hi bro please tell your review of e2352 , i intend to use it with ps3 only
I had posted this review 1+ month ago in other forum, directly pasting the content here.
i'm not an expert so don't expect in depth review.
contents: monitor, stand, 2X 3D glasses , manual, CD, cleaning cloth, HDMI , DVI,VGA, 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable and power cable.
1.Its a TN panel based display but viewing angles are good, lot better than my current 17†TN panel display.
2.Hotkeys are hidden under the bezel and the tiny labels on the bezel are almost impossible to read. I always accidentally press power on/off key instead of 'OSD menu' which is situated next to the power key, Its really annoying when this turns the monitor off during gaming. IMO they should have integrated power key into LED just like my older monitor.
3.Its better to use included i-menu application to adjust display settings instead of using OSD and hotkeys of the monitor.
4. There is a 3.5mm audio out jack to connect external speakers or headphones. Works fine with HDMI, but 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable is required for audio in port when used with VGA/DVI.
5. viewing angle in 3D is very limited. only 20 degrees of vertical movement is possible.
It works just like any other 2D monitor in 2D mode so i'll provide my view only on 3D.
its a passive 3D monitor. So while wearing 3D glasses and sitting close to it [~70cms] there are some finely spaced black horizontal lines. Like the ones you get from low resolution monitors.
Maybe its due to nature of passive 3D, as each eye gets only 1280X360 pixels [in case of 720p games] or 1920X540 [in case of 1080p games], this creates jaggies-stairstep like lines in some distant objects/wire fence/radiator grills like objects.
however, included 3D videos are awesome. Didn't watched any 3D movies yet.
games i've played in 3D: rating from 0 to 10 based on how good 3D experience is:
PS3: got detected as a 23" 3D display automatically, so manual config is not required
played Gran turismo 5 in 3D. 3D effect is very good, but its pain in the a** so setup convergence and parallax, even after 15-20 tries with different settings. I still couldn't eliminate crosstalk completely, crosstalk is only visible in black objects in white background, like a car's A-pillar against the sky, or street lights.
rating: 8/10
xbox 360: it got detected as a 23" 3D display automatically, so manual config is not required
couldn't find any 3D games. played on 2D only.
PC: [phenom II X4, HD6770] : installed and updated TriDef3D application that allows 3D games to be played with included 3D profiles [+ a lot of custom profiles available in tridef3d forums]
burnout paradise : aliasing problems, didn't had enough grunt left to enable anti-aliasing as fps dropped considerably after enabling 3D. Its really fun to see broken sign posts/poles flying out of the screen.
Rating: 8.5/10
GTA san andreas : Its pretty old game and lacks detailed graphics. Excellent 3D effect in terms of depth and feel. Lights from headlamps and street light or any other source appear at slightly wrong depth.
rating: 9/10
Flight simulator X : virtual cockpit is not as good as i had expected and there's huge amount of cross talk in runway lights [during night time flying]
rating: 6/10
Tomb raider 2013 : Good 3D effect, didn't played much as my gpu couldn't handle it in 3D [20-24fps]. Enabling tressFX causes lara's hair to appear at slightly wrong depth [maybe its due to low fps, can't say as i played it only for 50-60 seconds]
rating: 9/10
Farcry 3: good 3D effect, but there's little bit of cross talk. Aiming a gun using right click is impossible in 3D due to a bug in camera placement [POV] that blocks gun's iron sights.
Rating: 8/10
COD Modern warfare 2: Everything is perfect, almost zero crosstalk. One of the best 3D games i played using tridef3d.
Rating: 9.5/10
battlefield 3: same as above
Rating 9.5/10
Brothers in arms: hell's highway: same as above, target marker and attention/health marker over enemy soldiers appear at screen depth.
Rating: 9/10
Assassins creed brotherhood: almost perfect, except some aliasing problems, GPU was already on its knees [22-25fps] so didn't tried anti aliasing.
Rating: 8.5/10
Need for speed Most wanted 2012 : Lot better than Burnout paradise, More destruction in 3D. No aliasing problems, excellent 3D effect, no crosstalk. But low fps even on lowest visuals and 720p.
Rating: 9.5/10
LA noire : low fps problems even with low graphics and 720p, aliasing problems, 3D effect seems good but played it only for 50-60 seconds so wouldn't comment on crosstalk or 3D depth in cutscenes.
Rating: N/A [7/10 as first impression]
Sleeping dogs: not recommended. out of focus, graphics glitches and wrong depth.
Rating: 3/10
as above ratings show, 3D effect depends on games, some games offer jaw dropping 3D effect like, BF3, COD MW2, BiA: HH, NFS MW, GT5 etc. while others suck, eg: sleeping dogs.
Passive 3D has problems with those finely spaced black horizontal lines [low resolution] while active 3D has flicker + eye strain problems. So IMO 3D doesn't worth it. instead of 3D, buying a bigger 2D display makes more sense. There are some excellent 3D games and movies. But quantity of good quality and trouble free 3D games is very low. 3D gaming also requires more GPU power and viewer must tolerate low resolution [passive] or flicker [active] in 3D displays.
so please tell about its 3d performance in ps3
I've only played Gran turismo 5 in 3D. I don't have any other PS3 3D game to test its performance. Already posted 3D performance in GT5. check my review posted above.
did you enjoy it / great experience ?
In some games, playing in 3D is a great experience, while in others, it isn't.
does it also convert 2d to 3d ps3 games ?
No
did you notice ghosting problems ?
not ghosting, but some crosstalking is visible sometimes. for eg: a white glowing light in black background [dark environment] or Car's black coloured A piller against white background [sky]
I still don't know. I had spent 1+ month thinking about the same question before buying it. Some times it feels like i should have bought a regular 22" 2D and saved the rest amount instead. But some 3D movies and games look really great in 3D. I still don't know the answer.
