When it breaks it can still be used as a mirror.

I forgot all about the huge push for 3d tvs and 3d gaming in the early 2010s lol

I played Uncharted 3 entirely on 3D when it came out. It was one of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had. It's just unbelievable the way people ignored and even got angry at this attempt on 3D gaming. We should have had more of these. PS: Enslaved was also great!

Man I always wanted this display.

I still have my ps 3d tv. as a side note, it basically looks like a giant psp go. i also have a 2015 sony bravia 3d tv. i still love 3d gaming!

I loved the 3d era in the early 2010's some people considered it very gimmicky but I find it fascinating

Thanks for time traveling from the early 90s to review this for us.

This guy definitely watches Wayne's world. I hope

The only reason that TV caught my attention (back when shopping at Best Buy was a thing) is the split screen feature where each person gets a full screen

this format is good, when you have the time I'd prefer this method...although the non-scripted versions are fine as well....maybe a reasonable mix of both that suits your schedule.

Great video, thank you! I watched it from my Playstation 3D Display that I've used as my primary computer monitor for nearly a decade! I had no idea about the more modern hacks to give fun 3D support to games, I'll definitely be trying them out.

Absolutely loved this display! I used it with my PS3 and desktop and it worked perfectly. I always thought it looked amazing but that’s just me. Playing sonic generations was always fun.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 also has this Simulview feature

I like how the display looks like a big PSP Go, would like to see how PSP games through component would look on this, and man I remember back when 3D like this was "The Future™". Glad to know this exists.

I’ve had mine since the first day they came out. Still looks awesome and works flawlessly. 3D and all!

I saw one of these at a thrift store. I'd never heard of it prior! I was very tempted to buy it just because it was an oddity. I'm glad you bought one and shared your experiences!

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.

Man I always wanted one of these

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.

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.

new format is WAY better. please keep going with this! you've found something great here!!

I’ve been interested in knowing what this TV was all about ever since it was released. Thanks for the highly informative, well researched and well presented video. Subbed!

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!

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 always ignored these because of the failing pic chip but that kind of repair is cake these days. Thank for reminding me.

I had this tv. It’s image quality and build quality was and still is fantastic!!🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️

I stumbled upon this video and it was the best and most throughout description of the PS 3D display. Loved it.

This video is great! I hope the new thumbnail helps more people see it, because it's very well scripted, presented, and edited :)

One of the few sony tvs that had a ‘psp’ mode that zoomed the psp game picture. Wtf sony. Came out at the end of the psp life.

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

I was happy to see a video made about this display, ive had mine running since they released and have had 0 issues with it what so ever, i constantly hear about how unreliable they are, but i must of gotten lucky, mine has been turned on 24/7/365 since 2011 and been used as a computer monitor, text scrolling doesnt have an issue like you were showing in your video, and ive not had a ghosting issue either. ive wanted to get another one but now they are quite expensive since they are so rare. the only issue i have with mine, is the fact you cant shut off the 5 second auto turn off when input is gone, and the buttons are behind the screen. 8 years this thing has been turned on non stop and active, and its still going strong!

Can't say I've ever heard of this thing until today. Interesting.

I remember trying SimulView at a GameStop and it blew my mind. I hoped it would gain popularity with couch co-op games but sadly that never happened. It solved screen cheating and gave both players the full screen.

first video I have ever seen of yours ! and wow new sub here , love the presentation of content!

bruh, that compaq hat oh my god

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

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.

Bought a refinished one of these years ago. Love that it has an option to scale component input for psp.

Great video, very well made, researched, and informative, as well as personal and interesting!

This is the display I'm using now, and have been using it for many years. Great display but one issue, random hdmi blackouts that last 1-6 seconds.

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.

Nice review! I was gonna get one when th ey had stock, but the reviews kept saying they'd die out in a couple of months of use and no more warranty. Lots of people complained the screen died, but was great when it worked.

I wanted one of those for so long, now that I see this video, I'm glad I never got one.

It's been 2 years since this video and VR has had a little more time to evolve. Would be interesting to get your thoughts on the soon to be released PSVR2 if and when you ever get to try it , it's supposedly has fixed a lot of the vr issues that made you physically sick

I bought 2 of these on clearance years ago and been using both of them as tv monitors via satellite or optic tv box. The one in the kitchen gets the most use and I love the instant on display and the image quality and colors are fantastic.

I purchased two of these from Best Buy on clearance years ago. One has worked like a charm while the other had the eprom defect. Bought a new Eprom kit on ebay this past year for $15 already programmed, had a shop install it for me (didn't have a hot air station at the time) and works like new. Love these monitors. Now if I could only find replacement batteries for the 3d glasses....

Wayne's World cosplayer right there Good video, mate

Bought one of these on sale 5+ years ago, never used the 3D or understood the capabilities, since moving out my parents continue to use this daily asa computer monitor lol

I do have, I think its amazing, nowadays I use on my desktop PC. But have a great years that used the 3D when it was new! Great review man!

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

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

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

I have this thing. Thank you! this video has been awesome, although i wish you would elaborate a bit more on the last statement you made. Yes, very questionable build quality, and mine is my main pc monitor for years now. but i've never gotten around to fully killing it and replacing it. i just love what it's capable of doing. i still remember playing the rebooted tomb raider and Bioshock 1 on this thing, haha. what wonderful experiences. really wish i could get another one for cheap, hopefully, but i dont know. we'll see. thank you for this video. awesome to know i'm not the only one.

The Depth-map reprojection Technique used by reshade is also avaliable in the 3D drivers : Tridef : Power 3D mode (switchable in the overlay menus once inside a game) Tridef was the first driver to propose this feature. Nvidia 3D Vision : the technique is called "compatibility mode" (it's an advanced function for people who like to tweak)

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

I bought it at launch Still working in Nov.2019 55ms rt

I thought I knew every interesting UKpostsr that talks about retro stuff, but here we are, super interesting video subscribed!

I bought one on the day it came out, and used it until March of this year. It's a fantastic display for both PC and consoles.

The scrolling blur you showed with text when connected to the PC is pretty common on VA displays, specially the cheaper panels. Not sure the quality of panel used but it is a VA display. Nice technology but it has draw backs. Rather VA than TN.

I really wanted one when they came out, because I thought any game would let you use split screen privately.

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.

New to this channel. Great format and you didn't repeat yourself. Imma hit dat subscribe button now.

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.

now someone needs to do this exact thing in 2019 with 1440p and 120 hz we have the tech

I have two of these and still use them every now and then! This is great.

Great video!!! I never knew about your channel and haven’t seen anyone review this before

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.

It actually has a hidden usb on the side of the monitor under a clip you have to pull out

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.

I've got one next to me right now, I was going to put it in storage, I used it as my main monitor for about a year but as you said it's not very good at that job. Great colours though. I had no idea it could be used with the software you showed, it's going back in use now. Thanks a million, I'm going to have some fun experimenting. I will say the speakers on this thing (or maybe the soundcard, has always been kinda broken, and sometimes it ouputs crackling horrible sound, so it's basically a monitor without speakers for me. Also the most annoying thing about it is that it automatically turns off after a very very short time if it doesn't sense any imputs, so you don't get much time to fiddle about, and it also doesn't auto detect inputs so you better change to the right one quickly. On the plus side you can use most any old Sony tv or dvd remote with it, I've tried four different ones so far and they all work. If you pick up one of these I highly recommend getting one, it wil make your experience a lot more convenient and enjoyable as the buttons are on the back and that can be quite annoying in combination with the quick auto shut off.

Playstation 3D Display: Better in 2019 than 2011, but most of them died by 2015. I know mine did.

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.

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.

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

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

Looks like an oversized Xperia Play lol Great video thank you

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.

Man, the bit about PC 3D brings me a lot of memories! I remember trying the anaglyph solution with iZ3D back in the day, then later using Tridef with my plasma samsung TV and shutter glasses. However after the Rift DK2 I just didn't think 3D with glasses was worth it.

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!

This video was EXCELLENT my guy. Absolutely some great work with great commentary. I fully enjoyed the whole adventure. Looking forward to your next deep dive. Well done sir. Incredible well done.

I have that tv with the ps2 built in. I literally use it as my pc monitor atm lol

I was lucky to get this bundled with 2 pairs of glasses. The 3D is fantastic on this device. I've used it on my PS3, X360, and my PC. Which, using Tridef to play something like Ghostbusters and Skyrim is suuuuuuper awesome. I'm just sad that everyone gave up on 3D... really hope the 3DS style screens get larger and we see it come back.

Great, informative video. I really enjoyed it and didn't expect all that was discussed. Kudos!

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

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

I bought one of these at best buy many years ago when they clearanced them out on black friday for $99. I use it as secondary PC monitor to this day. Like in the video, its not a great monitor but its good enough for just playing a video full screen on it, such as streaming my dish tv, twitch or a youtube video.

There's also helix mod, which brings 3D on lots of games. It does it with two rendered perspectives, which is pretty demanding, but the result it's awesome. I've tried it on some games through a simple cardboard and moonlight gamestream and it's awesome, with a proper tv it surely can look gorgeous

You can tell this bloke is a nerd with love for retros Just like me 💀

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

I’ve found the best way to watch 3d at home is a projector... I use an optima ultra short throw and it’s stunning.. no ghosting... and great depth.. Nick

at 4:00 I dont think it lowers the resolution of the video. The way 3d worked on those displays is that it would take half of the image and display it in a way that only one side would see and display the other half so only the other eye could see. This gave you the effect of depth perception and is why when you look through one lens you only see 720p thats because it is half of 1080p.

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?

I miss my HTC 3D phone, it was the coolest.

Reshade info is great to know. You are my hero.

Very thorough research youve done here, thx my guy

omg I thought I saw Waynes World Flash before me

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?

ive had this tv for about 6 years now. It still works great. And it does work for TV now that HDMI connect is available. I have 2 Glasses and also use it as a 3rd monitor for my pc

I love the Compaq hat, and this is a great channel. The UKposts algorithm did something right.
