Sigh @ Selnor.

You do realise that the PS3 will be able to display 3D on glasses-less TVs too, right?


May not actually be true. Chances are, it won't be true.

The tech are different, in that, even the 3DTV from different companies requires different 3D glasses to work properly.

There was a piece of news some weeks ago that you could wear the 3D glasses upside down to make it work with another company's 3DTV. Don't remember which ones though. Probably Samsung and LG.


No, they are different but compatible with regard to contents. Stereoscopic 3D contents are the same and players of any kind work in the same way with the two kinds of display, they send for each temporal frame two 2D projections of the scene, the difference is handled by the display electronics, if it uses glasses, it alternates left and right projection through time piloting shutter glasses accordingly, if it's glasses-free, it just interleaves the columns of the two projections at the same time. Obviously 3D screens with glasses requires higher refresh rates to offer a flicker-free vision, but they use completely their horizontal resolution, while in current glasses-free screens it's halved.
