Is it worth the investment? If you have a small room and a friend, then “Yes.” The SimulView feature is amazingly clever and the screen renders 1080p content beautifully ... If this is supposed to be your primary screen, you’re going to be sorely disappointed.

The Sony PlayStation 3D Display's SimulView gaming experience is unique and fun, but limited connectivity, the lack of a remote, and a high price for a small screen size make it a bit of a niche purchase.

While it does have the impressive ability of simultaneously sending two video sources at once, overall the Sony PlayStation 3D display is an expensive and small device that really doesn't fit in any practical environment.

With or without SimulView, at $499 the PlayStation 3D Display is still a value. It’s small, but it has great picture quality and features, as well as plenty of bonuses packed in. If you’re on a budget and need a compact HDTV, check it out.

Sony has managed to make a $500, 24-inch display appealing by including some useful accessories, integrating 3D and offering the rather innovative SimulView feature.
