According to test out the best in manufactured consumer television (with Pioneer we can speak in the past tense). Excellent color reproduction, smooth tonal gradations display (better than in that Z1), a fantastic 68 953:1 contrast of at which levels can confidently compete with the best projectors, no problems with white balance (which is a plasma screens have always had a problem) and amounting to 6662K color temperature, and so close to the standard D65 (color mode – warm).

Pseudo-3D for the PSP. Fresnel lens in action

February 17th, 2010

This is not an original idea, of course, not new. I remember discussions on the lens F. fought in various fora 6-7 years ago. PC gamers who wanted to get the depth, to transform two-dimensional image in three, on the screens of their monitors use a method involving the Fresnel lens assembly, through which it is possible to obtain a pseudo-3D effect. This type of lens used, inter alia, projectors, and headlamps. Opinions on its application to build low-cost 3D projection system are divided, many people claim that the degradation of image quality is too high and this type of solution does not make much sense. But there are some who see the sense in using this method.

These are not just those who choose to self-assembly of lenses on the screens of their monitors – is also a company that decided to put up for sale specially adapted lens, in the form of an additional overlay on the screen mounted portable Sony PSP. Stereoscopic effect without glasses, pseudo-3D for $ 40. RealView which The said product was designed and produced speaks about maintaining good image quality, lack of negative effects for the sake of clarity and resolution. Editors, who have suffered an opportunity to test the adapter to the invention quite favorably. The image seems to be not only spatial, but larger, and depending on the material you can get interesting effects. Fared particularly well to PSP Gran Turismo and MotorStorm: Arctic Edge. In conclusion – the manufacturer is not cheating the customer, the equipment is largely fulfills hopes vested in him.
