The DMP-BDT300 is the first Blu-Ray 3D compatible player Digital Versus had a chance to test.  The DMP-BDT300 is a good player but has its limits. Its multimedia player only plays SD and HD DivX (as well as JPEGs and MP3s) and we found the SD upscaling a little hard. Read full review @ Digital Versus.

Asus has just announced plans for two new 120 Hz monitors that will be compatible with Nvidia’s 3D technology.  The Taiwanese manufacture is the latest to join the party after Samsung kicked things off a year ago with its 2233rz, but it hasn’t arrived empty-handed.

Amongst the monitors on offer, there’s a Full HD 23” display, the VG236H, and, for the first time, a 120 Hz 27” monitor, the PG276H, which is also Full HD.  Up until now, the largest 120 Hz display we’ve seen was the 24” Acer GD245HQ.  More info @ Digital Versus.

The guys at DV visited a Sony Style store where the team were showing off a Sony Bravia 52LX900 – a LED backlight 3D TV!   It’s a 3D compatible television, for one thing.  Apart from that, it uses Edge LED backlighting and has the Motionflow 200 Hz Pro system.  We still don’t know how much it’s going to cost because it won’t actually go on sale until the summer.  The demo that we saw wasn’t a production model, axnd the software inside could well change before the LX900 reaches the shops.

The first thing we noticed is that the LX900 was connected to a PS3, which confirms that the console will receive a firmware update to make it compatible with 3D, and good progress has already been made.  So Sony could use a PS3 to show us a series of 3D clips including documentaries, extracts from films, football matches and even some game that will be adapted for 3D.

Yup, we’ve got more 3D from the IFA in Berlin.  But make no mistake: if this show is anything to go by, then 3D is on its way.  Being here has allowed us to understand a little bit more about how the technology is developing.

Until now, when people mentioned 3D, what came to our mind was Pixar animations or video games: in short, products for young people.  However, the demos we’ve seen here have been much more wide-ranging (sport, films, games, concerts …) and a cross-generational audience.  From 8 to 80, we saw just about everybody trying on the glasses, and above all a lot of people aged over 35.  Maybe youngsters are up-to-speed with 3D already?
