[@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).

[@sasailic3006]

3d movies in theaters always did strong. Usually at a ratio of 60% regular screening 40% 3d screening. It's just that only high end tvs had 3d while budget tvs nixed it to cut costs. If only it was a standard to be included, the way that every tv now is a smart tv. Also cost of 3d blurays was usually $30 because it included bluray, DVD, and digital as well. But it is nice having them all. DVDs however really not needed. Even so digital retailers like VUDU, apple, sony, google should have had rentable 3d versions. While I only know of VUDU selling 3d movies digitally and it unfortunately did not include the regular HD version which was sold separately...both at a high price. Normally if you rent a 4k movie now or buy one, you get HD and SD. Essentially every tier below. Games were great. I played Uncharted 3 and it gave it so much depth. It was like looking through a window. Even in movies. I dont care for pop put effects. Some are nifty and magical. But depth to me was the best part of 3d.

[@EpicLPer]

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.

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.

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.

The design of the tv reminds me of a big sonyericsson Experia!!!

[@CheeperVHS]

Currently watching on my PS 3D display, found this guy at a pawn shop here in canada and picked it up immeediately, always wanted one of these guys. It has some issues but hopefully ill be able to repair it. Im a big fan of the ps3, have a huge collection, so this is a perfect addition too my collection :) i do agree that building the Playstation eye into the screen wouldve been incredible!!!

[@thegreatjonzini]

This was great more of this style video would be wonderful.

[@sybergoosejr]

I just wanted to point out 240 hz is correct and used in 3D. It is only used as an anti flicker vs 120hz 3D. The glasses can do both. 240 is also used in the simul view mode.

[@sybergoosejr]

I daily drived this monitor until just a couple years ago for a 4K screen

[@Smexay]

At 2:09 is you down to the “PC” section, those options allow you to set it to 240hz lol

[@uabum]

Smexay what?

[@haxzaw8550]

I can't put into words how much I admire this review with all the blows and whistles, besides interesting facts that I would have asked myself if not mentioned. Luckily I own a 3D 4K TV by Panasonic that is very capable of HDR from 2016 that looks and works like a charm (Firefox OS) and I still use my phone to navigate KZbin from it. Definitely the PS3/360 era is a keeper and I wish that younger generations find some way to experience it themselves.

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”.

[@LobotomyDC]

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.

[@ofoosy]

My friend got one of these for $100 at best buy back when these got sold heavily discounted. I really missed out picking one of these up. I remember telling him why the hell would you get it besides the multiplayer gimmick! He still uses it to this day as a normal monitor. never taking use of the 3d. ill have to tell him about the rom issue. I've loved finding your channel! Hope to see more from you in the future.

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.

[@internziko]

Just found your channel. This was an excellent video. I wouldn't jave known this was your 1st scripted video if you hadn't mentioned it. Subbed

[@Lilithe]

I have a 50" 1080P LG TV in my livingroom that does 3D and we scarcely use it. If I had a PS3 monitor I might use it more. VR actually doesn't make my partner sick but she can't look at the 3D TV for long.

[@AtomTheReactive]

I bought one of these many years ago brand new from Futureshop (Best Buy) for $150 either on sale or clearance, I still have it and it still works to this day.

[@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.

[@Eta_Hoyimi]

It's crazy that we went from virtual boy, to this to modern day VR; being able to chill in so many different digital environments, play golf, chess, etc with folks has been a crazy experience for someone that ended up chronically ill in recent years.

[@estripp420]

3d is not smoke and mirrors, its sunglasses and mirrors

[@Oliverr1983]

I bought one of these back around 2012 for $200 bucks. Best Buy had them on clearance, I'm assume to get rid of the rest. A couple weeks later they dropped to $180. I remember because my dad went to get one for my brother for Christmas and they were sold out everywhere. I used it as a monitor for my computer and PS3. Now it's on the wall in my garage with a Chromecast hooked up to it. It still works great and I still have the 3D glasses and all.

[@kevinsuarezmacena1003]

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

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

[@jcchaconjr]

I have to admit, if you skip the nitpicking, the 3D effect is pretty cool. Aside from Apocalypse and Tekken Hybrid (which was also a personal 3D favorite), watching CGI animated 3D movies is a treat. You can somewhat defeat the darkness by using the monitor in the dark, but yeah, it still has a long list of gripes. Don’t forget the fact that the batteries in the glasses WILL PUFF if you don’t regularly charge them.
