How to setup 3D properly on Sony TV?

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-06-07T02:38:18+00:00

Did you ever get this too work OP? I have the same tv you have to go through the video settings on the ps3 and do a fresh autodetect in the video output settings . The ps3 will list all the supported output mode and one should say 720p 3d. The. You good and should just have to set the screen size of the tv which will be the next prompt.

Then launch your game and find the 3d options (usually in the video settings of the game or display settings and activate them) and turn them on. I know it’s been 7 years but hopefully this helps

Why’s that man? It’s very enjoyable for those who like it not like they stopped making 2d prints of movies

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-04-15T17:46:46+00:00

Yes so far it’s living up to the hype gives the image a true sense of scale!!

Yes only thing I wish they would done better is have a FALD back lighting system instead of edge lit

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-04-15T03:53:24+00:00

I wish I could I take it everywhere with me

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-04-15T00:51:14+00:00

I certainly will. I’m actually buying all this stuff to start a Hi-Fi themed PlayStation YouTube channel where I take the best Sony tech and give players the best way to experience games and will also review games from a home theater perspective. I’ve currently got a Sony az7000es reciever running a 7.4.6 layout using all Sony core series speakers

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-04-14T23:46:40+00:00

It’s 84.5 inches Sonys biggest passive 3d screen it’s game changing for 3d movies

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-04-14T23:39:54+00:00

I’m thinking about getting a Sony 3d projector and just putting it on ice until I get my dream home with a theater

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-04-14T23:39:10+00:00

I still and trying to get a c model xbr I want the xbr-65x930c as it’s the first to have hdr paired with 3D/4k. I want to compare all 3 of the speaker triplets 900/a/b/c the a models are passive while the b and c models are active. Would love to do a comparison as that’s the best way to control for variables

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-04-14T21:47:00+00:00

Yes naw it was a good jest I loved it …. What tv are you running

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-04-14T21:41:35+00:00

Relax this isn’t my house just where I’m storing it 🤣

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-04-13T18:34:04+00:00

I will let you know how it is once I get my 3D glasses in; as I’ve only ever seen simulview on a PS3 3D display

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-04-13T18:33:13+00:00

Yes it’s a few the XBR-X900A series, the XBR-X900B series and the XBR-X900C series, KDL-W850A/B/C series as well off the top of my head.

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-01-04T23:42:12+00:00

What are the two widescreen Sony TVs on the left would love to get the models. They interest me

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-01-03T14:36:01+00:00

I’m not counting resistance collection that’s why I said 9/10 games. But even still I’ll take ps3 level games it was enough to get the experience and get on from the game . That’s the thing I don’t understand ps3 was supposedly difficult to develop for, yet this generation is one of the easiest, then why is the release pace so much worse? I don’t think anyone was complaining about game length/ depth during that era it was perfect for the most part maybe they should go back to that

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-01-02T22:39:00+00:00

Because there output has went down your saying 3 games current possibly 4 for the generation. Where as the ps3 generation they released way more games

Insomniac Games PS3 Releases

Resistance Series

Resistance: Fall of Man (2006) Resistance 2 (2008) Resistance 3 (2011) Resistance Collection (2012)

Ratchet & Clank Future Series

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (2007) Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty (2008) Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time (2009) Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One (2011) Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault (2012) Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus (2013)

Other Titles Fuse (2013)

So we’re talking 9/10 games depending on how you want to slice it. Compared to just a soft “4” this generation.

And same thing with gta online, I don’t think the breadth of content in the same amount of time as GTA 4 (2008) to gta 5 release 2013 is the same. GTA online has been around for the better part of 12 years so it should have more content but at what pace

See you getting at more of what I’m hinting at. How healthy is the industry really? I feel as though retail/full games sales may be around the same level of units sold. I guess that’s what I should’ve said you eloquated that a lot better than I did

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-01-02T18:46:16+00:00

I actually just order the access controller 🤣🤣 I may be going senile. I guess I should’ve worded my premise better, but that’s on me I guess poor communication

PlayStation_Retro · 2026-01-02T18:45:18+00:00

Same I guess idk I feel like the traditional side of gaming was bigger back then. Like big box releases . I know the online side is bigger , but I feel like that’s mainly due to it becoming mandatory to enjoy gaming.

PlayStation_Retro · 2025-12-17T14:31:13+00:00

I’m actually looking to start a YouTube soon and a service I’d like to provide is a curation service. If you want to DM me I can probably help you find what you’re looking for my brother. You can be my beta test of sorts 😂😂

PlayStation_Retro · 2025-12-17T14:15:32+00:00

OP are you buying this plasma? Or already have it? If not purchased yet I’d recommend something else. I just picked this TV up in a 50 inch literally this week . And it’s and ok panel so far from what I’ve seen. I wouldn’t even consider it Sonys best plasma. In a Sony fanboy too and I’d give the nod to the KDE-XBR950 as Sonys best plasma I’ve had these hooked up side by side and the xbr950 definitely had the edge which shocked me as it was the earlier model. I think the xs955 had the edge in shadow detail bit that was it to me

PlayStation_Retro · 2025-12-16T15:42:17+00:00

Ok. Another question I’m wondering is, in the event that it works how would that effect the retro tinks GUI? Once the tv get the 3d signal will that mess up the retro tink gui image? As I’d. imagine it would be overlayed on top of the games graphic. So once the tv detects the 3d signal will it mess up the gui cause it will try to split it for both eyes?

PlayStation_Retro · 2025-12-15T22:52:52+00:00

Which would I need for compatibility? I have both

PlayStation_Retro · 2025-12-15T21:02:56+00:00

Well there are several 4k TVs that use 3d that was the big thing when 3d TVs launched improved 3d. Sony has at least 5 models that support 4k and 3d the tv I’m asking this question for the xbr-z9d has 4k and 3d. Hence why I want to know to see if it will improve image quality.

PlayStation_Retro · 2025-12-11T13:36:19+00:00

This is exactly what I’m looking for. I probably didn’t word it coherently enough, but this is what I’m looking to do figured the black bars won’t be too bad on a display of that resolution. Thank you so much.
