I have now tested two 3D plasma screens with my PS3:
LG 60PX950N (PX990 in UK) and
Samsung PS63C7705 (C7000 in UK)
Both of these tv sets are capable of displaying side-by-side video clips with very little crosstalk, but when I'm trying to play any PS3 game (GT5, Black Ops, Tumble, Motorstorm 3D Rift, Wipeout HD), the crosstalk is just horrible.
I have tried the games on two different PS3 consoles (neither of which are of the newer Slim model though) and with two different HDMI cabels (one of which is v1.4), with the same result: Unbearable crosstalk. I would guess that, at its worst, ~50% of each image is leaked to the other eye. The 3D effect can still be seen, but most of the time is quite painful to watch to be honest.
What is wrong? Are there some settings in the PS3 (or in the TVs) that I might have missed? Is the PS3 Slim better at 3D? Are there some crosstalk issues with the current PS3 firmware? Or is it just that the current 3D TVs simply cannot display decent sequential 3D image (I mean, 3D video which is received in sequential form via HDMI), because of e.g. synchronisation issues with 3D glasses?
Below some screenshots from Motorstorm (on 60PX950N), which is actually one of the most playable 3D games, taken through the left lens of the shutter glasses (actually in these still images the crosstalk doesn't look half as bad as it really is):
For the next photo, the brightness of the TV is turned to maximum to absolutely minimize the crosstalk, but it's still very clearly visible - look at the rooftop of the house on the right as well as the ghost cars (again, looks much worse in real life):
