Today was my first experience trying out console 3D gaming on my Asus VG278H monitor. I was expecting it to be a hassle but all I had to do after hooking up the HDMI cable to my monitor was go through the display setup, where it told me I had a 3D capable HDTV and enabled it as an option in games. I didn't have to install or fiddle with 3DTV Play software at all which is nice.
Like people that have gamed in 3D on the PS3 have reported before, the resolution and graphic fidelity drops some going into 3D mode. After coming from a true 3D treat like Skyrim in 1080p to a game meant for a console that is long in the tooth and forced to run in 720p, it sure take some getting used to the drop in graphic quality. While I will probably still play most of my PS3 games in the living room on the bigger HDTV, it is a nice option to have if I want to play those games in 3D. Unfortunately, the only PS3 game that I have right now that supports 3D is Resistance 3, which is regarded as one of the worst 3D games for that system. At some point I will pick up Uncharted 3 and see how that one works out.
On a sidenote, I am not sure if this option is available to everyone when they go through the display configuration, but it asked me what size my HDTV was. It starts at the default 27" size, but allowed me to tell it that I have a smaller HDTV size than that. From anyone that is familiar how the increased depth hack works for 3D Vision, it is basically telling the software that the monitor is a lot smaller than it actually is, allowing for greater separation. This also works for the PS3 3D games as I noticed a huge increase in depth when I told the PS3 that I had a 18" monitor instead of the actual 27" that it is.
I figured I would share this information for anyone that might be interested or just curious.

Interesting idea - I'll see if I can make that work with Gran Tourismo, as the depth in that game is crap, but otherwise the 3D is great. I have a 50" 3D TV so I'll see what size it lets me set it to.

Cool, I will be interested to see your findings. Hopefully it will work for you. I think I might get Sonic Generations for the PS3 since I know the 3D works fine that way and it should hold up well graphic-wise on a console.

Tested WipeoutHD in 3D and it has an impressive amount of depth once I shrunk the monitor size down in the configuration. Too bad there isn't a 3D accelerator adaptor for the PS3 that adds another GPU so that games can keep the same detail or even add more resolution than it already has. I would be interest in something like that if the price was right.

Nice, it sounds like the 360 still has some issues with HDMI input however due to SBS output instead of framepacking. Is all PS3 3D output framepacked?
Also about the monitor size configuration, you can also do this with Avatar the Game (I think it lets you go down to 8") to increase depth/separation beyond the maximum allowed. Definitely a nice feature for those who love extreme amounts like you do Arioch. :)

That's the one thing I hate about my Alienware monitor. It only supports 3D signal through it's DVI-D input. I was unaware of the HDMI not working for it so I can't use my PS3 in 3D.

The PS3 configuration let's me drop the monitor size down to 10" which is just fine with me. Separation on PS3 games is no where near what we are used to on the PC. With that small monitor size setting the depth in Resistance 3 looks pretty good - too bad that game is a poor example of 3D on that platform from what I have been reading. I am going to go pick up Uncharted 3 and Sonic Generations later today and see how those work. I probably won't play too much of either right away but I am in hardcore 3D geek mode and want to check them out now during my vacation. I still got a ton of other games to play, including Skyrim and Arkham City on PC but at least I won't be bored with gaming for a long time.
