Popular IT channel Linus Tech Tip on 3D

[Just_Discovered_3D]

When Linus says that the LCD is not fast enough to stop ghosting, is he referring to the LCD in the glasses, or to the LCD of the PlayStation 3D TV?

Frankly, 120-144 Hz glasses are too slow for active 3D (this goes for theatrical RealD as well). Linus is right that the 3D makers price gouged back in the day, as today's DLP glasses are more convenient and $15 a piece. DLP projection removes many of the downsides of active 3D that they mentioned, and turn them into assets...perhaps active 3D should have been for projectors or dark room viewing only?

I notice that they also notice how objects moving laterally appear to stutter, would have been nice if they'd pointed out that Cameron claims he can correct this, but that might have been out of their ken.

The camera not focusing on the objects that your eye is drawn to is, as he mentioned, also a problem. Shang Chi has that in spades, as do more than a few of the post conversions I've been looking at. Apparently that is something that cannot be fixed in post.

What's really weird is how they were impressed by the 3D of Titanic, when the reviews of its time praised it for being a film that made you forget you were watching 3D.

I do wish that 3D glasses that could optionally only show one eye's view were available. Except for the PlayStation 3D TV ones, they're rare.

Lastly, ReShade is a free program that allows most any PC game to be played in 3D. I've been playing the old game RAGE that way, and it looks stunning. Linus mentioned Nvidia 3D Vision (RIP) but not alternative solutions.

All in all I'm glad they made the video, and maybe it'll lead to some TV makers slapping that polarization layer back onto some OLEDs, and/or projector manufacturers finally enabling 4K 3D.
