The shutter-glass approach is the simplest to implement because their current 240Hz panels along with HDMI 1.4 should be able to handle it. But in the future expect the shift to polarized glasses as the technology develops.]]>Dec 21st 2009 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/Dec 21st 2009 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/Dec 21st 2009 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/Dec 21st 2009 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/
I asked the manager if the extra cost was JUST for the glasses and he told me yes....so when I said alright then, we have our own, he looked at me like I was stupid then said "well we can't really discount it as its programed into the registers that way". So either he didn't know what he was talking about OR he was full of shit.]]>Dec 21st 2009 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/
LG on the other hand is actually selling screens in Korea that use Polarized glases, though I haven't heard whether they use the same polarization specs as the RealD glasses you get at the movie theater.]]>Dec 21st 2009 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/I guess you haven't seen many movies then, or caught Dances With Wolves? Because Avatar is pretty much a remake of that movie.

Avatar was *okay*. Best movie ever of course, still belongs to The Godfather.

My favorite movie so far this year? A tie between The Hurt Locker and District 9. Haven't seen Up In The Air yet, though I hear it's excellent.]]>Dec 21st 2009 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/Dec 21st 2009 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/Dec 21st 2009 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/Dec 21st 2009 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/
This is Shutter technology which is much cheaper for the TV manufacturer to produce, just requires a different processing board that can handle 120Hz inputs and a blinking infrared LED on the front of the screen. Polarized takes a different, far more advanced screen, and will be less common in the home.

In other words, this likely has nothing to do with the technology that goes by the Label RealD that you have experienced in the movie theater, so any comparisons about brightness, etc. are worthless. ]]>Dec 21st 2009 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/
ALL 3D systems cause a loss of at least 1/2 the brightness.due to the fact that you are blocking 1/2 of the light all of the time.]]>Dec 21st 2009 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/Dec 21st 2009 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/Dec 21st 2009 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/Dec 21st 2009 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/
I don't think the expensive end of the deal should sit around the house to be stepped on or lost.

I'd much rather pay more for the TV, and not have to worry about dropping a $2 pair of Polarized glasses.]]>Dec 21st 2009 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/
I like to think of it in the birthday party scenario. Most 3D movies are animated movies, you know for kids. Well now I envision someone inviting 10 sugar hyped kids over for 3D showing of whatever the latest Pixar movie is.

3D TV requiring Shutter glasses = TV priced $200-300 more than a non 3D capable set (obviously they will be phased in, and eventually there won't be a non 3D capable version), and then $100 per pair of extra glasses beyond the initial pair. Total cost of 3D investment for 10 kids to watch is $1100 - $1200. And $1000 of that investment is sitting on the faces of a bunch of unruly kids.

3D TV requiring Polarized glasses = TV priced $1000 more than non 3D sets. Glasses $3 pair. Total 3D investment $1027, $27 of which is sitting on the kids faces. No batteries to keep charged or replaced.

So yeah, for one or two people Shutter works, for large groups, Polarized makes more sense. The part that I find most frustrating is that polarized don't work with Plasma (my preferred screen tech). Of course I don't see why OLED wouldn't work with Polarized, so there is hope.]]>Dec 21st 2009 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/Dec 21st 2009 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/

This is basically a dust collector waiting to happen... I cant sit and watch anything with glasses on my face...

As they have clearly of late completely run out of original ideas (e.g., Sherlock Holmes.... then The Young Sherlock Holmes... soon to be followed by Sherlock Holmes vs. Predator etc), all they have to do now is re-make all their re-makes, again.

Give me holograms!

I refuse to sit for migraines and stupid glasses when watching TV at home. 3D Imax in theaters is one thing. 3D HDTVs *are* a stupid cash grab gimmick, with a technology that's still barely beyond the red and blue glasses phase.]]>Dec 21st 2009 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/Dec 21st 2009 8:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/sony-teams-up-with-reald-for-3d-headaches-in-the-home/
The glasses produce the best 3D currently possible, makes anaglyph a joke. And the new technologies do a very good job of giving us true color 3D. No, it's not as nice as just watching 3D straight from the TV, but we don't have holograms working quite yet. :p

And with the new Blu-ray 3D spec, different TVs can use different technologies. You won't have to get shutter glasses if you don't like them (though many people have said they -- Panasonic's -- produces the best 3D).

You don't have to buy a 3D TV if you don't want it. All Bllu-rays will have 2D -- even the 3D ones. So instead of complaining, just buy what you want and go on. Let the rest of us enjoy a very impressive step in home theater technology... glasses and all!
