You get a good Samsung 6 or 7 series, let me adjust the contrast, then tell me the colors are washed out. I often find that with games and HDTV's, it takes some manual adjustments to your picture settings for it to look spectacular. Movies and TV are fine stock.]]>Sep 17th 2009 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/
But big fat CRT, which you generally can't buy in HD, does have the best color gamut, but the others have caught up, just make sure you can get some time with the television on normal settings with your own material, because all HDTVs are not made equal, and they are certainly not all washed out.]]>Sep 17th 2009 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/Sep 17th 2009 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/
Also, sorry if I seem dumb (perhaps I really am :D ) but what's the point of 3D? I don't think it's THAT hot, but then again, last time I saw something with it was a in a movie quite a few years ago, so maybe that's why I can't really recall anything amazing about 3D. Oh well... ]]>Sep 17th 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/

With glasses, the viewing angle is greatly increased. I imagine we may get to the point where you can get a pair of prescription 3d glasses for use with polarized sets. It would be nice if they had them now for use in RealD cinemas.]]>Sep 17th 2009 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/Sep 17th 2009 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/Sep 17th 2009 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/Sep 17th 2009 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/Sep 17th 2009 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/

You can have a very specific "sweet spot" where you see the image the creator intended, since most movies are based on a particular point of view. If multiple layers are used in the image, being outside the sweet spot will have you see things at a different angle than intended. If multiple simultaneous images are used and "aimed" at different eyes, like a lenticular display, you have to have your head exactly where they expect it - within about two inches. Other arrangements could allow for a "lifelike" 3D, as if you are seeing objects floating inside your TV, but that's not how movies are intended.

The other option is that you have to wear something to give you with the intended image. Older systems used red/blue images, so only the intended eye would see the correct image; a blue image seen through a red lens will look dark and solid, while the blue image seen though a blue lens will be (almost) invisible. Some systems use shutter lenses to control which eye sees what picture; this, like the red/blue system, works regardless of the type of image projector, but it requires a precise controller to sync which images are sent when, and which images are seen when. The more popular format for large groups is to use a special projector that can send some light horizontally-polarized and some vertically-polarized; this is combined with polarized lenses, one polarized each way, which will then filter out any light that is not oriented correctly. Other, more exotic options could be tried, like say, a unit that can track the viewersand beam the correct images directly into each eye; the problem is that the unit will be limited on how many users it can track and beam images to, and you probably still have to wear something, like a small IR transmitter for targeting.

Or you could have a cerebral implant that just sends the image directly to your brain...]]>Sep 17th 2009 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/
For example: if the point-of-view is supposed to be from the driver's seat of a car, but the holographic system has the off-center viewer see from the perspective of the passenger seat or dashboard, the result could be quite suspenseful, but it's not what the creator intended. In a horror movie, the intended image could be that the murderer is about to stab you, but due to off-center targeting, you see the murderer aiming beside you or several feet in front of you.]]>Sep 17th 2009 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/
Blurry action is probably largely caused by 12fps per eye - 24fps total, then divided in half.

This would be greatly improved just by going to 60fps, as in true 1080p. I know I don't care for theaters even in 2D and HD, because it's only 24fps and that has visible jerkiness for me.

This TV is supposedly 1000hz, that is, 500fps per eye. There will be (relatively) no jerkiness there. But the guy said that they don't alternate eyes. Their custom programming may push out each line twice, once for each eye, before going on to the next line, effectively sending both images at the same time. This is as compared to displaying each line in order for a single image, then drawing the next image. Though it would seem that most of the visible image would be the image for the second eye, since that will stay up while all the other lines are being drawn. But when the whole thing is being redrawn 500x a second, that may not be a problem, as long as they do some adjustment so that eye doesn't seem brighter or anything.

Or he could just be talking about the 20 images for each eye that gets sent in the time of a single normal frame; while technically still alternating eyes, they are being sent "simultaneously" compared to the slower refresh rate.]]>Sep 17th 2009 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/
Since both images are constantly available (just like real life), pausing the video results in a static 3D image. This is pretty mind-blowing. You can walk around the room and the image is still there, following you around. You can verify for yourself that each viewer gets the same experience. When something moves in close, each viewer feels he can reach out and touch it.

Glasses are only needed to see in 3D, just as listening to stereo audio requires headphones or a suitable position between two speakers. The problem is that our eyes are both in the front of our head, not at the sides. So we need a way of presenting a slightly different view to each eye. I don't "see" a way around that. It's also a fantastic display for watching anything in 2D, though probably bigger than you need.

It is lucky to be the most environmentally friendly technology available as well. The power per inch of viewing area is 1/5th of competing technologies, and an LCD factory is not necessary to build and ship heavy screens around the world.]]>Sep 24th 2009 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/Sep 17th 2009 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/Sep 17th 2009 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/Sep 17th 2009 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/Sep 17th 2009 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/17/hdi-concocts-100-inch-laser-based-3d-hdtv-calls-rivaling-techno/
