if your watchin the screen from 20 meters away it will be a very small viewing no matter the size.

[SonyHowTo]

@djdiligence Not at all - 20 meters is really not that far away at all - it's actually the optimum distance for movie watching in cinemas - next time you're at the flicks - measure the distance from the screen and see where you end up sitting ;-) Enjoy! :-)

We have to be nice to the other kids on the block too - and besides, we can't punish them for buying something other than a PS3 ;-)

may i ask if i plug this into my PC how do i get 3D gaming works??? just by plugging this in and the glasses have an option to turn the game 3D???

[SonyHowTo]

@darnops Unfortunately it's not that simple. In order to play 3D games, you must have a 3D compatible DVD player (or 3D output device). This sends the 3D signal to the 3D headset, that then plays the games (or movies) in 3D. If you do not have a 3D computer, DVD or games console, then the headset will only play the content in 2D (as you would normally see it). Bravia TV's have the "Simulated 3D" option - which turns 2D into 3D - the headset does not support that feature.

[SonyHowTo]

@tapiocco Well - it certainly 'super-sizes' everything..!

[s8ntmark]

Besides being 3D and 5.1 surround, is it also a 360 degree view? Especially for FPSs?

[markozutic361]
