Sony 280-inch 3D LED display headed to Mr. Lee's Greater Hong Kong

Look, we get the whole drive behind this 3D thing. For some, there's no better way to experience sports, films, or console game play and consumer electronics companies are desperate for a source of new revenue. But creating a 280-inch 3D LED display meant for public areas doesn't make a lot of sense long-term unless we're expected to carry those swank, polarized glasses everywhere we go. Nevertheless, Sony was demonstrating the 6.4 x 3.4-meter behemoth at the International Broadcast Equipment Exhibition 2009 in Japan. The panel combines 70 LED displays into a single monstrosity of overlapping images. If nothing else this "3D LED Wall" demonstrates Sony's rabid commitment to 3D for 2010 and an ominous future for our friends working in Times Square. See it in action after the break if you care.

Holy Balls! Those crazy Japanese Strike Again! : ) Is there anything they cant do!

[SNESimon Posted Nov 20th 2009 6:08AM]

This would be perfect for my bedroom.

@SNESimon : The girls?

[Gamer Posted Nov 21st 2009 1:17AM]

[fais Posted Nov 20th 2009 6:14AM]

For a sec I thought Thomas was talking about Times Square in HK. Then I clicked on the link.

[YpoCaramel Posted Nov 20th 2009 7:48AM]

@Fais It would be nice though, now that you mention it?

[timmyc99 Posted Nov 20th 2009 6:35AM]

Can we pay in KongBucks?

[Thomas Ricker Posted Nov 20th 2009 6:48AM]

@Tim ding ding ding ding ding, we have a winner!

[htd Posted Nov 20th 2009 9:39AM]

@Tim
it's called hongkong dollars

taiwanese company releases something in hong kong, why the screen shot has everything in japanese?

[Chip Posted Nov 20th 2009 10:04AM]

@htd Somebody doesn't get the reference ;)

[jocaju Posted Nov 20th 2009 6:46AM]

As a tech lover, this is pretty awesome.

[YpoCaramel Posted Nov 20th 2009 6:59AM]

What's this about Mr. Lee's Greater Hong Kong? I can't find anything in the links. If it's coming here I want to know about it.

[Maximxt Posted Nov 20th 2009 7:48AM]

They are being clever and alluding to Neil Stephenson's "Snow Crash". Good Book :)

[Horse Posted Nov 20th 2009 12:33PM]

Try reading it NOW without wincing at the 90's cliches. It's like watching the movie "Hackers"... but, you know... good.

[Stefan Witkamp Posted Nov 20th 2009 8:31AM]

Can I play Crysis on that???

[Kamianek Posted Nov 20th 2009 10:06PM]

I don't know. Can you?

[Stefan Witkamp Posted Nov 21st 2009 1:59PM]

I think I could if I was able to lay my hands on this thing...
although I don't know wether Crysis is in 3D imaging yet.

[iesuck Posted Nov 20th 2009 9:48AM]

Who/what is "Mr. Lee's Greater Hong Kong"? i guess its a company? Any international minds can enlighten me?

[brianbobcat Posted Nov 20th 2009 9:53AM]

I want to know what she's saying about EXCAM and wifi.

[Chip Posted Nov 20th 2009 10:02AM]

As a citizen of The Mews at Windsor Heights, will I be able to get one of these?

[samagon0 Posted Nov 20th 2009 10:53AM]

whoa! great reference!

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 20th 2009 10:23AM]

Hmm, 3D porn on that. The possibilities are limitless. ;-)

[TracyInCary Posted Nov 20th 2009 11:15AM]

@%UsernameHTML%

3D cleavage is always better than 2D cleavage. :D

[hppypnts Posted Nov 20th 2009 10:54AM]

Where's the Rat Thing?

[HowdyDoody Posted Nov 20th 2009 11:15AM]

0.46 - 0.57 I can just about make out a slight depth illusion when you notice the lady at the front against the background. Unreal!

[Natalie Posted Nov 20th 2009 12:26PM]

You think I can convince someone to buy me this for christmas? XD

[FelixDraconis Posted Nov 20th 2009 1:11PM]

Wow, I hope it's not 720P!

[Drais Posted Nov 20th 2009 1:19PM]

Samurai sword wielding pizza delivery guy's here we come! Here's to Hiro Protagonist!

[Zaraki Kenpachi Posted Nov 20th 2009 1:48PM]

Her low cut jacket with no blouse is making my spiritual pressure rise

[Veacross Posted Nov 20th 2009 8:36PM]

I love the Snow Crash reference!

[Michael Pollard Posted Nov 23rd 2009 5:35PM]

Maybe the next time I get contacts, I'll need to get them polarized. This would leave me ready to see 3D anytime it's in use, like 3D billboards or such.

I wonder what cons I would have with wearing circularly-polarized contact lenses on a regular basis...
