Sony loves 3D, and with good reason: it’s a selling point for the PlayStation 3 console, which offers a much broader library of 3D-ready games than the Xbox 360. And, of course, Sony likes selling 3DTVs. To spur 3D adoption among gamers, Sony unveiled a $500 TV bundle at its E3 press event on Monday with a cool 3D twist.
In addition to outputting two images to create a 3D whole, the TV can isolate two different game streams and give a pair of split-screen players the entire 24” display.
Sony’s 24” 1080p LCD comes with a single pair of 3D glasses, an HDMI cable, and a copy of Resistance 3 for $500. Extra glasses cost $70. The active shutter glasses can give you the typical 3D treatment by rendering separate images for each eye. The glasses filter out the separate images and help your brain process them into a 3D whole. But there’s also another option we’ve seen before in a technology Vizio calls Versus.
Versus requires a pair of 3D glasses like most other 3D displays. Separate images are sent to each pair of glasses and the opposing images are filtered out; you lose the 3D effect of two combined video frames but gain the ability to see an entirely different image than the person sitting by your side. Unfortunately, there are a couple disadvantages: this technology has to be supported by software. It’s a simple addition to stereoscopic 3D support and Vizio is supposedly working with Ubisoft and EA to support Versus, but out of the box it won't just work with every 3D game.
The second disadvantage goes back to that pair of frames that are normally combined to create a 3D image. When you’re sharing the display, you only get one of those. Joystiq reported a very noticeable quality drop with a single 540p frame, which makes sense--you're getting half as much visual data.
Sony isn’t talking what games will support 3D screen sharing, but the display will still be able to handle plain ol’ 3D as well. The display probably won’t be convincing anyone to adopt 3D, but at least it offers a pretty affordable entry point for gamers looking for a small 3DRTV.
