lol, anyone recall the articles where the movie industry was crowing about how much $$$MONEY$$$ they were going to make from 3D films? Turned out to be a bust??
a Bust? from most things I've read, 3D films are doing really well for them, $$$ wise.
It's not a glowing testimonial, it's a report of personal and hands on experience with....
Ahhh, my bad....I thought you said you didn't have a 3D TV, so I was poking fun at your postitive testimonials of a product you don't own.
I'm glad I saw this Article. I've been saying for a long time that 3D TV is stupid and a waste of money.
Aside from the fact that Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" has 3D but the fact that he's recording the movies in 5k format. 1080P has been around for, what, a decade now? Time to up the resolutions on TV now.
I want better frame rates. TV and movies should be at 60fps, or at least 45.
I thought the 3d cycle was 30 years. Started in the 20's, then got popular in the 50's, 80's, and recently again.
"stupid glasses which are not cheap" What do you call not cheap", 1 pair from Amazon for 60$ or 2 pair from samsung in korea including shipping, for the same price.I guess if you jump in your car and go to your local retailer they might be expensive.
Try living on $12 an hour. Having 6 or 7 pair laying around so friends can come over and hang out and watch movies ain't cheap.
You'll see the first 4k and 8k barely past prototypes at CES 2012. I'm more excited about those by far vs any of this "3D" garbage.
So I feel the same way in terms of "poking fun" at comments of stuff that people don't own and have barely used.
That is the problem in general, 98% of the planet doesn't care about the techology enough to buy a 3D TV. Hence the article explaining why no one is buying the TVs.
Whether the are right, wrong, smart stupid, watched one movie or hundreds....no one is buying 3D TVs. The technology has had decades to be fine tuned and still, no one (aside from us tech-nerds) is interested.

I like a world that allows people to make a choice.
Price premium arguments are so 2010.
evilsofa said:"All the pressure for the 3D "revolution" is coming from content producers that have convinced themselves that 3D will save Hollywood (instead of better story writing). Accordingly, they've engaged in magical thinking by assuming that if they film it, the technologies to display it will magically perfect themselves in the market. As a result, they have driven full speed over the cliff of "nobody wants to wear goofy looking glasses that give them headaches".
To each their own bu I have yet to see anything in 3D that is clear and crisp and the 3D effects look fake and the vast majority of people I know feel the same way. If given the choice I always watch in 2D. If it were something more than a hokey gimmick 3D would have taken off by now.Maybe the couple of things that you have seen in 3D with the technology that you used looked terrible. I watched two 3D movies over the holidays, The Smurfs and Kung Fu Panda 2 using my sig rig and completely enjoyed them, 3D added a lot to the enjoyment, my wife and I particularly liked Panada 2, and I wouldn't have wanted to watch them the first time any other way. I don't have a 3D TV because honestly even though the screen is small I think my setup works better than any 3D TV I've seen in a store.

3D TVs? Heck, most people don't even have blu-ray players yet nor do they care about them. The adoption is so slow. There are still too many DVDs everywhere.
I've seen a ton of 3D and have yet to see anything worth while. Avatar, Monsters vs. Aliens, Tron, Green Hornet, Jackass....feel free to suggest something to change my mindAnd again my point is that not all 3D content and technology are created equal.

There is plenty of thatBecause there are no 3D porns?
