1) The Samsung sets (somehow) make a 3D picture out of a standard 2D input. I know it will not be *as* good, but reviews of it seem that it is useful and worthwhile.
Presumably it guesses:
"In focus = mid depth"
"out of focus towards top of image = far away"
"out of focus towards the bottomw of image = near to camera"
It will then "lassoo" these and apply an appropriate "shift" in each of the images presented to your eyes to add the depth which it has guessed at. I can't see it being much more clever than that, but I'd love to know how it works if it is cleverer than that.

2) Gaming. There's already 3D games out on the PS3, and Gran Turismo next month is the first really big title to use 3D.
Get the F__K in. This is what 3D will be all about in the next couple of years before there's much on TV and Blu-Ray. As said, new Gran Turismo is 3D, plus next Call of Duty will be (the one after Black Ops).

Notice how _ALL_ X360 and PS3 games are HD? No one really notices anymore because it's so quickly become standard. The fact that there's very little other HD content doesn't fuss me too much, I just rent the odd Blu Ray. But gaming's where it's at.

Got my pan 10 days ago, watched the golf - superb - its hard to describe but i was underwhelmed by HD and i see 3D as a HD+ sort of thing - superb pictures from Sky.
Sorry I'm a bit slow here.

Are you saying that you watched the Ryder Cup in 3D?
Did sky broadcast it in 3D?
Is it on a dedicated 3d chanel?

I have an HD box, but no 3D TV (yet)
Yes Ryder cup was in 3D - adverts everywhere - impossible to miss wink
Even watched "are you smarter than a 10 year old" last night in 3D just to see how good it was - interestingly they had some 3d and some 2d cameras shooting it.


Scottish footie on next live and LFC match on next weekend 16th

Sky have charged NOTHING more than I was already paying - I just got the TV - lifes too short and sometimes you should just do it as after working and sleeping most people (!?) watch TV the most so may as well make it a good one hey ?

That's made my day.

I'm going to have to bring the 'considered purchase' forward a bit now.
