Abstract: With millions of dollars you might be able to squeeze a 62-foot screen into your mansion's basement, but that certainly won't negate the logistical issues. Do you realize just how big 62-feet is? Think medium sized sail boat and suddenly you'll realize ho...

It's fun! Whether it's for gaming or movies, the Sony HMZ-T1 Personal 3D Viewer is one of the best 3D displays on the market, with zero crosstalk. Based on OLED technology, the headset is capable of deep, deep black levels, and whether in 2D or 3D, all im
The headset is heavy and becomes quite uncomfortable with extended use. It's not possible to get the whole screen in focus at once, resulting in blurring at the edges. The effects of its lower resolution are apparent: detail levels aren't up there with an
While the Sony HMZ-T1 personal headset is capable of some of the best 3D effects I've ever seen, it's uncomfortable to wear for extended periods and images suffer from blurriness.
This is not the first Virtual Reality headset. I even remember “virtual reality” headsets from my childhood but the Sony HMZ-T1 is definitely different – and much better. Still, I cannot help thinking that we are taking baby steps here. Progression in vir...

But the surround sound pass-throughs could have been better, Advertisement, And let's talk wearability. While it's far, far more comfortable than any other headset we've tried, it isn't exactly like wearing your favorite hat. If you don't spend a lot of t
Yes, as long as you have another TV. This is a toy. An $800 toy. I think very few people would be happy with it as their primary television. Its too closed-off from the outside world, and tethered to the video source by a cable. You have to be so connect...
Abstract: Although it's designed for use with a PlayStation 3 or Blu-ray drive, the real potential of this new head-mounted display (HMD) only shines when it's paired with the sheer power of the PC. When attached to a gaming PC, the HMZ-T1 single-handedly re...
Excellent 3D effect, Great colour and black levels
Uncomfortable after half an hour, Low resolution (720p), It's hard to get the whole image in focus
Sony's Personal 3D Viewer is definitely a niche product. We can't see many units selling -- it's not a very sociable product, it can be uncomfortable and it really only appeals to 3D fans -- but if you can get it set up correctly it's able to produce a go...
