So far most of my customers enjoyed this product. It's only a good fit for a small room size environment, since 24" is still relatively small. However, it's the lowest priced a 3D capable device :smileyhappy:

Re: Price drop on the PlayStation 3D Gaming Monitor!

I understand that this is a Playstation branded device. Have you guys heard of anything about whether it works with the Xbox 360, and if it does, can you make use of the 3D capabilities on games that have 3D built-in (like Gears of War 3)?

I don't know about the Xbox in particular, but I know many PC gamers use it and the 3D works fine there, so I assume the same would apply to the Xbox. There's no proprietary 3D for the Playstation that I'm aware of.

Re: Price drop on the PlayStation 3D Gaming Monitor!

I figure as much. I just wanted to ask because of a incompaitbility issue with the PS3 branded HDMI cable and the Xbox 360. I bought one of those when we got the Gears 3 console as it was the cheapest HDMI cable I could find at the time, and it would not work when I plugged that cable into the HDMI port on the 360. At first I thought it was broken, but when I used a different HDMI cable, it worked fine, and the PS3 one would wrk fine with anything else except the 360.

Re: Price drop on the PlayStation 3D Gaming Monitor!

That is really odd, regarding the behaviour of the Sony HDMI cable.  That is the first I have heard of that, but Microsoft is funny that way sometimes.  HDMI should be industry standard.  If you can't plug an industry standard cable into the XBOX, then it is not compatible.

 

Thanks for the feedback.  I'm tempted to try this PS 3D monitor out due to the price, but think I would definitely enjoy a bigger screen (like LG's 47" or 55") better.

Re: Price drop on the PlayStation 3D Gaming Monitor!

Again, I absolutely can plug an industry standard HDMI cable into the Xbox. Every single other HDMI cable I have works with my Xbox EXCEPT the Playstation branded one. I thought it was odd, too.

Re: Price drop on the PlayStation 3D Gaming Monitor!

I have it, it's awesome, also 3D on the 360 works as well (I tried out Gears of War 3 and Crysis 2) and it looks amazing! I'm using a square enix HDMI cable and it works fine, don't know why any other wouldn't.
