Will 3D Blu make your 2D Blu feel obsolete ? - Blu-ray Forum

dcowboy7 · 03-10-2010, 09:59 PM

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.

42041 · 03-10-2010, 10:01 PM

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.

Dirk504 · 03-10-2010, 10:29 PM

Hell to the no

. I spent too much money on all my EQ. I'll get my 3D fix in the movie theaters.

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"

Semp1 · 03-10-2010, 10:32 PM

No absolutely not. The majority of movies are not meant for 3D. Imagine the godfather in 3D. It would be retarded. Only certain action/teen horror/fantasy movies are good for 3D. On top of that most directors don't want there stuff in 3D. It's a gimmick and should be seen as such. I will get a new 3D display solely because I want a bigger screen and it will have this added feature that I'll use probably less then 10 times a year.

xiquetvlc · 03-10-2010, 10:32 PM

I don´t think so.

the sordid sentinel · 03-10-2010, 10:36 PM

Nope..3D isn't even on my radar screen. It's cool in theaters on occasion but that's where it ends for me.

MCT · 03-10-2010, 10:39 PM

I can't lie, I'd be interested in 3-D, but I'll wait til the first gen of sets are out of the way and the technology becomes even more refined before I jump into that game. I like watching 3-D movies in the theaters, but it only works for certain movies. Now it seems like every film "has" to be in 3-D ever since that movie with the blue Native American mutant monsters hit it big, and it's starting to feel gimmicky IMO.

so no...I'm good with 2D for a long, long while.

42041 · 03-10-2010, 10:39 PM

According to the front page news, 3D TVs are being rolled out in Best Buy today... anyone see one in their local store by any chance? I'm itching to go check it out in action...

nycomet · 03-10-2010, 10:40 PM

I'm not upgrading to 3-D.

I'll wait for 4-D. Theme parks use 4-D quite often. That experience includes the use of fog, fire, chilled air, wind blast, vibrating / moving seats and sometimes water.

When my TV can do all of that to me -- for a decent price -- then I will go for it and never, ever have to go to Universal's Islands of Adventure again.

Propellarhead9 · 03-10-2010, 10:41 PM

I don't think it will for me

ManUtd · 03-10-2010, 10:42 PM

Of course not.

Vicon · 03-10-2010, 10:46 PM

Used to be against it, but I would like something NEW on the TV front. Flat panels were the start. HD was the next thing. However, 3D is going to be welcome. As long as it works like it should.

Panasonic is making it happen and I can't wait to try it out and see how it is. Will it make my regular movies suck? Nope. 3D is just another level

Snake Plissken · 03-10-2010, 10:47 PM

Right now, the bulk of the 3-D movies and movies they are retrofitting to 3-D all seem forced.

Yeha-Noha · 03-10-2010, 10:48 PM

No, they sure won't.

I am not getting 3D TV that requires wearing special glasses. Paying $3k - $4k for that crap is ludicrous. I wear glasses. Glasses don't work well over glasses. They don't fit right, they are combersome, and uncomfortable.

It looks like I'll be enjoying my 2D Blu-ray collection for many years to come.
