Damn it if I haven't bought so much Sony stuff recently and I'm loving it. Here it is:
I have a PlayStation 3D Display. Excellent monitor. 24", does active 3D, 2 HDMI outs. I have a PS3 hooked up to it, play it at a desk in a computer chair. Like PC gaming again. Any PC gamer should opt for it as it is super cheap right now ($100-$179), if you have a PS3 even better considering 3D games available. The PlayStation glasses, while a little tight and not enough light blinders, are big enough to cover your vision and have simulview technology. Simulview is okay on a 24", if on a bigger TV, really nice for local multiplayer. Will buy a tower with HDMI out.

I was considering buying one of these after seeing the price had fallen to $99 but the bad word of mouth about them is making me weary (flickering and other issues). I've also heard it doesn't come with a remote which seems pretty strange considering they're selling it as a TV and that most of the controls are in the back, is that true?
Here is the thread I looked at which basically made me have second thoughts:

"Being $100 doesn't fix the terrible glare and the random flashes of a blank/black screen. It should have been recalled because there is something wrong with the hardware"
"For 99 it might be worth just to try and see if you get a working one. But it's definitely not a quality product from what everyone's been writing. Worst case you return it. No harm. "
"I have purchased this thing once during last boxing day when it was $249.99 and again during Black Friday when it was $149.99. I tried the unit and returned it both times. For $100, it's a pretty good deal as long as it works. I am not getting it a third time."

I was really worried about that too. Products don't just drop crazy in price for no reason right? Plenty of faulty reports but no recalls. Perhaps it was first batch? Perhaps it was user error? (bad HDMI cords, radio wave interference, mishandeling) Perhpas too many Sony haters at the moment? Maybe I just got lucky?
Mine is in great shape, while I admit I saw two flickers back to back randomly one day while starting a game, it might have been from my cell phone being right next to it. The thing is not a TV and does not have a remote, the buttons are on the bottom right just behind the edge. There aren't many options so you won't need to adjust them often, maybe volume because of audio level changes from different medias.It comes with Motorstorm apocolypse and one pair of glasses. If you need another pair, get the Playstation 3D glasses or find some other active 3D glasses that use simulview or you won't be able to use that feature.
If you get it, keep the receipt handy. The warranty is for a year too I believe and most instances happened in a couple months. For a 3D PS3 and computer monitor, it is almost worth the original price and now a total steal.
