Sorry, it's wrong to think that a TV is already 3D compliant just because of his 200hz technologie !

The 3D rendering isn't just a question of refresh rate, and over the top, know that the TV MUST be able to translate 2 images sent in the same video flow and show it properly. It's a HDMI concern and if the manufacturers talks about a new 1.4 version, it's also for this reason. Yes, a 3D compliant TV must be equiped with the HDMI 1.4.

The PS3 will be able to generate the 3D video flow only after an upgrade. With this example, we can easy expect that the TV manufacturers can do the same with their products. But in fact, it's closely impossible, just because only a few of TV can have their firmware upgraded, and even less can be connected to the internet to give the opportunity of an "free" upgrade for the customers... And sadly for us, it's much more interessant for the manufacturer to sell a new TV model in place of purpose an software upgrade, free or not, for a "old" product...

But even with his upgrade, the PS3 HDMI 1.3 keep an limitation, but not very annoying, it's just limit the 3D rendering at 720P. That really not a problem for gamers like us, just because at the first point, the hardware isn't enough powerful to render a games with a smooth animation at 1080P in 3D !

For this reasons, my advise is to not buy a new TV, even in 200hz, 600 etc... And wait for products labelised 3DReady with HDMI 1.4 !

Jojo51, GOOD POINT!!! I think let´s wait for products arrive with correct specifications... My LCD has 3 years... I will wait more 2 or 3 years before buying a new one..

@ Jojo51 )

yes, but that is not all..

the 3D technology the corps are trying to push now is with shutter-glasses and these glasses have to be synchronized with the TV sets ..
a TV that has no port to synchronize with a shutter-glass (it's usually done via infra-red) won't work as a 3D TV

Well I'm just glad I don't have a family to provide for... *Girlfriend looks angry to me...screams: what? get your own glasses! I'm only paying for my own, they are expensive! *

Uh heh. I saw a 3D TV in Korea last summer and you didn't need glasses for that. If you moved slightly to the left or right the image would change a little bit but it is probably preferable to watching your TV in insufferable emo glasses.

Oh, and that TV I mentioned wasn't even at a high tech conference or anything. It was a display at an animation festival.

Will this work on my 14" portable?

In all seriousness Sony will never learn, putting out a device that will only work on a minority of households is completely stupid. They never learn, they are obsessed with technical advances whilst in the real world 90% of people don't even know what 120hz etc means when it come to a TV. Learn from Nintendo Sony.

there's no way they are limiting this to TV's over 200HZ, if that is actually true then they shouldn't bother to release it.

Uhm i dont know, how do i found out?.

I'm sure this factor in particular will put people off.
