Still, a taste of what's 'coming soon' perhaps.

There's a Chuck 3D thread? I couldn't find one using the forum search facility and '3D' is too small a keyword to search with. I did find the Chuck thread but that hasn't had any activity since May.
I personally really enjoy the show, best thing on TV at the moment.

The thread.

Went into Harrods in London today and they had a LG 3DTV without the need for glasses, insanely cool effect, might have just been there test video but the screen needs a higher "Hz" as you could notice it refreshing on the scenes with more movement. 3D material was coming from a standard LG Blu-ray player.

And how much were they charging for that?

I took my sister in law in there today and noticed that as well. Couldn't see the effect though.

Ah! I saw the 'Test your Chuck 3D Glasses here!!!' thread but thought it was just that - a demo of the technology which I had already tried.

Thanks, I'll have a look later.

Well it's conspicuous by its absence in Catch Up TV On Demand but will undoubtedly turn up in TV Choice On Demand once series three starts airing.

Perhaps your eyes are too close together!

No offence intended Clarence.

It may just have been where you were standing. According to the article http://www.cgeye.net/2008/11/full-hd...chnology-9000/ ...

There’s one problem: move your head just slightly to one side and the 3-D effect can slip frustratingly out of focus. The viewer must sit in one of six zones - or “sweet spots”; move between zones and the effect blurs. For a fully fledged couch potato, that level of immobility might not be too taxing, but for a fidgety film-watcher like me it was distracting. (Philips says its new Quad Full-HD screen has bigger sweet spots, which should reduce the problem.)

What does a 3-D TV look like? Like a standard flatscreen television. However, it actually sends out not one but multiple views. As long as you’re sitting in one of several “sweet spots” within a 135-degree viewing angle, each eye will pick up a separate view. This effect mimics the angular differences produced by a three-dimensional object and fools the brain.

The clue is in the "Flanders" bit.

It's for Belgium.
