Will the PS4 Use 3D TV?

by Matthew on December 23, 2008

After another busy post about Super Hi-Vision possibly being an option on the Playstation 4, the general opinion was no chance as the current console doesn’t fully make use of 1080p just yet. I have to agree with the comments made that Sony should concentrate on the current technology for viewing. However, I came across 3D TV the other day which caught my attention. In the UK, Sky have mentioned that they have successfully made their first test broadcast (to just 1 TV set) by using a standard Sky+ box. This test will hopefully pave the way to more shows and channels being broadcast in 3D within the next 2 – 3 years. This has led me to ponder the possibility of Sony utilising 3D TV for the PS4.

3D TV in the past required the use of special glasses, sometimes with red and green colours in the lenses, or other glasses like the IMAX uses. A new technology has been made available over the last couple of years which aims to present a 3D picture without the need of glasses. When watching a football game you could lean to the side and see objects closer to you move faster across the screen then objects further away. With out the need for special glasses it does make 3D TV more desirable and this could easily be adapted in to Playstation games.

What are your thoughts? Should Sony make the PS4 3D TV compatible?

ps3 sitll has far to go and i bet if ppl see a ps4 get released they wont buy it cuz its been this way since ps2

ps1 then ps2 and it first was 600$ and it suxxxxx every1 knows that
but ps3 wont ever suk like ps2 did cuz ps3 is better but it still sux to cuz of the bugs and glitches…sony just needs to make sure their products are reliable instead of just putting some stuff together and just putting it in the store and then later on changing it all with different things that they say are better like a 160 hdd limited edition uncharted drakes fortune ps3 ..like 2 times hte price of the 80gb ps3 now and its worse becuz stupid ppl buy that…the 80gb one has 4 usb slots and u can change the hdd to a bigger 1 more bigger than 160…160gb ps3 has only 2 slots for usb wuts the point…theyre just tryin to scam and make money someone should press a lawsuit for all that …aint sayin that it needs 1 really but look at the situation…since ps and n64..what has been happening its only been like 10 years and now ps3 and xbox360 r here and they should be here for a long long time cuz they aint evne started yet….I quibble final fantasy 13 make a remake of final fantasy 7!!!! that is better than every final fantasy in the series combined these days the ones that get released are dumb…and gta is dead

What you say. Maybe you should learn english before typing out crap.

3D can already be produced on the PS3. It would just need a firmware update.
So it is obvious that 3D can be made but it would be down to the game publishers to decide if they want to.
