Just like 2D Blu makes me want to not watch DVD anymore.

Will 3D Blu make you not want to not watch 2D Blu anymore ?

DetroitSportsFan · 03-10-2010, 10:00 PM

Nope.

I will still love 2D

Casablanca, Shane, Heat, Goldfinger, T2, Aliens, Terminator, Star Wars, Das Boot, Goodfellas, Speed, Platoon, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight. Are all these movies some how lessened by having 3D I say "Hell no." First and foremost movies are about the story, directing and acting, end of discussion.

I'm as annoyed as you are, I don't have a lot of patience for such immaturity. If someone doesn't want it, they can just leave it alone, there is no excuse for getting up in arms and acting like 3D blu-ray is some kind of humanitarian crisis. Expressing your opinion is one thing, a childish need to affirm your opinion onto everyone that passes is something different.

I say bring on 3d movies, Im still to watch one though. Its a matter of time before it will replace 2d thats for sure.

It is like saying that you will still like black and white movies. Sure, many of them are great but they still belong in the past and so is the 2D. 3D is the future and there is no turning back.

The vast majority of new films are still 2D

Mannyfresh84 · 03-10-2010, 10:01 PM

No way in hell.

that1guystudios · 03-10-2010, 10:18 PM

I think 3-D can enhance the experience, but the hardware you use will impact the viewing experience more than the movie sometimes.

md99 · 03-10-2010, 10:25 PM

Considering I spent almost three and a half grand a mere six months ago on my setup I have absolutely zero interest in being screwed out of more money for a long, long, long time.

My 2D library has a long and healthy life ahead of it.

Batman1980 · 03-10-2010, 10:27 PM

Quite simply, no. Even if 3D becomes a lot more viable, I am more than happy with my 1080p HD blu-rays as is.

42041 · 03-10-2010, 10:30 PM

and before people start rehashing all the 3d nonsense again... let me spare you the hassle of typing it:

"i won't buy 3d until i can view it without glasses"
"i just bought an hdtv and im not buying another one"
"i'm not paying $150 for shutter glasses"
"3d is a stupid gimmick and i hate it"
"3d makes my head hurt"
"avatar is stupid"

Not a chance.

wessew10 · 03-11-2010, 12:23 AM

Not a chance. Think of quadraphonic sound. Remember how much a fad that was. Now fast forward to the first generation of any potential new equipment cycle. In hindsight, does anyone want to be there using beta components spending their own time and money as a guinea pig. Remember also that most film is in 2D and it does just fine that way. 3D at this stage is simply an effort to get all of use to toss the equipment we just bought and start over again with new projectors, new players, and expensive glasses to boot for all of our guests. No way!

It's too early to make a definitive since no one has it yet.

However, I doubt it.

Don't see consumers choosing it for day-to-day TV: news, sports, regular shows they watch while cooking dinner, etc.

I have a 50" and a 65" plasma. I'm good for a while & have no reason to replace one of them.

But if it's just a standard feature or every new set, then sure, it will slowly be rolled in. But they won't do it that way. They'll sell it as a premium.

No! One reason is you would have to buy all new equipment to get to full effect of 3D. It may be to price if you dropped good money on a large screen with in 2009!

I just set up the 3-D Panasonic TV(50vt20) and 3-D Blu-ray player in Magnolia/Best Buy, where I work. The 3D on this TV has to be seen to be believed. It blows every other 3D experience I've had out of the water, and in my opinion was better than the 3D at the movie theater. And I've seen a LOT of movies in 3D...probably nearly 20 now. I also set up the Samsung 3D LED, it however, was quite a letdown...it can't even display full 1080p in 3D, it's actually more like Standard Def. It also had a lot of flicker, and looked downright awful in my opinion when compared to the Panasonic.
