Finally, a worthy HMD.. I've tried and purchased many head mounted displays.. This is the first, that has lived up to my expectations. The display really is wonderful, and you do feel like you're in your own personal movie theater. The image quality and resolution are very good. You actually have to look hard to see any pixels. The headphones are good, I wish they were over the ear, that would make it even more engrossing. My negatives is that it will take a little while to make this HMZ-T1 comfortable, and find that sweet spot. I do find it resting on my nose to much which irritates me. The instructions state that you should adjust it so it does NOT rest on your nose. But it tends to slip down over time. And when that happens you tend to loose the center vision of the magnifying lenses. This in turn cause the edges of the image to blur a little bit. Making the need to readjust. My guess is that the straps start to expand a little bit because of the heat of your head, which causes it to slowly slip down.The forehead pads come with 3 different sizes to switch out for adjustment, I'm still trying to figure out which one works best for me. This HMZ-TI really is amazing, and I'm happy with it. But there is certainly room for improvement in the comfort area, especially if your going to game with it. I understand it's hard to make a head mounted display that fits a variety of people. This is certainly a great effort. If they do make a more lightweight & comfortable model, I'll be first in line to get it. It looses one star based on comfort. The image quality alone is very impressive. This is also the ultimate device for your Playstation 3 if you have one. January 11, 2012
I'll bet version 2 is perfect I enjoy the picture and sound BUT they messed up on the design and should have put a strap over the top from the back of your head to the front. that would have prevented the gradual slipping down your forehead. I still like them (bought 3). Took many uses to see how many ways you can adjust the straps for comfort, I think I have it now using the "top" forehead mount and not the bottom, the middle size cushion is best for my huge cranium :) I would reccommend the "next version" if they change the mounting straps. This one will HURT your head after about an hour or so and force a break. December 29, 2011
Great, But A Little Heavy for Extended Wear I think this is a great device. It has a great field of view and display quality, which has been hard to find in HMDs in the past, and the 3d effect is VERY good. It works great with the nVidia 3DTVPlay product for playing games in 3d on the PC. Skyrim looks outstanding. The only downside is the unit is too heavy for extended use. They really need to take a look at a more cut-down design such as the Emagin Z800 had. If they could reduce the weight, this would be an outstanding product. I hope they release a version 2 of this product which is lighter in weight, because it would be a shame if this unit failed commercially, as many HMDs have in the past. December 24, 2011
Great 3D without the distractions of Life! Take a step into the screen with the HMZ-T1 OLED headset. Big thanks to Sony for bringing this to market, not too many other companies would take such a gamble. It is a very solid product for first generation, OLED screens look amazing, bright and colorful, good quality 3D and Much more immersive than most 3D TV's on the market. I am using it mostly for PS3 games like Uncharted. With the PS3 3D size settings tweaked, the headset provides incredible depth, so much effect that I found myself turning down the 3D setting in game. Bullet trails are close they make me blink. With headset on and Light blockers installed, the distractions of every day life slip away. Remember to pick up your controller or remote BEFORE you jump in. Like other first Generation products, there are some down sides to it. Biggest would be the shape and weight of the unit. It is a bit heavy and may be uncomfortable or unusable for some people. I find that the two back straps have greatest effect on the comfort. When adjusted properly it feels like I am wearing a hard hat and glasses with the weight evenly distributed between back straps, nose and forehead pad. People with really large&small heads or vision issues may have problems with this headset. If you are not sure, try it out at a Sony Store! I am really surprised Sony has not released a storage accessory for this yet, it really needs a protective case, its awkward shape makes for difficult storage when it's not in use. OLED panel lifespan is shorter than LCD, and pixels can burn over time. It seems sony has taken this into account and built in some protections that will extend the lifespan of the OLED's. When the headset is removed from head the screens turn off automatically, Great job. Thanks again to Sony. In the Next version, I would love to see 1080P screens and less weight in the front of the headset. December 21, 2011
