  • Special feature for two-player mode “SimulView™”
    Designed to deliver the ultimate gaming experience only possible on the 3D Display, it utilizes new, proprietary technology that allows two players playing a multi-player game to see individual, unique, full-screen 2D images of gameplay using the bundled 3D Glasses and supported software title*5.

  • Other features
    With quick start-up mode, users will only have to wait for one second after pushing the power button to boot the display. The 3D Display also offers a power saving mode which shifts to auto standby if it does not receive a video signal for more than five seconds. Additionally users can utilize the separately sold BD remote control (CECH-ZRC1J), incorporating infrared transmission to operate the 3D Display remotely.
