3DTV

Is there anybody out there that owns a 3DTV?
I would like to know if you like it or not.
I donot know anything about the 3d except they are coming out this month or
should I stick with the Samsung UN55B5800.
Thanks for any input that you might share with us.

They latest cost $3k and use battery op goggles that blink.
I'd rather see Real3d in the the-ater.

I have one, Mits 65" DLP.

There is NOTHING to watch. Zip. Nada.
Literally the only sources come from your PC.

3D TV is still too new. There just isn't any programing to watch. Samsung
gives you 1 movie as does Panasonic. How many times can you watch it? I'd
wait until next fall when 3D titles start coming out and Directv has their
3D channel up and running (And maybe ESPN). Until then, you're spending a
lot of money for nothing to watch.

3D in the theatre never took - instincts say that TVs will follow the
same trail; understood that one has to look right-on, perpendicular to
the screen; effect falls sharply off-axis. Anyone reading this-
comments welcome

have you not been to the cinema in the last 3 years?
at this moment, 3d is a success - not to say it will remain so, but right
now, it's there, it's selling and you can sit where you like.
if 3d films continue at the cinema it follows that that's what you'll be
able to see at home.

You coments above are true of the old 50s style 3D. Today with Real D and
others using circular polarization, you can move your head anyway you want
and the 3D remains constant. The glasses are also much more comfortable.
If your in a theater using XpandD, the system uses glasses with lenes synced
to the pojector and again, head movement in not a problem. This type of
system is being employed with 3D Tv. There have been many 3D films released
in theaers over the past couple of years and all have been sucessful. Think
Avitar.

You are right - have a biased eye. Don't laugh: have not seen Avitar
yet. (Wfie has bone cancer - sitting in a theatre is not for us right
now - thus movies are home-based..DVDs) Will open my mind - maybe
even step into Best Buy and see what it is all about.

Sorry about your wife, I too have bone cancer, in semi-remission I hope
for now.

From what I've read, 3D TVs just came out this week. If you're in USA the
larger Best Buy and Sony theater stores should have some 3D TVs for you
to watch as well as some "3D content" on the TVs.

You have to have the manufacturer glasses for the 3DTV to work. They
synchronize to shut/block the "L" or "R" eye of the glasses in time with
the 3DTV or movie. Early adoptions, pay early prices.
