So I laughed at this when I first saw the announcement and here I am owning one a few months later. This Boxing Week $299.99 is the perfect price for anyone slightly tempted.

In the box you get the screen+stand, one pair of rechargable glasses (separately $69.99, with a very short micro USB charging cable) and a copy of Motorstorm Apocalypse (regular price $59.99).

The unit has 2 HDMI inputs, 1 component input and one headphone jack. The HDMI sockets seem very sensitive and regularly lose the signal from my PS3 if I even brush my hand past them. This is annoying as the only way to change the volume of the set is to use the buttons located just below the inputs on the back.

Lack of remote volume control and sensitive inputs are my only gripes about an otherwise impressive 3D display. 24" 1080p TVs are not exactly many in number or variety and the perfect size for those with space issues.

The picture quality is very good in deed and the 3D works a treat, I just wish I didn't have to wear another pair of glasses to make it work!

I purchased this tv because I seen it showcased at E3 2011. I needed to have it. It's affordable, beautiful design, 1080p, 240Hz. It's simply amazing. The 3D works like a charm. Perfect for gamers like me who play better on a smaller display. One thing that I thought was weird was the it didn't come with a remote. But I guess it teaches us to get off our butts!

I'd like to note that I didn't buy this on Amazon, but off of the Futureshop website.

At the time I bought it for $500 CND and it was completely worth it! The picture looks amazing with a LED screen that has full HD (1080p) capabilities. The 3D looks stunning and works really well. The dual full screen for split screen gaming (simulview) is probably the best feature of the TV. Although you can't use simulview in 3D, it works really well for avid gamers who all know that using split screen makes it hard to see what you're doing. The only problem I found was that there is no remote. I'm not sure how anyone could think a TV without a remote is a good idea, but apparently someone did and thus we are left with a great TV minus a remote. I know that a lot of people will be using this TV in a smaller room and therefore will most likely be close to it while using it, but still it would be nice to have a remote. With that said, I do not think that the remote issue is big enough to pass over this great product. Even when it was $500 dollars it was a steal for 3D technology and the newly invented simulview, so now that it's even cheaper, there is no reason not to buy it. If you wish to own a 3DTV but do not have tons of money to spend BUY THIS TV. It will become your new favourite electronic.

Another thing that I think is important is the glasses. In order to use the simulview you will need two pairs, one for each person. The TV only comes with one pair, but the glasses are around $40 on their own. Usually 3D glasses can go for 100s of dollars, so you won't be going broke after buying the TV and another set of glasses.

In order to use the TV to game in 3D you will need a HDMI cord that supports 3D. You can find one on Amazon for less than a dollar. Try to get the longest one you can find because although you might not need it now, you may need the extra length if you ever want to move the TV.

Overall you should be able to get everything you need for about $501 + tax + shipping and handling. Also, if you already have a PS3 and want to use it to play 3D games, all you need to do is update the firmware. There is no need to get a new PS3 because they are all capable as long as the firmware is up to date. To do this turn on the PS3 where you will see the menu screen of your PS3. Go to the second icon from the left and chose update PS3. Finish that and you'll be ready to go!

I hope I helped. Overall, the TV is perfect if you are interested in 3D technology and it won't bankrupt you.

Enjoy!

At $99 on boxing day you cant get a better deal than this. A great 3d display for my PS3 and my PC. The 3D is great especially when playing splitscreen with games that support simulview.

The Sony 3D display came fast and on time. I was impressed with how clear and crisp the picture is. I love the 3D and I had Not liked avatar game on ps3 but in 3d I am enjoying the game. I will be buying more 3d games to play on this display. Small but perfect for my room.
