Reviews

I also just bought this TV to have a local Frys for $799 with two pairs of glasses. I also noticed the same problem with glasses every 10 minutes. Very annoying when you play an online game (Killzone 3). Hope there is a way to change the situation. It also seems that 3D is a bit '"slow and seems to do a little'" confused, but it is probably only the match. They have tried many many more 3D media. When 3D is activated there is a note that opens says it is better to be 2 meters away from the TV for optimal viewing. So quietly sitting relatively close to the TV when using 3D.

2D to 3D is an amazing feature. Did not even know that was an option until I connected. Watched a movie for about 2 minutes and it was pretty cool. Connected my laptop with a VGA cable and played some videos on it without problems. I have a pair of stereoscopic animated shorts, I played on the laptop and worked great. I'm not sure if its a standard feature or not, but you can watch the normal means of communication such as 3D stereoscopic 3D BluRay side to side or up and relief, and of course 2D to 3D. Its a really great TV.

Another thing that kind of bothers me is that there is no headphone jack for audio. Small annoyance though. I really have a lot of research of different skills and Statistics of 3D television, I just found a great price and received, and I have no regrets so far.
