasonable size, though maybe not sized as a virtual monitor on a virtual desk. Even a 1080p desktop is usable, I regularly use Virtual Desktop on my Quest at that res though it can be a bit difficult to read very small text if there's not much contrast.

I actually had one of those 3d TV's! I put it inside my 18 wheeler and played 3d PS3 games and watched 3d movies while I was over the road. Honestly I perfer 3d over VR any day!

My PC sits in the same Chillblast PC case, whether you still have it. Great video on 3D gaming. I had a 3D TV back in the day, but it never looked great with polarised glasses. The new 3ds was a breath of fresh air that I still love to play. These days with a Quest 2, I don't find the stereoscopic effect strong enough with not being able to finely adjust lens seperation, but atleast our dreams from youth of immersive gaming are much more of a reality.

[@MrHeartbreaker562]

How were you guys able to connect your PlayStation 3d tv to your computer? I connect it and nothing happens

[@warbluedragon]

Often I wonder about this TV because I chose not to buy so long ago. Thanks for your time. 20 years of old games in a new 3D view sounds awesome.

[@mynameisjeff8384]

I would love to buy this lmao this is my dream screen

[@ErraticPillow]

um explain why the tv needs a flash of its eeprom? is the eeprom chips on these tvs known bad and need to be replaced with a better eeprom chip then re-flashed?

[@FlamingPhoenix40]

I think you almost have it. Considering he’s talking about an out of production eeprom, I think it needs to be the same model as the original, hence why he showed an entire tube of them in the video.

[@somedude4122]

@@FlamingPhoenix40 It's quite trivial to make an SPI Flash to EEPROM adapter, you could do that with a $1 CPLD, if an MCU isn't fast enough.

[@yjk_music]

After a bit of googling, EEPROM on the display seems to go bad and display no longer works. You can find a bit more information if you google “PS3 3D display blinking light”.

[@LobotomyTC]

The eeprom burns out over time because Sony put too much voltage to the chip.

[@blastermaster5009]

@@eggmane Thankfully I haven't experienced that with mine yet, however I have had the right side of the screen literally fall out due to the weak adhesive they used. It's a good screen, but the build quality sucks.

[@chronossage]

Man I'm with you on 3d gaming. I'm lucky to of acquired my dad's old lg 55g2 which is great old 3d tv which uses passivle 3d glasses like movie theaters. I kind of like passive 3d a bit more then active but, that's really up to personal preference. That reshade program seems really useful as I've been having a heck of a time getting tridef working and, not just crashing after I run a game for 5 minutes.

[@Scarecrow9black]

I have one of these that I left at parents house when I moved out. Gonna see if I can grab it next time I visit! Thanks for the video

[@kevinsuarezmacena1003]

The reflective nature of this display is where really suck at, weird that you don't point that out.

[@JakonDeluxe]

Looks like an oversized Xperia Play lol Great video thank you

[@theman0864]

Awesome video. I bought a 3d tv years ago and a vr headset also. I gotta say one thing I miss about 3d tv was the simplicity of it. Putting on my headset feels like a chore now. You can use your vr headset to play any 3d games on a virtual screen in 3d as apposed to only playing VR games with it and this does work really well. But I would personally rather use a 3d tv for this. And your definitely right about emulation working well for 3d. Some of the best 3d games I played was using dolphin and if you like rpgs xenoblade chronicles looked fantastic in 3d.

[@vanessavachon434]

Quick question…. Anyone know how to connect this as a monitor for my Laptop? I have been trying to figure it out for a few days and my hdmi cable or laptop isnt picking it up. Anyone know? :) thanks in advance

[@carlosrodriguez-di3bs]

Playing Tekken tag 2 with a 3d tv was fun.

[@ryanmacewen511]

Oh bummer. I got a 24" GSYNC monitor compatible ASUS monitor, and the Nvidia shutter glasses. So if I'm running the latest driver for my 1080ti, I can't use 3D with newest driver? (I ask because I have monitor and glasses put aside) and mainly game on my 65" LG TV in 4K. The LG is also 3D, but playing on it was kinda horrible. Too much ghosting, and had to sit so far away, it negated the point of a large screen. Maybe when VR headsets get better resolution, I'll snag one.

[@hoapat4247]

On the part where you said when connected to a PC it doesn’t go above 60 hz; don’t you have to scroll down to the PC video settings to get above 60 hz? You were on the HD video settings at the top of the list. That’s what I have to do on my monitor, so you may try that and see if it works

[@loganwebb5449]

I was with you until the VR thing. I’ve had the rift, rift S and google cardboard and have never had issues.

[@sluxi]

Some people are just more susceptible to sim sickness. Vast majority of people should be fine if they stick to games that don't do stuff like artificial locomotion and anecdotally some people also can develop some tolerance with time though.

[@krank23]

Very interesting! I absolutely love 3D (and VR - like you, I don't see them as competitors) and I've been very sad to see its decline in recent years. I'll continue using my current 3D TV to watch 3D movies until the tech breaks, then I guess it's off to eBay or something because I don't see why I'd ever want to see a movie in 2D if it's available in 3D. To me, it's just such a leap forward, SO much more immersive. I've been looking for a decent 3D-capable computer monitor. Too bad this doesn't seem to be it either. I don't want to get something with 3D-vision; 1) because proprietary and, as shown here, it's sensitive to Nvidia losing interest, 2) because I just don't like shutter glasses in general. I've never tried a pair that worked well for me. Polarized glasses work a lot better for me, better sense of continuity in the image. And also cheaper and easier to replace, of course.

[@danieldaniels7571]

Mikael Bergström I have a 3DTV and agree with you on watching 3D movies in 2D. I can’t imagine watching Avatar, Monsters U, Up, Sin City 2, Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse, Moana or Finding Dory flat.

[@thespearofthor9629]

I'd advice you to go get an extra 3d tv now while they're affordable. The more expensive models like the big LG passive ones, forget about it, they're gone before you see them and they're expensive. Prices will only go up as there are fewer and fewer displays left, even more so when the last 2020 3d monitors are gone as well.

[@krank23]

@@thespearofthor9629 Currently, I'm mostly thinking I'll replace my 3D TV with just watching 3D movies in VR when it finally gives up. I already watch a lot of movies on various services through Virtual Desktop on my Quest 2, and the cinema-like experience almost makes up for the not-quite-there-yet pixel density. Give it a few years and the resolution will be there, and in a virtual theater there's no reason each eye can't be shown a different image.

[@magicshow32]

Any idea of good replacement glasses for TV? Just picked one up and the glasses won’t charge.

[@PuzzoMolto]

You know of any reliable sellers for glasses for this display? I'm having a hard time finding any that work. I have two pairs of official glasses for it that won't charge at all.

[@piobu5357]

so how exactly is this better than a standard tv with 3d? can a normal tv only do 3d @ 30hz or something? Cause 3D split-screen with terrible viewing angles, and supported only by a few games, sure isn't a selling point. I've recently played trine 3 on my 55" LED Bravia via ps4 and it seemed to run fine @720p 60fps in stereoscopic 3D. It looked very nice, too.

[@HokeyBugle]

I've been using one of these as my primary monitor all these years! Great product. It was perfectly targeted at me at the time as a college student needing a monitor for both my PC and PS3. Lots of good times playing killzone 3 in simulview with the roommate.
