It is like comparing a Ferarri to a Honda.  Of course one of the options is much better, but you pay premium for it. 

 

At the end of the day, for $500, a few games a sub (is this REALLY necessary?)  to get a 24' 3D splitscreen for local MP is not bad.  I have seen a good bit on the ghosting issues as well, and they are getting better.  To expect them to go away completely is silly, but the ghosting might not be enough to keep people away from the Value of the deal. 

It comes down to $500 for 2 games, split (inferior to some, different to most) 3D MP screen + 2 glasses vs. $500 For a superior display that wont do the split screen. 

It is all about personal preference.  Im very excited about the potential for 1 screen split MP 3D, but they have a way to go before I plunge in.  Im still waiting for my 2xDLP Theater passive projectors.

Viewsonic one comes with 3d vision glasses for PC and receiver for 500 which is 150 bucks on its own. I see both products being sub 400 withn 3 months. No really "Ferrari" like premium if you ask me...

I guess if one is 100% set on console gaming, and wants to give 3D a go on consoles and has a sibling which they play games with together on a regular basis, and limited space...the Sony one may be a viable option. I'd like to try it and see what this full screen split screen looks like, but being used to DLP 3D, I find 1500 dollar LCDs dissapointing in 3D...so my expectations for a 24 inch 4 ms repsonse time pannel are pretty low.

Does anyone know if this Sony TV supports side to side, top/bottom 3D? If not, and it only does frame packing, people who want to watch comcast 3D cable or play 360 3D are screwed...

And 2XDLP 3D is something we are both waiting for. I personally want a single unit with 2 polarised lenses doing full 1080p 3D. Don't want to bother with 2 projectors... Sadly I don't think we will see this for a few years. There are a few interesting 3D projectors coming along...Panasonic has the AE7000 coming out which is the first LCD 3D projector. And Optoma has an high end HDMI 1.4 compatible projector which is coming in at 1500 bucks. Not bad...

The honda to ferrari comment was to your original "I can do it on my Samsung LED DLP using this adapter and 2 xbox 360s or PS3s consoles."  Thats beyond the scope of this (tho I will admit to looking it up after reading that :)

After comparing a DLP theater and a Non DLP 3D theater, the difference is just plain amazing (its the same for 2D movies as well).  I cannot wait for the 2xDLP 3D projectors...if they ever come.  It is a shame how DLP is almost overshadowed by the underwhelming Plasma/LCD/LED displays (and I will soon add OLED to this).

I am hoping this Sony "Display" is only the first of many revisions because the potential here is amazing.
