It feels like you're looking inside the TV, as if it were hollow, with stuff popping out of it. It reminded me more of those kids' 3d pictures that come in cereal boxes, and it's DEFINITELY NOT something that would make you buy a TV right away.

It's just an extra feature, and nothing more. If this becomes the wave of the future I'll be disappointed because it's not even as immersive as a ViewMaster children's toy.

3D is best left to the big screen, so it looks like you are there in the movie. It's not the same on a TV, whether 50 or even 65 inches. ]]>May 5th 2010 6:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/May 5th 2010 4:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/Wait until no new comments are being added.

3D is the answer to a qn no one asked. The whole thing is a mess -

- incompatible formats and hardware
- there's no content to watch (movies or tv)
- the 1st ed tech is immature

Holographic 3d without glasses is not happening anytime soon, but its way too immature to adopt now.]]>May 5th 2010 4:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/May 5th 2010 4:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/
I'm actually more concerned about content. It's like giving me a Gumpert Apollo that only runs on 98+ octane unleaded whereas only up to 95 is available.

Hell, I have absolutely no idea where I can get 3D content at the moment. I'm guessing 95% of the people who buy 3D TVs will think regular 2D content will automatically 3D because I've personally seen many people return their HDTVs to the store complaining that it doesn't look as good as in the showroom. Mind you, I'm not in the US and HD broadcast isn't available widespread here.]]>May 5th 2010 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/"1 incompatible formats and hardware
2 there's no content to watch (movies or tv)
3 the 1st ed tech is immature"

Let me help you out here...

1 - Not true. There are different methods, side by side, top/bottom and sequential, but within sources its the same standard, some can auto switch between, other times it's just a case of hitting a button to change settings.
2 - Maybe its limited at the moment, but films are being made, and converted, converters are available, and obviously games is a big one. It's still in the "early adopter" stage, more and more will become available.
3 - This is perhaps true. It is difficult to say at this point, we'll just have to wait until theres more sets, more content and what exactly the next standard is and how they compare, convert and are compatible.

Read the HD 101: 3D FAQ on Engadget, I'm sure it'll help a lot. I'm not having a go at you or anything, just trying to help out.]]>May 5th 2010 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/May 5th 2010 5:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/May 5th 2010 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/May 5th 2010 6:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/
Wrong, the Panasonic can saw left and right simply selection this option in the 3D settings menu....

Standardisation is key to everything, the whole industry has dug itself a massive ditch, filled it with sh*t and jumped head first in when it comes to framerates and now they're doing the same thing with 3D, 3D is great and many people enjoy it, it will make a great option on all TV's eventually but why do these companies have to do this, in the end it's probably gonna cost them more.

I dream of a day when these companies can form a standard and agree to a goal on framerates, refresh rates, resolution, wired connectivity, wireless connectivity, 3D technology and so on. By simplifying things it'll work out great for companies and consumers in then end.

Everyone needs to pull their fingers out, cut their losses and move forward, trying to be backwards compattible but without compromising on a unified goal in the near future. The ditch is getting deeper and the companies and industry is pulling us all down with it.]]>May 5th 2010 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/
You can either have the open market decide what is best by getting the early adopters to duke it out and get the products earlier, or you can have the companies bicker behind closed doors and get the products much later.

Either way the standard (whether defacto or official) comes out at roughly the same time. But this way the early adopters at least get to watch 3d tv. And if you complain, then you aren't really an early adopter.]]>May 5th 2010 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/May 5th 2010 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/May 5th 2010 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/May 5th 2010 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/May 5th 2010 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/May 5th 2010 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/May 5th 2010 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/May 5th 2010 11:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/samsung-and-panasonic-3dtvs-use-same-active-shutter-glasses-tech/May 5th 2010 12:05PM
