Doesn't look like the game or 3D glasses are included.It looks like this doesn't come with the game or 3d glasses unless I missed it.
All in all that $99 purchase can really add up. Again, not everyone will need or want these things but it easily adds an extra $30-$150 by the time you are done.
It should include the stand. It's bolted to the display and was included as a "some assembly required" part with each unit.So it doesn't include the stand?
The USB port on the back won't power the Chromecast? It charged my 3D glasses just fine as well as powered my headphones. It's got a little cover piece over the port but there's definitely one on it (bottom right if facing the front).In for two plus the 1-year warranties
Now I have to craft a yarn to explain to my wife why we now have 4 of these things. I think slapping a Chromecast onto one and dropping it in our bedroom might help a bit. Too bad they don't have a USB port to power the Chromecast
What I don't understand is why people that have that problem still have them or are still saying they are good TVs. I don't think I would be happy if my monitor or TV blacked out randomly, or flickered at times.I see a lot of people saying they bought one and are seeing the black flicker...when I talked to Sony about the issue, the black flicker is a near guarantee that your screen is going to fail sooner than later. GODSPEED.
That was my thought, how will they handle the warranty on a discontinued / refurbished item?These are discontinued so even with warranty you might have a problem getting replacement parts unless they still have a bunch of refurb sitting in storage.
Oh my god...The USB port on the back won't power the Chromecast? It charged my 3D glasses just fine as well as powered my headphones. It's got a little cover piece over the port but there's definitely one on it (bottom right if facing the front).
#gamechangerOh my god...
I was first going to reply with "There is no USB you loon", because I've been using these displays for years as travel monitors and have never seen one despite routinely handling them at all angles when carrying them around. Instead, I did a bit of searching and, lo and behold, the god damn thing has a friggin USB port! A very well hidden USB port... I'm just boggled at why it's hidden away like that. I actually found a few professional review sites that specifically called out the lack of a USB port in their reviews.
Apparently the manual calls it a "service port" or something, but it can be used to charge the glasses and install firmware updates. I'll have to test it tonight to see if it gives enough juice to power the Chromecast. That'll be pretty rad if it does. Also hoping the Chromecast can fit into the HDMI port without the dongle thing that comes with it so it's not flopping around all the time. I'll find out more when I get home and handle the thing a bit.
They're made to be a convenient size for dorms.I guess I don't understand the point of these monitors unless you want to use them as computer screens. The point of playing console games (to me, at least) is that you can sit on the couch and relax and play them. Do people hook up a console and sit at a desk with these monitors? 24" is much smaller than the average TV these days. I would assume most people have 30" or larger TV's already.
Agree 100% The screen is too glossy and it is prone the red flash death that most people talk about here. I had to return it after near 30days of use and get credit back.I haven't used mine in a while, but as I recall it was a lot better for videos and console gaming than computer use due to a lack of 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. Looked better than my TN monitor but not as good as my IPS monitor. Glossy surface is also too reflective if your room is brighter than the contents of the display.
Nice! Now to track down a deal on 1 or 2 more Chromecasts. This will make my wife very pleased.#gamechanger
Chromecast fits right into port 1 and leaves enough room for port 2 to be usable. I'm not going to have internet until Tuesday, but the Chromecast booted up connected to the usb port. Just bought one for my bedroom because of this, will use it for my Chromecast, Roku and PS2.
I have one on my coffee table and play games on it while the 55" TV is playing something my wife wants to watch. My wife also has one as a computer monitor she uses for her gaming PC and as a second screen for her work laptop while at home. She gets grumpy about moving it around, so getting an additional one will buy some happiness. Also, planning on putting one in our bedroom since she's been wanting a TV in there and I don't want to spend a grand on a huge TV that will barely get used.I guess I don't understand the point of these monitors unless you want to use them as computer screens.

I have a desk where I have all my gaming consoles and PC as well as 3 monitors. 2 monitors, 23" each, are for my PC. A 3rd is a 27" monitor that I use for all my gaming consoles. The main reason is because for the price a monitor gives you better resolution, higher contrast, more pixels, faster response time, and smoother motion. If you are only using headsets like most people are either starting to do or are already doing then speakers mean nothing. So you pay for better quality and visuals over extra stuff like a normal TV has.I guess I don't understand the point of these monitors unless you want to use them as computer screens.

I use a projector that projects a 144" inch screen. The only downside is I have to go to the doctor every time I have a long gaming session, due to severe eye strain and unbearable migraines.I guess I don't understand the point of these monitors unless you want to use them as computer screens.
