monoman Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 hiany body ever been to a 3D cinema? remember those stupid glasses with the red a green lenses? well phillips has announced the arrival of a new 3D TV in your own home sometime in late 2007/2008, eliminating the need to wear 3D specs. also it is posiible to veiw the TV at a fairly wide range of angles while still retaining the 3D effect.I first saw this in a gadget magazine called 'stuff' in UK, and have since been looking for decent info about it on the web. I found this website for anyone who is interested: www.business-sites.philips.com/3dsolutions/3dtechnology/DisplaySignalProcessing/Index.htmlif anyone has found more info about this on the web please post it. Another gadget relating to TV's which grabbed my attention was ambilight TV's, a less recent innovation but still quite intriging. (link below).http://www.research.philips.com/technologies/syst_softw/ami/ambilight.htmlp.s. I have also heard these are good for reducing eye strain and headaches during long periods of veiwing.what are your opinions?monoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToLunch Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I'd rather have smell-o-vision. That way, when I watch Food Network, I can get extra hungry. I'd have to turn it off for "Dirty Jobs", though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 8lectronic Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Well, 3D TV sets have been flooding the market in the past few months - I believe most still come with glasses though (?). Personally Im skeptical of these. I dont think the effect is all that great...and Im a bit worried the strain it may cause on the eyes (especially long-term). The ambilight TV sounds much better in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Of course you must use special glasses with 3D TV.The recording was made with a left eye picture and a right eye pcture. The pictures alternate very quickly so you don't notice. The glasses are sync'd to the alternating pictures so that the left eye sees only the image recorded for the left eye and the right eye sees "guess what".Without the glasses the screen is just a blur.

Hero999 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I doubt that's the case audioguru, may be for the older systems but not for the new.Modern systems don't rely on active glasses, they use differently polarised light for left and right channels and the glasses are just polarising filters (poloroid) with opposite filtering for left and right channels.Even newer 3D TVs won't need silly glasses because they have lenses which focus the light for the left and right image into the viewer's respective eye.http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/mar/10/3d-television-without-glasses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Philips don't sell TVs in Canada anymore.LG (Korean formerly called GoldStar) might also not be available in Canada.Sony had a worldwide release of their new 3D TVs about 1 month ago. Each set comes with 2 pairs of glasses but they don't say if they are active or passive.Cnet http://news.cnet.com/3d-tv-faq/?tag=contentMain;contentBody says that 3D movie theaters use polarized glasses and 3D TVs use active LCD shutter glasses.

ardian Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 TV manufacturer Samsung recently announced that it will be including automatic conversion software - TriDef, developed by DDD - in all of its new 3DTV sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 I recently saw a demo of the Sony 3D TV. The glasses are active LCD and switch off each eye half the time which makes everything look dim at half brightness.The 3D effect is Mickey Mouse for kids.

RKMichael Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Saw Avatar on a 3D tv...not that impressive oh and the 3D only works on 3d dvds so now if I want to buy the tv I have to replace all of my blu ray movies if I want to watch them in 3D. I am still interested to watch a football or basketball game on a 3D tv. Has anyone watched sports on the 3D? Were you impressed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 3D sports will work only if the camera is on the field and is close to the players.Oh, it works with sports in cartoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogo2520 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 My Son and his wife took me to see Tron in 3D last week the special effects were good but the 3D was really not all that noticeable. I took my glasses off hafe the time to see if there was a big difference, not really. gogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.brooks Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm not like 3d Technology .3D technology tricks the brain by showing the left eye one image and the right eye another. The brain layers these images together to produce a 3D image. For the latest 3D movies, polarizing glasses filter different images for each eye. In 3D TV sets, battery-powered active-shutter glasses open and shut many times a second in sync with the TV image to show each eye a different picture.

chris333 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 In my opinion the 3D TV market will grow in future. I've been to the cinema to watch some 3D movies and there are all great. maybe in future it will be possible to see 3D movies without glasses. but now its ok. i really like it.

audioguru Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 If you have two eyes and they both work then 3D TV does not trick your brain. Your brain NORMALLY uses both eyes to see EVERYTHING in 3D.A good 3D movie is made with two eyes (two cameras) just like you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris333 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 the trick is that a flat plane (of the TV) becomes a virtual room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shweta Gupta LG Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 LG is Wonderful TV my brother in law bought one last month and I have used it a couple of times to explore the smartness of this model. 3d PQ was great, glasses were quite comfortable and even good looking. Built-in WI-Fi helps a lot to connect with home networks and work flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
