dmartora: is certainly not like being at the movies, but then very little is when you're watching on TV

That's my view of present flat screens. I had projectors for many years, with a standard 100" screen size and that really did produce the wow factor.
My family and friends think I'm being silly/rude when I don't find 50" or 60" TV's particularly large or capable of producing of 'that cinema feeling'.
geocom: First of all I actually like 3D content.
The only 2 issues I have seen are.
1. Active glasses should have never been invented they have some real problems and cost a fortune but most early 3d TV's came with these.
2. There are people who cannot view 3d my grandparents for one could not see any difference. Although the same thing could be said about stereo audio.
Mighty Ape have a selection of 3d Blu-Ray disks as well. If you want to watch a amazing 3d video then watch ww2 in 3d.
4K content is going to have some major issues.
4K files are going to be huge. 3d is 2 HD screens. Where as 4k is 4 HD screens worth of data.
Freeview are highly unlikely to start 4k streaming as you can sell 4 different channels for the same amount of bandwidth in HD. Even less likely on Sky and a snowballs chance in hell on sat freeview.
ruben999: Hi everyone,
Is 3D TV taking off?
Are there any channels that support 3D? In the near future?
Do all new movies (that are 3D in the cinema) come out on 3D Blueray/DVD?
If No, how do I justify buying a 3D TV? I know its only a few hundreds more, but I just dont see the benefit.
And I wont even get started on those silly glasses :).
Thanks guys.
Ruben

richms: The problems I have with 3D is at least on my samsung, it sucks. Crosstalk, loses motion plus and the flicker is unbareable.
Tried a friends LG and it ended up like looking thru venetian blinds - horrid experiance but at least no added flicker. His TV was set up with bad motion becasue that's how he likes it, so I have no idea if the LG can keep the processing running while it is showing 3D.
A move to 4K might make the loss of resolution tollerable on the polarizing glasses ones. But I have no idea how many Hz would be needed to get shutter glasses working acceptably.

I use an LG 3D (passive) PC monitor as a 3D TV in one room and have no idea what you're talking about WRT "motion". What do you mean? It just displays whatever is there.
Everything looks fine here.

lchiu7: Well I have a 60" 3D plasma and a few discs but find the experience underwhelming.
But I did see something at CES this year based on 3D technology that could be a useful byproduct. It was dual view from Samsung if I recall.
Basically the TV showed two completely different images viewable as separate images using special glasses. You could switch the view to one or the other image being shown and audio (through little speakers in the glasses) obviously matched the video.
So one person could be watching say an action TV show while the other was watching some prime time soap. So you have some time together without inflicting your programme taste on the other person :-)
