I picked this up last time it was on sale for the same price.
Will everyone be happy with it? Does everyone EVER agree on EVERYTHING?
That said, I'm in IT. I'm a gadget nut. I like electronic toys, and I'm typing right now on an ASUS 17.3" widescreen laptop that I use as a desktop replacement. So I am famiilar with and like 17" - 24" widescreen displays. The Sony 3D 24" 240Hz LED display is amazing.
Now what everyone else has posted is true. It is NOT as bright as other LCD displays I've been used to. And the 3D glasses LOWER the brightness even further. So if your looking for the brightest display out there, this is NOT for you.
That said, I've watched Avatar 3D and Resident Evil Afterlife 3D using this display. I was NOT disappointed. The fact is, I have a cataract that needs surgery. I'm having it done RIGHT after New Year's. And the "quality" I see with 3D may not be the best right now, as one eye isn't focusing 100% despite a new set of lenses just a few months ago. But what I can see IS 3D, and is quite nice.
Is this a must buy for everyone? Absolutely not. Will many of you love it if you do? I believe you will. This is a small display meant for viewing with 3-5' IMHO. I'm going to try using it in my guest bedroom, at a distance of about 8'. I've already got the furniture setup, and just need to move the display in there and deal with the plug ins. And I'm thinking I'll get another set of 3D glasses, so we can fit 3 on the couch and watch movies when needed (I bought a 2nd pair from Best Buy the day I bought the display from Fry's).
I'm pretty happy with my purchase, if that helps.
