3D TV - what's different?

Daft glasses, and a means of displaying two pictures at once.
But surely it's not 2 pictures at once?Obviously, it is when they come out the cameras before they are 'joined' together, but surely once they are joined together, they look w
k without glasses and the glasses play with your eyes a bit and make them 3D?Or have I got this totally wrong?
3D porn would be great - apparently it exists - just need the 3D TV now! lol
It's absolutely ridiculous.
When you watch something in rubbish old 2d, do you think, "how weird, all these flat things. I can't tell what's near and what's far away. Has Jenson in his flat McLaren overtaken Webber in his flat Red Bull or the other way around?"
What b******s.
3D was "invented" by the cinema industry to con more money out of the punter and - more importantly - to help prevent copyright infringement.

Ok, for some reason, I'm getting the rather odd feeling that Hackney is somewhat against 3D TV.
That doesn't answer my question though!! :P
I had a look at 3D tv in Best Buy a few months ago, they were playing a demo video, showing things swooshing towards you.That doesn't answer my question though!! :P
Looked quite good, I thought F1 would work in 3D, but looks like I'd just

I film stuff in 3D yet I would not get a 3D TV and have now started taking the kids to the 2D versions of films as it's cheaper and brighter.
It's great that I get the extra work but I am not really impressed with the result.
IMO the display technology is not really there yet. Until we have some kind of true perspective display (holographic or something) it's not going to be mainstream.It's great that I get the extra work but I am not really impressed with the result.

3d TV is run at 120 frames a second, the source is two 30 fps feeds shown twice a second.
So left frame 1 then right frame1 then left frame 1/right frame1 then left frame 2/right frame 2.
The glasses 'switch off' the opposite eye (via fast LCD shutter) so the left eye only sees the left frames etc. This happens so fast you dont notice. But does (IMO) cause issues with fast moving things.
Very true. Currently the effect looks like layers of pop ups, like those kids books or those Gaf Viewmaster things that were popular in the late 60s early 70s when ermmm, I was a kid.
Plus when you have got your 3D Telly home with a couple of sets of specs and the footie is on, what do you do if your mates come round to watch as well. Just let them watch a blurry screen.

I've got one.
The broadcast (for some sports chanel) is two pictures at the same time (on for each focal point).
The TV then alternates between the two pics, and syncs it with some glasses.
I watched some skateboarding championship for about 15mins and got bored.
The effect was okay, seemed to have some sheen or glow around objects (prob due to the lower refresh rate). This gave me a headache after a while, like watching an old CRT screen when sitting too close.
During the day you get reflections on the glasses which makes it hard to watch.
I think it'll be just one of those things that'll get added to all TV's soon. Like HDMI and VGA connectors were, and like WiFi and Cameras are (Skype ready TVs are becoming popular).

While bored the other day I had a play on one of those Nintendo 3d things. Couldn't quite decide whether the affect worked or annoyed! And if they can do it with no glasses why can't a larger screen?
Cost and complexity I'd imagine. But glasses-free 3D tellys are coming... http://www.trustedreviews.com/toshiba-55zl2-glasse...Gassing Station | Home Cinema & Hi-Fi | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
