surely 3d aint worth it unless you're going at least 50 plus ? i mean a 37 doesn't even really need to be full hd does it ? as you said david, there are far more important things in producing a decent pic.

Some shops have started getting some new stock in.
I was looking at the Samsung 9000 the other day and it's luuuurvely!
The remote is like an iPhone and you can watch content on it! The telly itself is less than 8mm thick and has a cracking picture.
I even watched some 2D footage or Terminator Salvation turned into 3D. It wasn't perfect, but I was impressed.
I've been really pleased with my Panasonic Plasma, so I'm tempted to stay with them, so I can't wait to see some of the sets they bring out soon.

Watched 3d on a Panasonic setup today. They had a stand with the glasses on optimum distance from the 50" tv and were showing the panasonic 3d demo blu-ray. Awful. Yes it looked like things were popping out of the tv and sunk back into the TV. That bit worked. The problem is that you're tricking my eyes so when I see some background out of focus my eyes will try to focus on that blurred background which is of course impossible.
After that demo I can't imagine I'd want 3dtv even if they come up with a system that doesn't need glasses. It's just wrong.Comment

That was my first reaction to 3D TV as well. I'm just so used to seeing 2D movies which create depth with focus, not by having everything in focus but on different planes.
I've come to like it a bit more, especially for games - but I don't see 3D as a total upgrade, an undeniable improvement like HDTV was.Comment

One day maybe Tvs will have gaze tracking and will be able To tell what it is on screen you are focusing onComment

For films you'd not want that - the director uses depth of field to instruct the audience what to focus on. It's one of the most powerful tools a director has.
I find the move to 3D depressing.Comment

Agree 100% Matt. Look all the people shooting on the horrible Video modes on DSLRs just to get shallow depth of field - people go after it for a reason, it looks good!Comment

There have been a few attempts over the years to introduce higher framerates in cinemas - Showscan was one of them. It was abandoned for general use as it would have been ridiculously expensive but it was used in themepark attractions a lot, in the Terminator and Back to the Future rides, for example.Originally posted by Sane View Post
It would have been amazing to see if used as it was intended in Brainstorm - to go from standard 35mm at 24fps to a high-definition 70mm format at 60fps.Comment

The first glasses-less 3DTVs are starting to appear now, it seems.
No prizes for guessing what the drawbacks are, but this is a step in the right direction.Comment

This is why I haven't rushed out to buy one. Now they just need to get the viewing angles right. But yeah a step in the right direction.Originally posted by Shakey_Jake33 View PostThe first glasses-less 3DTVs are starting to appear now, it seems.

I currently run my PS3 via my AV amp's HDMI splitter into my TV with HDMI handling all audio and video. If I get a 3DTV will I still be able to do this and play in 3D or will I need to upgrade my amp to HDMI 1.4?
I suppose I could go directly from PS3 to TV and then have surround via optical into my existing amp if not.Kept you waiting, huh?Comment
