What do you think about 3D? Do you like it? Hate it? Think it's better than 4K?

There is another forum where such things are discussed.

So I could see Titanic in 3D whenever I wanted. I had an ST30 that turned out to be a lemon, so Panasonic replaced it with a brand new GT50.

2011/13 were expensive years for my setup. New TV, cables, lossless audio receiver, BD players, and new speakers. Just last year, I had everything calibrated, including 3D. I've been very happy with my 3D setup for 5 years. Too bad Panasonic dropped out of the plasma business. It's the best picture I've ever seen at home.

For me it was a total leap of faith, I had never gone to a 3D movie (even Avatar).

My first step was a PlayStation 3D Monitor on clearance for $175, but the Active 3D was muddy and loaded with crosstalk.

I experimented with some 3D PS3 games and watched The Hobbit 3D on that monitor but the experience left alot to be desired.

Eventually I decided I wanted to get a real 3D TV and started actively getting 3D combo packs.

Target had that ad glitch where they had to sell Avengers 3D for $19, that was fun.

Then I read about how 4K sets eliminated the only drawback to Passive 3D (rez drop) and decided to get an LG 4K set.

Welcome to big screen full-HD 3D Nirvana.

I wound up getting a 3D TV by happenstance.
Was shopping for a screen size a little bigger than the 37" we previously had in the living room and one of the stops was Conn's, just for fun to see what they had.

If you've ever been there you know how insistent they can be about checking to see if you're approved for in-store credit.
I reluctantly agreed figuring I wouldn't qualify anyway...well lo & behold I walked out of the store a little over an hour later with a 60" Samsung UN60F7100 (yeah they got me).

Although I had not intended on buying a 3D TV, I've been a fan of stereoscopy since early childhood and looked forward to using the feature.

Been hooked to HD 3D movies @ home ever since.

[8traxrule]

Why? Cause it's cool! I've loved 3D for decades, and this is the best it's ever been at home!

[Zivouhr]

Seeing in 3D in daily life, I also want to extend that to movies and video games if possible, and have always been a fan of 3D in any format.
My first experience of 3D was with red/cyan glasses for some horror movies on TV, and that was a fun effect, but once I saw some theme park stereo 3D with the gray/black 3D glasses, that was amazing. I got that same effect with the early Sega Master System 3D Glasses, long before 3D TV's rolled around, but the content was limited and didn't endure in the market at that time.

Currently, 3D at home with high resolutions, is in its 7th year and still going on blu ray 3D, from 2010 onward.

The movie that convinced me to get a 3D TV was Resident Evil Afterlife 3D. Once I heard that was going to blu ray 3D, that was the reason to buy my first 3DTV, having seen it in the theaters and being inspired by the 3D. Avatar, Beowulf, etc also played a role, though neither of those were on blu ray 3D for most of us.

I believe the next step will be to replicate the 3D effect we can get with glasses 3DTV and projectors, but with glasses free 3DTVs. The technology is in development at Sony and other studios, but has to be perfected still. I believe that could make a lot of new believers in 3D entertainment within the next 10 years or less hopefully.

1) It's the latest thing. Therefore it's the best thing.

2) No glasses required. Those clunky, goofy old glasses - the horror!

3) It's 4K. 4 is a bigger number than 3.


For the general public, I think these will be the deciding factors. Case closed.

[Ray O. Blu]

4. UHD is another convenient acronym to add to the dozens already in place in our everyday lexicon.

[davidsal]

I want both!

[Eny-]

This is like comparing apples with oranges.

[Frank@Chicago]

I realize this is a joke thread, but there are some 3D/HDR parallels I've noticed.

Already we have UHD release that 'don't have enough HDR' or 'need stronger HDR'.

As I understand it, HDR is added afterwards not unlike a 3D post-conversion.

You also have a few true 'shot-in 4K' releases on UHD, which is akin to movie being actually shot with 3D cameras.

Then you have the 4k upconverted discs which are considered less worthy, like 3D post-conversion for some.

I guess for me it just shows "the more things change, the more they stay the same".

Good luck 4K HDR discs, you're going to need it...

[SpaceDog]

I favor both, which leaves me in a bind. Way too many 4K releases have separate 3D releases. Since I want both, I won't buy them unless they are in the same package.

Thus far only Sony and IMAX have gotten this one right.

3D tv is awesomely good but as of now 3D TV is dead. I know, it's unhappy news for those that were 3D TV enthusiasts, however it is time to face facts. there'll be no additional 3D TVs created. In fact, most makers stopped creating them in 2016.

Before i buy into the "why it all unsuccessful," it is important to grasp why it even started. It's something I call the Avatar Effect.

Although 3D pic viewing goes back decades, the discharge, in 2009, of James Cameron's Avatar was a game changer.

With the undisputed worldwide 3D success of this film, pic studios not solely started pumping out a gradual stream of 3D pics into movie theaters, however TV manufacturers, starting with Panasonic and LG, jumped in with the "bright" plan of constructing 3D offered for the house with the introduction of 3D TV. However, that was the start of many mistakes.

So, What Happened?

It seems, lots of things came along to finish 3D TV before it extremely even started. however if i used to be to add it up in 3 ways (I'll move into a lot of detail below), I'd say:

• Unfortunate temporal order
• Expensive and Incompatible Glasses
• Extra prices

As of 2017, 3D TVs square measure dead and aren't any longer being factory-made for the U.S. market.

[Kenbar]

Because I'm intelligent and so I of course prefer life like images over moving pictures. Why settle for anything less if you don't have to? Oled + passive 3D + 4K = winner.

[revgen]

Initially, I didn't care about 3-D. Most of my experience with the format was cheesy anaglyph presentations. It wasn't until Avatar that I started becoming more interested in the format. When I saw 3-D on my parent's plasma, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to see more. I bought my own 3-D plasma, then a DLP projector to reduce crosstalk. I'm now settled on my LG OLED display, which is the best 3-D display I've owned so far. Thankfully, I bought it just in time, since 3-D displays are extinct, at least for the time being.

[DJR662]

I'm always in for a new format.

First 3D movie I saw was The Final Destination 3D (2009) at the theater. Besides loving the actual movies itself, the 3D experience completely blew me away and I've been a huge 3D fan ever since.

I went to a 3D promotional day at Sony HQ over here sometime in the early spring of 2010. It was a great day and from that moment on I just knew I had to get me a Sony 3D TV even though I had just bought a Sony 2D TV 5 months earlier. They had all the first gen Sony 3D TVs at display to try out the 3D. The HX800 series, the LX900 and the NX series amongst others, all showing those Sony 3D demos which I later acquired by getting the actual demo disc they used.

I was drooling all over these during the summer and then when they finally starting to become available that autumn, I went for the 55NX810 (NX800 in the US I think). I also remember buying ridiculously overpriced 3D Blu-ray exclusives on eBay after that, like Monsters vs Aliens, How To Train Your Dragon and Megamind (I seem to remember paying around $80, if not more for that one). I also bought a PS3 as soon as the first 3D games were released, not to mention a total of 12 active Sony 3D glasses during the first two years after I bought the TV.

Ofcourse 3D at home is much better now than back then, especially with OLED, but those sure were fun times discovering 3D home cinema.
