OT, Will You Buy a 3D T.V.?

I don't even own a HD TV. I think the idea of home 3D TVs is stupid. Sure you'll get the occasional product that might offer a great 3d experience but most of it would likely be garbage. At best it's a feature people will be able to turn off when they realize they just want to watch something.

I'll wait till OLED technology comes out, which will probably be the next biggest innovation for TV's

It's awesome, just watch!

Exactly. OLED IMO is the future for TV's, and all screens in general really. It's so thin, uses moderate power, better res, etc...Just makes it perfect as a TV.

I have a 61inch samsung led tv and i barely use the 3d function...i hate wearing the dam glasses and when gaming it feels like i have to put extra effort into stuff...its hard to explain but its just easier playing in 2d...fallout 3 was the only game i played the whole way thru in 3d and it was a crazy experience.

I don't think it will take off and I also have no interest in having to wear special glasses to watch TV.

When they become affordable, then yeah I guess.

No way.

Well, first of all I'm broke.

Second, if you have to wear glasses, no way.

Most likely not for a looooong time, I don't care for 3D.

Whats the requirement for an LCD to be able to do 3D with shutter glasses? Is it just the 120hz+ refresh?

Only when they become affordable.

Absolutely not. I don't enjoy watching 3D programming at all, and won't waste my money on a 3D television.

No. First of all, the cheapest 3D tv is ten thousand ****ing dollars. Second of all, those damn glasses are hell for my eyes.

Most certainly not for movies. If the manage to do cool stuff with video games... maybe. I'd have to fall in love with it though.

What's the difference between a 3D TV and a 3D Ready TV? Does one require an additional add-on?

As for me, I don't care for 3D at all. I'm inthe market for a TV, but unless the one I get just happens to be 3D capable, the answer's no.

I hate 3D. 3D games, 3D movies, 3D TV, 3D anything. 3D is just a cheap trick used to wow you over and make you not pay attention to bad direction or acting or story telling. It's just eyecandy and crappy eyecandy at that.

Also didn't we already have the 3D fad before? Guess it's time for the fad to make a comeback before once again falling into "Who cares about 3D?"

Sure will, I'm due this year to buy a new TV so I may as well get one that will be future proof.

Im 18 and all I have to say is, I won't buy one, my wife will ;).

[QUOTE="mattbbpl"][QUOTE="Dark__Link"] Apparently any 120-Hz LCD TV is 3D capable, but only if you have special shutter glasses. They sync with the refresh rate of the TV, and black out one eye every other frame. So in one second, your left and right eyes have seen 60 different frames each, and when you put them together in an alternate fashion... voila, you get a perception of depth and thus a rudimentary 3D effect.Dark__Link

[QUOTE="Dark__Link"]

[QUOTE="mattbbpl"] So what's the difference between those (like the $900 Mitsubishi DLPs that are 120 Hz and advertized as 3D Ready) and the $10,000 3D TVs mentioned by Theo?mattbbpl

Not a practical solution.

Nope, I never really got into 3-D. IMAX theaters always make me nauseous.

my gaming monitor is 63" and i got it like 6 months ago so i don't *edited* think so

The difference is the 10k+ models dont require any eye-wear? 120hz LCDs are quite affordable. Newer shutter glasses should be pretty cheap and comfortable.

Is that even good for the eyes?

DVD seemed to stick around for a while after getting cheap. The PS2 stuck around longer than it had any business stickingaround, simply because there were so ****ing many people with PS2s who weren't yet willing to upgrade to the "next-gen" (and then the Wii blew everyone's socks off with a cheaper and far less powerful console).

LCD and plasma HDTVs have been around for years now, and I'm seeing a LOT of people saying that they either just recently got their first HDTV, or still haven't gotten one yet. DEspite the numbers of HDTVs out there and how affordable Blu-Ray players have gotten, I still see a LOT of DVDs getting sold at Best Buy or Wal-Mart.

Basically, people can force 3D HDTVs to become the standard, but they're not going to do that until those TVs are affordable enough that most people can buy them. Because just as people did without HDTV because it wasn't worth the cost of upgrading, they're gonna do the same with 3D HDTVs if they get forced as the standard too soon. If they get forced as the standard technology before enough people can afford to buy them, then most people just plain aren't gonna buy them. They'll simply do without, the same way that I make do without a Lexus convertible. And if Lexus convertibles were "the standard" when it comes to cars, then I'd simply buy a bike if all car dealerships started selling only Lexus convertibles.
