Will the PlayStation® 3D Display work with anything other than my PS3™system?
Absolutely. While the display is optimized for any HD gaming console, it features 3 HD inputs (2 HDMI, 1 component) that allow you to connect to your PS3™ system, cable TV box, and PC.
Does the PlayStation® 3D Display work in normal 2D mode?
Yes. You can choose to play games and watch movies in regular 2D mode.
What’s the difference between ACTIVE 3D technology and PASSIVE 3D technology?
The most notable difference between the two is the 3D resolution. With ACTIVE 3D, you get full HD 1080p 3D playback. With PASSIVE 3D, you will get half the resolution (eg if playback is 1080p, you will see only 540 lines of resolution). ACTIVE 3D displays require ACTIVE 3D glasses and PASSIVE 3D displays require polarized PASSIVE 3D glasses. The PlayStation® 3D Display supports ACTIVE 3D and the highest resolution.
Do I need to buy additional accessories for my PlayStation®3D Display to work?
No. The PlayStation® 3D Display was made to play 3D games right out of the box. With the included PlayStation® 3D Glasses, MotorStorm: Apocalypse Game, HDMI cable, and integrated 3D sync transmitter built into the display, all you need to do is hook up your PS3™system and you’re ready to go.

What does Edge LED backlighting and 240Hz refresh rate mean?
Edge LED backlighting offers improved contrast and brightness relative to normal (CCFL) LCD screens. Additionally, the technology allows for a super slim design.
240Hz is currently the best-in-class refresh rate. With such a high refresh rate, you get reduced motion blur in fast-moving images on LCDs, which is optimal for gaming.
