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.

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.

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.

Also that Compaq hat is delightful!

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.

I picked one of these up last month, and I love it! Of course, I had to buy batteries to fix the glasses I had from the Sony 3D TV I had which died 3 years ago, but it was worth it. The effect on some games is awesome, but none more than Zen Pinball 2 so far. The tables have amazing depth! Gonna have to get that eeprom though, just in case.

I love your hat! Thanks for an awesome video. I'm getting the display today and about to order an Nvidia 3D Vision 2 set as well. I know it's been a couple of years but any recommendations for other hardware to go with this? I have computers and consoles aside from the 2 current gen systems so I am mostly ok there.

I just bought a 32 inch passive 3D tv a bush tv from 2012! It’s really bright and works pretty well! I play halo CE anniversary and I realised they made this game for 3D as it the anniversary graphic in 2d has issues like sniping behind the cover issues and also it to bright. With 3D enabled these problems are gone! It’s so much better to play in 3D mode, i’m not surprised everybody thought is going to be the next big thing and I’m still thinking why didn’t make it! I love it!

Im the guy that kept the 3D of the 3DS on most of the time so i guess this thing is for me

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.

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.

It's capacitor issues on the main board we have to replace them, they are so cheap they don't pop (like most caps do when going bad) but leak slowly and sometimes go bad without visible signs of going out. So yeah get a bright flashlight and really look around for yellowish/clear residues at or around the caps.

hamasaki kenji absolutely right about the flickering and then just going black and dying out. I was lucky enough to to have them repair mine for me and get it back. It still works fine but flickers sometimes which is fixed by reinserting the hdmi

There is an IC chip that easily fails. It can be fixed if you know how to solder it

This thing has always made me wonder, would it be possible to make a TV with a parallax filter (like the 3DS uses) to completely eliminate the need for glasses? Or is a TV just too big for the effect to work?

Great review.... Let me know if you figure out a way to replace the onboard battery. I got 2 of these displays and 6 pairs of glasses that doesn't last longer than 20-30 mins each).

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?

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.

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”.

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

@@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.

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.

@AkBkukU what does that chip fix? as I have one of these Monitors.

This technology has seen so little innovation, it must be extremely hard to accomplish I guess.

TV and monitor companies have nothing to do with VR and are not focusing on that. It's simply hard to sell something that requires you to wear glasses to use (such as this video demos) or something where you have to watch from dead center (3DS method). Plus at that time there was some major 3D movie fatigue, every other movie was coming out in 3D. Movies made the tech feel gimmicky which is a shame because I think it shines best in games.

First time on this channel, and i am so glad to see otto got his life together, does he still drive bus as his main gig though?

Ive been using this as my main computer monitor since it came out and still works completely fine

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

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

Warning, wall of text incoming because I have to thank you: 7:50 Thank you for going over this 1 very detail, because I have looked EVERYWHERE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ALLEVIATE THIS. It is the ONLY complaint I have with this monitor. The last thing I had was an oldschool television by Curtis Mathes. You know, big equipment covered by a large frame and that glorious SD screen that was bright, but anything you watched on it was very vibrant and did NOT have this very issue I have with the Sony display. I don't know how the older TVs used to work, but when I asked my cousin about this little thing here, he explained to me that this has to do with the PANEL. He asked whether it was a TN panel or IPS panel display. Obviously if I know anything about that, then the monitor is most definitely not an IPS class monitor and definitely not OLED, because from what I understand and have noticed, is that this little annoyance does not happen on those displays. Mostly. However, he did end up getting an IPS monitor from ViewSonic around the time I asked him about this. Mother of Croatia did I really see what not having this issue was like. Same amazing colors, better viewing angles, but most importantly, it DID NOT have this strange motion blur effect when he played games. Now I have played games that make this almost not apparent at all, BattleField Bad Company 2 is the first to come to mind and I once watched my sister play Fortnite on it. As you've probably noticed, when the images on the screen are still, the picture quality stands up very well to other monitors and Televisions, I've compared it to those of the family. But ONLY when any information on the screen is in motion will that blur effect happen and I always have to 'get into it' when I'm gaming or watching a movie in order for me to not notice it as much. So yeah. Even to this day, the picture quality of this Display still holds up. It's beautiful, I will always feel this way. The problem is this little annoyance. If the display did not have this issue, I would recommend it to anyone. Like you, I would not recommend this to people who rely on their PCs for everything, especially gaming, unless PC gaming is able to lessen the blow due to better frame rates and visual quality, although I wouldn't know. I still don't have a gaming RIG. I would also not recommend it to anyone who is used to OLED televisions. You'll love the picture quality but then start noticing that something is 'off' when you watch stuff on it. And anyway, it's more for gaming as was the intention. You're supposed to sit very close to it. I think that's the last of my gripes, in which case, thank you again. KZread got it right for once and recommended me a video that ACTUALLY interests me. This is my first time to your channel and I appreciate what you've done here. I'll pay my dues by subscribing, hitting that like button and clicking the notification bell. If you end up finding a way to workaround this issue, I'd really like hearing about it.

Does ReShade do anaglyph 3D? Not too experienced with 3D, and playing my favorite PC games with a cheap 3D solution might convince me to invest more in the feature.

This was my monitor for years! It had some occasional issues but overall loved the thing

Looks like an oversized Xperia Play lol Great video thank you

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.

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.

@@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.

Very thorough research youve done here, thx my guy

can you use reshade to play standard pc games in 3d with a rift or quest?
