I thought this was different, in that it just alternated 2 normal images, and the shutters in the glasses synced with the images. Much more tech involved there than simply polarizing a couple lenses. Those have no need to sync with a display and probably cost 10c to manufacture. Hell, movie theaters only charge an extra 2 bucks for em.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong, Engadgeteers (reminds me of the Rocketeer.. I like it). I do agree though that the price is way too high for widespread adoption, even if the glasses were all you had to buy. AND, even if they are more expensive than $20 to manufacture, I'm willing to bet they are getting a full 100% profit off each one... Cause there's no way they cost more than $75 to manufacture... And that's just crazy. ]]>Feb 26th 2010 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/Feb 26th 2010 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/Feb 26th 2010 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/Feb 26th 2010 1:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/
I hope NVIDIA releases some sort of app, even if I have to pay for it, to convert my downloaded 2D TV shows to 3D. I'm sure my video cards could handle it.

Regarding your comment, I'd say the technologies are too different to compare. I mean, I have a Samsung 3D monitor, the 2233RZ, but NVIDIA just provides the the video rendering for 3D. Samsung really just outputs the video it's fed. The 2D to 3D conversion is a pre-set, purpose built piece of silicon, I am willing to bet. It doesn't really have to render anything, just using light to determine what is closer and further away.]]>Feb 26th 2010 1:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/Feb 26th 2010 1:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/Feb 26th 2010 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/Feb 26th 2010 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/

Then add the shutter effect and things aren't looking as vibrant as they could do.

They need to develop glasses that at least start clear to reduce the dimming effect.

If you hapen to be nearing the end of a law degree I reckon start preparing to lead the class action that's coming from this crap. Cause when the migranies, vomiting, eye strain, focus damage and longer term damage to the visual processing of the brain start to roll in over the next 5yrs.

Yawn, yeah I can see how the article is all about 3D without glasses, I am, YAWN, totally aware of accessory-less 3D. Sharp was actually the first to market (TMK) with a laptop that didn't need glasses a few years ago now. Wads

as for the comparison to TV and film, how clever for you not to understand the difference in the issues. Film and TV are a non issue, though perhaps your autisum was caused by being left in front of one for the first few years of your life.

As for no lawsuits, well the epilepsy inducing pokemon episode saw a rapid reversal in light of lawsuit potential.

Glasses based 3D is an ill conceived gimmick to drive a purchase refresh of TV hardware. So yeah whip out and buy up so you can do it all again in 3-5 years.

Now ponder that little baby without glasses on being left in front of the 3DTV for the first year of it's life. Or ponder how having your focal length force modified wihout it actually changing for like say oh 4-8 hrs a day like the average TV blob might have a slight impact. I could go on but if you didn't get it in the first place the you won't get it now.

Troll, my ass, i made a totally on topic, non flaming comment about dumb ass 3D glasses and the stupid Korean broadcasters who have said they will convert to 100% 3D this yea r to support the equally dumb ass Samsung who I hope get mashed for caring more about a forced upgrade cycle than the health of their customers.]]>Feb 28th 2010 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/Feb 26th 2010 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/
Yeah same here. Plus putting on glasses to watch TV? Nahhhh. Fair enough you see something special in 3-D like Avatar. But ice-skating???

Plus, I don't care what anyone says, that new stand looks terrible. Samsung's current range looks gorgeous.

Kind of like the square one shown on the samsung plasma here:

And early reviews are looking like the PQ is better with the just top and bottom lighting, so maybe samsung figured something out that works better. This explains a bit more about it:

Anyway, $150 for a pair of glasses, so $600 for a family is simply an outrage. Some day I expect TVs to pack at least one pair into the box and for them to cost $20-30 bought separately. When that day comes we might see 3D actually getting close to being mainstream.

At the moment its strictly for early adopters who want to buy half-implemented and expensive 3D kit to play a measly selection of content.]]>Feb 26th 2010 6:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/
You will have to remember to turn the 3d off and on and remember to put your glasses off an on.

Fuck that.

I imagine after a bit of time, those that actually do buy these will eventually just leave the 3d off entirely. Mainly because they lost their fucking glasses. Again.

I honestly don't get why the manufacturers suddenly believe after all the proven busts of 3d for one reason (the glasses), that people are going to suddenly be ok with the glasses. Why?]]>Feb 26th 2010 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/Feb 26th 2010 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/samsungs-new-3dtvs-get-an-early-eyes-on-through-150-shutter-g/
