3D TV - Anyone Bothered?
Re: 3D TV - Anyone Bothered?
We have need of you again, great king.
Shoulda gone to specsavers
I'm a bit off I tech lover and have lots of gadgets.
But 3D tv??
Whats the point?
However, if you "can not see any appreciable difference between standard definition and high definition", I seriously suggest that either you aint watchin hd as you think you are, ( ie. 720dpi not 1080dpi, not via hdmi, etc ) or you seriously need to go to the opticians as the picture quality is significantly superior.
Good luck with that..

Re: Shoulda gone to specsavers
I did check the resolution settings in my LCD TV when I first got it. The tuner is HD and the broadcasts I'm checking it against are HD. The info display tells me that I'm watching the HD version and then I change channel over to the same program being shown in standard def but the difference is debatable in my mind.
I could carry on about how vinyl records sound better than CDs and start an argument that never ends but I'll leave that alone.

Re: 3D TV - Anyone Bothered?
There is a similarity with the vinyl-vs-CD comparison. For me, pre-HD broadcast TV viewed on a flatscreen was / can still be smudgy, ghosty, blocky, horrible. HD broadcast TV is TOO defined. It has an unnatural sharpness to it. By comparison, an analogue image has an ambience about it and a comfortable, realistic sharpness.

Re: 3D TV - Anyone Bothered?
Reading some replies I am fascinated by the personal preferences of those who prefer analogue pix to the ultra-sharp HD.....interesting !!
As someone who only yesterday tried out the first professional 3D
video camera, just on the market from Panasonic, I must say that those
writing off 3D already are being both jumping the gun and being foolish !!
Very foolish actually as 3D has hardly begun yet.....once Sony comes
on board next year the game gets going !!!
May I also point out to those who prefer HD to 3D (which few people
have looked at yet in their homes because its still at the infant stage),
that a 3D TV ALSO PLAYS HD.....so why buy an average HD set when a
3D one gives you the option to choose both....HD now and 3D as it
comes along...as it most certainly will...
3D as a porn tool - and I base this only on yesterday`s trial of the new
camera - will be a while yet replacing the porn handycam as it is limited
in movement (you cannot easily wander around the action) and it works
best with foreground objects or things coming out of the screen past the
convergence point of the lenses. An operator needs to constantly fix
the convergence points and then fix focus manually.....but the end
results, done properly, will make for some mind-blowing porn and I am
certain will gain a following.....also cameras will get better and cheaper !

Re: 3D TV - Anyone Bothered?
I personally think the industry/retail 3D hype earlier this year was spurred on by consumers not splurging on new technology fast enough
It was far too close on the heels of blue-ray for it to be anything but a marketing ploy
