The company posted a lengthy FAQ on the PlayStation Blog, covering all the pertinent details regarding tech specs (yes, it's active 3D, with two HDMI inputs and edge LED backlighting) and how the nifty SimulView feature will work.

SimulView, which essentially gives two couch companions their own 2D screens, will require a second pair of 3D glasses. The bundle only comes with one pair of glasses -- separately, the high-tech spectacles will retail for $69.99. Games that will support SimulView at launch are MotorStorm Apocalypse, Gran Turismo 5, Killzone 3, and Super Stardust HD.

LG's TV is scheduled for release this month and comes in two screen sizes: 47-inch and 55-inch, for $2,921 (£1,799) and $4,057 (£2,499), respectively. Sony's display is set for release in November and comes in one size, 24-inch, for $500 (£308). The LW980T (such a catchy name) will come with eight pairs of 3D glasses, but the split-screen gaming glasses will cost extra.

LG and Sony recently dropped patent suits against each other and signed a cross-licensing deal after three years of disputes over smartphone, Blu-ray and TV technologies. Sony hasn't sued LG yet, so this must fit within the bounds of their deal -- perhaps because Sony's product is a display, meaning it won't directly receive broadcasts, and LG's is a true-blue TV. Or maybe it's all in the name: Sony's split-screen tech is called SimulView while LG's is called Dual Play. See? Totally different.
