3D is hot because theaters can sell you 25 cent glasses for $3. It inflates ticket prices, making the 3D movies more profitable. That is the main reason 3D is being pushed so hard. The TV manufacturers see it as a way to cash in too. Add $20 to a TV and charge 25% more.
It is just being viewed as a gold mine. The only movie in 3D that I actually enjoyed in 3D was Avatar.

the panasonic 3d demo was pretty awesome. the glasses are active, you could see them flickering sittng in the storage case. directv vp was interviewed as part of the presenation so they are tightly integrating this. "exlusive" was used to describe the panny dtv partnership. 24/7 channel launch in june. they showed college football, clips from avatar, summer games 08, and stock 3d footage.
I got to see the demo today and it WAS cool, but I remember as a kid watching HD on TV and it looked just as good (ok it wasnt in HD but the 3D effects did look good!), so I cant see why you need a new HDTV for this.
hasnt 3d been around for um 40-50 years now? I recall them being in those drive-thru movie theatres back in the day. its become a fad that comes and goes, but it always goes. I think 3d movies ruin the picture quality tremendously. I highly doubt this catches on i didnt spend a grand on my tv to see less than 20 colors sorry.
No its not.
They want you to buy a new set.
Figures.... At least there still good enough to use with my nvidia card and glasses.
Stonecold There is much info starting with post 13331 here: 2008 Samsung HL61A750 LED DLP owners thread and FAQ - Page 445 - AVS Forum I also have a 3D DLP Sammy and from what I have gleaned it is backward compatible with our sets but maybe at a lower resolution. I speak of the new 3D BD players. D's solution as well as PS3's, is a simple download.
Try this on for size.
Kenny- while the recent release of 3D on blu ray, such as Polar Express are good for 3D effects, you are right that this old 3D system from the 1930's strips quality and color from the image. However, the new 3D using circular Polarization glasses is quite different. The images are looking just as high quality as BluRay HD. Also, the 3D is even more impressive compared to the old anaglyph system ( colored glasses)
Thank goodness we still have time to tell them don't make 3D without glasses please. At least with funny glasses, it forces you to use it ONCE IN AWHILE, and when you are not wearing it, you are back to reality.
With 2D color TV people have already lost touch of reality, living in the "TV reality world", HD only made it worse. One of these days our kids will really have no clue what's fiction, what's real.
And yes I am getting old.
Yeah I have a 52 inch sammy dlp one of the last models before going led 1080i/720p used it 1080i mode with nividia 3d mode with there glasses and then used the tridef glasses with the wireless trans meitter a little wier but it works. Not sure if I ever use it as i get headaches like most other people from watching anything to lung but It would be neat to have a couple 3d ppvs out there .
I got this tidbit today. The second part of the video is a brief on DirecTV 3D. The info presented here is more accurate than the explanations I got on Thursday.
