Sony's 3D capable Bravia LCD TV

Got a chance to try this out today. It was a weird experience but an eye opener at the same time because of the evolution of today's technology. The ads on the side says that in order to get the 3D experience 4 things are needed:

1. A 3D capable Sony LCD TV
2. A player capable of reading the 3D content (a ps3 was used for the demo)
3. The 3D glasses for the 3D capable LCD TV
4. and lastly the media that has the 3D content (a blu-ray demo disc was used for the demo)

Tried on the sleek looking 3d glasses (complete with pouch for safe keeping when not in use), which looks like an oakley inspired shades. Looks like one that cyclops would use as there are no open spaces because it hugs the surrounding area of the eyes. I also noticed that it has a switch of some sort on the left inside part of the glasses. Wasn't able to ask the demo person on what the switch does because a lot of persons were asking questions which kept him busy.

The LCD is I think the 52" version of the Bravia series albeit it's seems the screen used was an OLED type. Colors were vibrant and once the glasses were put on the video pops out of the screen. Feels weird and it took awhile before my eyes could adjust. Wasn't able to see how wipeout looks on 3d because when I took my turn it was.... wait for it..... Wheel-of-Fortune!! The wheel and prizes popped up like that of a pop-up book. I really wished I could've tried it out a bit longer to see other content but there were a lot of people at the time that also want to try it out. I wonder how it feels to use it while playing God of War 3 or Dante's Inferno? hmmmm.....

hi. some time ago, you posted about a green LED on a dopod. i have the dopod 900, and i cant figure out how to turn it off! it seems it only goes into sleep mode. unless one unplugs the battery, did you ever find a solution? pumpkinradio at hotmail

I had long sold that phone but the things I tried was manually turning it off with an app (which was unsuccessful), then replacing the led itself and cleaning the terminals (this only made the green led semi-off). There are days that it was back to blinking normally but then it would go back. I've heard recently that HTC has a service center at SM North you might want to try bringing it there.
