For those who already tried it, does it look the same as original 3d? I read that Samsung tvs has this feature. Are there other tvs that have the same feature?
 


I don't think we can really expect up converted materials to be as good as those that were originally shot in 3d. How many times have you used this feature? On the average, I use my lg's 2d to 3d conversion twice a week. I'm trying to use it with different kinds of shows. From news to talent shows to reality shows.
 
Some 3D content is great and I prefer it to 2D. But most 3D is poorly shot and persistently annoying and horrible. Shooting in 3D takes much more technical expertise. I'd only recommend passive 3D TV's like Vizio and LG, which give a totally natural, headache-free, magical experience. 2D-to-3D conversion is always horrible, like warping the front of your screen without taking on the actual shapes of the objects being shown. The excellent conversion of Titanic cost many millions of dollars and was closely overseen by James Cameron himself. Computers aren't yet smart enough to know the real shapes of objects in a 2D video.
 
2D to 3D video conversion is the process of transforming 2D ("flat") film to 3D form, which in almost all cases is stereo, so it is the process of creating imagery for each eye from one 2D image. And UFUWare 3D Converter is a great choice for converting 2D video to 3D, 3D video to 2d video format, 3d to 3d conversion.
 
I have an old Toshiba TV (about 6 years old) and I love the 2D -> 3D conversion it's easy you just put the glasses on and push the 3D button and choose between Natural 3D or 2D -> 3D hit ok that you've read the safety things and enjoy. The only time it has some ghosting on the sides is white on black the darker the black and brighter the white the more ghosting you see other than that it looks beautiful I use it to play video games, surf the net, and watch movies, anime, and documentaries and it all looks really good plus the TV came with 4 pairs of glasses for the whole family.
