Re: 3D boxes

Shutter glasses have been available for some time for PC monitors and a number of flight sim enthusiasts have used them. They do need to be controlled either wirelessly or wired.

Search the forums in the various flight sim web sites for users impressions.

However I would have thought that the passive polarised glasses would be more convenient provided the image quality is good.

Re: 3D boxes

Been discussing this further with the old man lol

Sony Panny and Samsung are behind shutter glass 3d these are the 3 best tv manufacturers in the world

Apparently there are 3 different lenticular formats in the war sky being one of them

The TV to view Skys offering will have to have polorizing filters built into the screen meaning A. Viewing angles are poorer B. the backlights will need to be brighter ergo more energy needed

From what I can assertain the shutter glass method would only require the mechanism that sends the information to the shutter glasses and a 100hz and above screen the rest is standard meaning the screens need only be say a grand at a guess. Yes you will need a new blu ray player and pvr but this can still be done under the 2.5 grand. Woopie doo LG are gonna be the first with a tv for 2 grand lol Hitachi to follow

Sony and Samsung are releasing their versions around the same time but they are using LED backlight models so early TVs are expected to be 3 grand but there will be cheaper models as led backlights are not obligatory for this tech. They are also releasing blu ray players at the same time

Panasonic demoed Avatar at there 3d shutter glasses expo and for me its where the movie industry goes that matters. Ok we could watch a bit of sport on Sky for 30 quid a month in 3d but id rather be able to watch movies and if shutter glasses win the movie scene Sky can go sing

Quote:
Though all the different manufacturers' sets will receive the Sky 3D broadcasts, there is no agreement on the technology used in the sets. While LG is adopting the cheap polarising dark glasses, Sony and Samsung are using active shutter technology.
I know who id rather have make my main TV

Re: 3D boxes

The PS3 helped win the last format war for Bluray.

Now the new 3D bluray specification has been specifically designed, it appears, to make sure that PS3's will need only a firmware upgrade to be able to run 3D bluray disks.

Given this one it would be hard not to assume that whatever kit works best in 3D with the PS3 is going to come out the winner? Remember there are 3D games, such as avatar, available now so Sony have a head start on recruiting the early adopters.

---------

Also I can see this possibly driving the use of projectors in the home over TV's. You can get 3D ready HD projectors for a lot less than a grand so we could have the situation where a 3D projector and huge screen costing less than a 3D TV.
