not getting or even consider "3D TV" at least not for the next decade.

if "3D TV" by any chance has survived by then, I might considered then.
 
3D is painful to watch after too long and I refuse to jump on the bandwagon as long as they make me wear a stupid set of glasses. I'll wait till they perfect holograms and then count me in :)
 
What if the marketing hacks told the manufacturers to offer 3D and the general public didn't give a crap! Well that is the reality.

The economy can't sustain this fad technology.

They offered it years ago in the movies and it flopped, it's reared it's ugly head once again and will once again go away.

The have demonstrated "glassless" 3D but it doesn't look good at all. And no perfection looks forthcoming either.

3D will go away in about 5 years.
 
[citation][nom]Silmarunya[/nom]As long as they force me to put glasses on top of glasses, I'll say no to the 3D effect.Besides, there are no TV and very few quality movies in 3D. Some people actually like to see more than just dumb Hollywood blockbusters. You know, like art films...[/citation]
And by 'art films' he means porn.
 
[citation][nom]jackbling[/nom]For most movies 3d is poorly implemented (there are exceptions), but for games, it is amazing and enriching.if you have not tried 3d gaming, it would behoove you to find someone with the setup and witness it for yourself.I really dont understand why people are so opposed to shutter glasses, that is the best way to get the 3d effect without requiring a level viewing angle, as in parallax screens. My evo 3d works well with the parallax, but if you tilt your head slightly while viewing, it is disorienting, rough on your eyes, and it takes a sec to readjust.After a week or so using the shutter glasses your eyes adjust to the effect far more quickly and the fatigue from extended play diminishes.[/citation]
And there is a lot of potential for the technology to improve and with higher refresh rates the 'shutter effect' that people don't like will go away.
 
That's why I have the LG passive glasses. They are already standard. Active shudder should die. Way too expensive and all LED backlight can go passive.
 
Anyone shunning the tech after watching movies needs to try 3D vision with 120hz monitor. There difference is huge. It may not be perfect, but it's hugely better.

At 24hz per eye, it is rough on the eyes, but at 60hz per eye, it's smooth. Even dropping it to 100hz, or 50hz per eye, you see a lot of flickering and I understand what people are talking about, but that goes away with 120hz monitors.
 
i just wonder who buy this stuff and why... now even when going to movies, need to check times when they don't show it in 3D

As soon as 3D TVs have polarized screens to use passive, cheap glasses like at movie theaters, I'll consider buying one. I own a good size collection of 3D movies since the added cost of the 3D disc was usually on sale for only a buck or two more than the 2D-only set.

apparently "tbq" is one of the suc...er...i mean people who buys this 3D crap
 
Should've been this way in the first place. No 3D news will be exciting until we don't need any glasses. On a real screen, not 3DS.

There is currently a 3D porn site if you have the glasses for it.
 
I have a Sony 3D TV... and all I'm missing are the glasses and RF transmitter. They are too much money plus its all a bitch... I've gotta have software that can play a 3D blu-ray since my blu-ray drive is in my desktop, compatible graphics card, all devices between must be HDMI 1.4 compatible, 3D TV, 3D glasses, 3D RF transmitter, and finally the 3D blu-ray of your choice.
3D is easy, just pop it in
 
Like others said before me, I too have problems seeing anything 3D due to a bad eye. All 3D does to me is make a blurry movie even blurrier.

Even still, there's so little content developed to take true advantage of 3D, is it really worth the extra cost?

I was surprised at just how much 3D continent there is for PC gaming with Nvidia 3D vision. Most the games I own work very well in 3D. They have a list of a few hundred games that work.

But ya, it's not going to work well for someone with an injured eye. I believe Apple is working on a tech that might work for you. They intend to have a 3 layer monitor, so the different depths will be at different layers, although with 1 good eye, depth perception is lost and the whole concept of 3D doesn't really work.
