NOLASKINSFAN Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 So these things are supposed to help the failing TV market but honestly they seem kinda lame to me. Maybe, one day when the glasses aren't required. I'll probably use the opporunity to upgrade to a 60+ screen, I imagine those prices will come down.

NOLASKINSFAN Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 how do you propose they do it without some sort of eye-glasses? Personally I have no idea, but I just read this article that says it's possible. http://www.tomsguide.com/us/3DTV-autostereoscopic-CES,review-1490.html Although he probably has no idea either...

GhostofSparta Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 No, but I will be upgrading my TV soon, and I hope this, like most other new technology, will drive down the price of the current generation of technology to a place where I can afford it.

jnhay Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 how do you propose they do it without some sort of eye-glasses? Why are you asking this question?:hysterical: It sounds like they already have preliminary models that do this btw. The viewing angle is a apparently a problem right now as they only work when you are sitting directly in front of the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnhay Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Some guy said you didn't have to buy a 3dTV and that all that 3d mumbo-jumbo could be received by a HDTV Some other guy said that you needed a TV that accepted 120hz, but that today's 120hz TVs don't really do that but double the 60hz stream. I don't know what that means really, or if it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what that means really, or if it's true. you'd need shutter-glasses synced up with the refresh rate of the TV if talking about 120Hz tvs. not sure how you'd sync up the glasses to just any TV that weren't made for it, though.

Springfield Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 After getting back from watching Avatar 3D, I'd have to say that a 3D TV would certainly pique my interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskinzfan30 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 No. I'd like one but I'm getting ready to go into college this year and can't pay that much for a TV. Maybe when they come down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullnelson9999 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Not until the technology is out for a while. As time goes on the 3d technology will undoubtedly improve. Im not about to spend who knows what money on a TV like that yet. Heck, who am I kidding. Im still in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins24 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 At the rate at which technology is progressing, I'd say I'd buy one in about 5 years or so, when they're the norm and not the expensive glitchy new thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejaydana Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Like any emerging technology this seems crazy but may be mainstream within 5 years. The only downside at this moment is the glasses are apparently $100 per pair and so when you have friends over you're going to be the only wearing the shades. Yeah, won't you be popular.

Kosher Ham Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Holographic TV's are just around the corner. I will buy one probably, but it wont be a need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 It is supposed to add $500 to the price of the TV but high end models drop by at least that much each year so it will be a wash for those sets. It will probably become standard on most sets in 2 to 3 years. I am buying a 65" Panasonic plasma with 3d when it ships this spring. I have been holding out on a new large plasma for a while. http://ces.cnet.com/8301-31045_1-10427983-269.html?tag=mncol;txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbear Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 3d television with no glasses coming very very soon: http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/01/11/ces.wrap.up/index.html As for the price of the glasses on the sets that need glasses to work, why wouldn't you just go to a 3d movie and walk out with the glasses? Cost of a 3d avatar movie ticket for me was $11.00. I got a cool movie and a very trendy looking pair of glasses :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I thought I read that if you have a 120hz HDTV that you will be able to watch 3D without getting a new TV. Could be wrong though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeysc23 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 No, I am probably going to let this pass or at least wait 2-3 years. I didn't see Avatar 3d so I don't know what I am missing but it just doesn't seem that intriguing to me. I don't see a big push to 3D unless the gov't mandates 3d only like they did with HD. It sort of forced people down that road that were on the fence about upgrading. I think HDtv is pretty good for the minimal amount of TV. Would it make sporting events that much better? I think already HD is good enough. I am getting LASIK to avoid wearing glasses when I watch TV .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 http://ces.cnet.com/8301-31045_1-10430918-269.html?tag=TOCmoreStories.0 You need a new 3D-compatible TV and glasses The new 3D Blu-ray format uses active shutter 3D glasses and requires one of the new 3D HDTVs that have been announced at CES 2010. Some manufacturers are bundling the glasses with the new TVs, some aren't, and we've heard the going rate for the glasses will be around $100. We don't think 3D Blu-ray will work with older DLP HDTVs that were billed as 3D--or at least not at the full resolution. There is no way I'm paying $100 for a pair of 3D glasses to watch TV!
