Sony introduces PlayStation-brand 3D monitor and 3D glasses

Sony PS3 has always been able to support 3D, but it was never fully utilized because many gamers don't see the relevant of getting a 3D monitor just to play games with 3D when the usual HDTV can work nicely. What's more there's the need for a 3D glass. But now there's good news. Sony's Jack Tretton has just announced that PS3 gamers can get into the 3D game for much less this fall when the company launches a 24-inch monitor and active shutter LCD glasses under the PlayStation brand.

$499 gets the monitor, a pair of glasses, an HDMI cable and a copy of Resistance, while additional pairs of glasses — which are compatible with TVs from other manufacturers and can be used to give two split-screen gamers their own full screen view — are $69. That's a competitive package to be sure, but many will likely still need to be convinced slipping on the specs is worthwhile, and competitors like Vizio are slipping passive 3D glasses TVs in with similar price points and similar features.

The 3D monitor is a 1080p edge LED lit LCD with two HDMI inputs, stereo speakers, an integrated subwoofer and claims to be the first display at this size with “quad speed frame sequential display technology”. The glasses charge via USB and will be available at the same time as the screen this fall.
