One of the best 3D images we've seen; You'll be the coolest kid in class (or at work);
Headphones could be better; Can be uncomfortable for long periods of time; Required HDMI switcher means that it's not portable at all;
Probably the coolest and geekiest piece of kit that's ever come across this reviewer's desk, the Sony HMZ-T1 is a fantastically cool gadget even with its flaws. It's not perfect and is a little on the expensive side, but if you're looking for a way to kee...

Straight up, this is one of the most unique-looking, innovative gadgets you could have lying around your house for friends and family to drool over. It's definitely got that wow factor. But at $900, it'll also burn a hole in your pocket the size of a face...

It's fun! Whether it's for gaming or movies, the Sony HMZ-T1 Personal 3D Viewer is one of the best 3D displays on the market, with zero crosstalk. Based on OLED technology, the headset is capable of deep, deep black levels, and whether in 2D or 3D, all im

Immersive viewing, Most convincing 3D available, Excellent sound,
Tiring to wear, Not for claustrophobics, An expensive indulgence
While we really can't imagine head mounted 3D displays taking off in quite the same way that Walkmans did a generation ago, we rather like Sony's HMZ-T1 personal 3D viewer. It's a bold and exciting spin on a familiar concept, and one that actually deli...
Abstract: Finally up for pre-order, Tech Digest went hands-on today for a comprehensive, hands-on testing session with the Sony Personal 3D Viewer (HMZ-T1). Read on for our thoughts on Sony's snazziest bit of AV gear in years.You can't help but be drawn to the S...
