new 3d Glasses 2012?

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 21:33:50 GMT

I couldnt resist any longer, purchased 2 pairs of the TDG BR-250 today, ill wait and see if the TDG BR-750's come out soon before i buy any more.

I wonder if they actually flicker at the same rate the TV is able to do , so can the glasses flicker thier shutters at 400hz when viewing 3D on a HX923 and 200hz on HX823?

Anyone bought any third party glasses , i would assume the Sony ones are the only ones to have and the others are crap, but maybe im wrong and they all work the same?

Im looking forward to seeing the TDG BR-1000's already!

No sound in KDLHX823 and KDLNX723

Well I cant be sure of your exact cable setup (hdmi/scart optical etc??) but normally these boxes have a old style standard phono output for sound that outputs the same signal as is passed over hdmi (except downscaled to 2ch) so maybe you could setup one of your hdmi ports to use the sound from a headphone style connector (called "PC Audio" in the sound setup menu on the HX823) .

also if there is no phono connector on your cable box then maybe you can use a scart to yellow/red/white adaptor to get sound out of your box, ignore the yellow if your using hdmi/dvi for video and just use the red and white connectors, this works on old sky boxes on one of the scarts only.

This is not ideal way to do sound but it might allow you to get sound going for now without spending any money.

2012 3D Glasses - TDG-BR750

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 13:29:23 GMT

These souns good and I would like to know if they will work with the hx823 series? I see in the manual that they use the infra red emitter and not bluetooth so there is a good chance of them working.

This is important to me as I was about to go out and buy 3-4 pairs of BR250's

I would also like to know a release date and pricing and if they solve the crosstalk issues, are they higher hertz than the BR250's?

do they have the free sony add on filters built in or what is the story with them?

lol @ instructions "do not put the 3D glasses in a fire"

I must say, they do look fairly trendy compared to the BR250's. Hope they are gonna work with the hx82* series!

BR250's and BR750's for comparison:

I want some! They will work with the HX853 series, does that mean they will work with the HX823?

They going to cost around 100 sterling, so probably 125 euros approx.

Im sure all info wasnt available when you posted this but it seems that they do use an infra red emitter to sync with TV, see the instructions pdf in the BRD750 thread.

http://bmc.brandsmartusa.com/ProductData/ProductFiles/20148619.pdf

Still no confirmation on which TV models they will work with? I was about to go out and buy 3-4 pairs of 250's but now im thinking of waiting for a release date and price before I possibly waste money on inferior glasses.

3D Glasses Filter

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 13:07:51 GMT

Im not liking what ive seen in this thread, I have a Bravia kdl 46 hx823 and havnt even purchased 3D glasses for it yet, This seems to be a big problem with different models effected, I dont feel like spending hundreds on glasses for the family to be told in a few weeks or months that now the TDG-BR3000 glasses are out and the problem is solved, is this an issue with the glasses or screens like previously mentioned ? (made by samsung, uugghh?!! We had 2 samsung TVs die just after warranty expired and I would not have purchased a bravia if I had known this before?)

I think the whole point of the "Active 3D glasses" is that they are 100% in sync with the TV, if the glasses are allowing cross talk then obviously the emitter/shutter system isnt doing its job as advertised?

I also dont see how tilting our heads should make any difference, if one eye is effectivly closed when the frame for the other eye is being shown, tilting ones head in real life does not effect depth perception at all and it should be similar in this case or maybe technology isnt is good as its advertised to be as is the case sometimes.

What is the technology behind these "filters"? sounds to me like something stuck on over the glasses that blocks out more light and therefore hides this problem?

I can certainly see why Sony is being so nice and giving these out for free if this is the case, Its a bit like saying, "put sun glasses on over your 3D glasses and you wont see the defects in our tvs, hey here is a free sticker for your glasses as we dont want you to complain too much about this problem!" or maybe im wrong.

Skype Cameras

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 12:35:08 GMT

I also have a KDL 46 hx823 (lovely TV!) I was lucky and found that a toshiba webcam PX1342E I had works fine as a microphone and it allows me to setup skype and sign in and use skype, no camera for video calls though.

I am quite dissapointed to find the Sony HD eye toy from the Move bundle for PS3 doesnt work, as camera or microphone, I have 2 of these cameras and assumed that because it was a SONY HD camera made in last few years it would work, it is a good quality camera and would be great for skype IMO... strange that a toshiba laptop webcam half works and no support for Sony PS3 camera at all.

Is there any plans to support this camera on Bravia TVs?
