Toshiba 3D HDTV - No Glasses Required

youll have to look straight at the tv for the 3d effect, it wont work if your looking from the side

i'll wait until i don't have to sell my kidney to buy one.

Wow, this is crazy. In other news, my mom told me she saw a 3DTV in the paper (I think from HHGregg or something) for less than $1000. I didn't see the ad myself, but I'm gonna investigate :P.

Thanks for mentioning that, I trust your opinion! Was it plasma? I read that plasma is the best for 3D right now.

The price for those glasses are ridiculous lol. Sony Bravia glasses cost $150 though. And the TVs come with 2.

i have not seen them win a head to head yet but it's been 6 months since i have looked at any ratings.

that's the point, Pseudo 3d strains your eyes, people like me are more susceptible to it for some reason. If it was a natrual 3d it wouldn't be a problem but its an illusionary trick. I can't sit watching Pseudo 3d longer then 15 minutes before my eyes hurt, and that's usually the sign I'll have a blinding headache no matter If I leave or not. Alice in wonderland is the only film I was able to force my self to sit through and I had to take the polarized glasses off constantly...an hour after it ended I was throwing up because of Nausea.

Sorry you can't enjoy it. I too would like the 3d improved, but the glasses don't really bother me. The only thing I dislike about 3d in its current for is that it's really 2d images at different depths, so a person is a 2d image against a background that appears further away, but they aren't in 3d themselves.

Every time new tech comes out there are people who can't utilize it for some reason or another. Hell, at the beginning of every video game they still have that disclaimer that if you're susceptible to seizures you should see a doctor before playing. Sucks, but it's always the case. It's never been something I've experienced (being naturally locked out of tech), and I don't look forward to it ever happening, but if it does it wouldn't automatically make the tech bad, just not good for me.

You can get a large Mitsubishi DLP 3D capable TV for pretty cheap, but you have to buy a ghetto setup to integrate 3D, and the technology it uses isn't the best. But if you want a giant 3D TV, you really can get one. Me, I'm getting a Panasonic after sampling all the 3D TVs at best buy. The Panasonic it in a class all its own.donalbane

My fiance is an Optometrist and 3D puts quite a strain on your eyes. Just wait for the technology to mature and get your fix at theatres. Most of us game for many many hours and you to not want to damage your eyes in the long run. Watch in a couple of years when people are experience long term effects from watching too much 3D content at their homes.

But will we need to sit at certain angles and distances to the tv and how much will this cost? If it works fine though I'd prefer this to having to wear glasses.soulitane

In 50 years they'll have actual three dimensional holographic projections... and it might be cool.stiggy321

News flash: 50 years from now is right now.

Haha I found out about it the same way you did. That's pretty good new. I'm not planning on getting a 3D TV anytime soon, but whenever I decide to it's good to know there will be some on the market that won't require glasses.YuriSH

Thats what i need for my ps3 :D

my guess is it won't work as well as the glasses. with vision being so important to your survival it's hard to trick.

it's so easy to notice things in movies like for example when they put fake cold air breath in post production i see it every time the very second it's done.

your brain picks up things like that in a heartbeat and it's hard to fool.

that's why the glasses work as well as they do, the physical part where they manipulate your vision makes the effect work better.

Skimming the article, nintendo did have something to do with it. Reveal of it is soon or something so wait and see.

They had these at CES but they sucked because if you have to sit directly infront of the screen or else it doesnt work

TV war FTL. Plasma, LCD, LED, 3D with glasses, 3D without glasses... what's next? :| killerfist

But is ~$900/$1000 really that bad for a 50" 3D TV? The real problem is that TVs in general are pretty expensive, even 2D ones.

Maybe it will be powered by "Teh Cell" :P

[spoiler] This Toshiba HDTV is powered by the Cell similar spec to what is found in the PS3. The Cell was a joint project by Sony, Toshiba, and IBM [/spoiler]

It's funny but HDMI 1.4 doesn't even make 1080p/120Hz a mandatory output mode. Only 720p. I guess, all things considered, it's rare to find any sort of broadcast or console game running in 1080p. The only time I ever use 1080p on my TV is watching movies.

[QUOTE="NVIDIATI"]

[QUOTE="SakusEnvoy"] The Samsung PN50C490 is a 50" plasma under $1000 that comes with two free glasses. The catch is, though, that it's 720p.

[QUOTE="NVIDIATI"] Some people would sacrifice picture quality for 3D, that makes me sad :(

Is this "No glasses 3DTV" compatible with PS3D games?

While the idea of a no glasses 3D TV is a great idea (more so for myself because I wear glasses when I game) untill who ever produces this tech (depended on Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba ect) will have the massive teething problems of finding the right angles for views, how good they can get the picture qauility and I think the only real time which these sort of 3D TV's are ideal would be around the second generation of hardware.

Yes, 3D is like stereo for eyes, input device sends 2 diffrent picrtures for diffrent eye and don't care what TV will do with it and how it will send 2 diffrent pictures for each eye, thats TV problem,, same as audio devices. 3D over HDMI is a standard so there won't be any compatibility issues with already existing hardware using that standard

That's nothing really surprising. TV innovation tends to come in spurts. As far as I knew, apart from MTS stereo sound and the gradually-growing screen, TV tech stayed pretty much at the same level through the 1980's and 1990's.HuusAsking

Um, that's cool but I like my 720p HDTV from 2006 just fine. :P
