3D TV

Shedhead915 · 09-29-2010, 06:40 PM

Anybody have one? Is it worth it? Bestbuy is running a special $1,799 for the tv, 2 pairs extra glasses, and a 3D blueray player. I'm thinking about purchasing just need some feedback first. Thanks!

infinitekidM2C · 09-29-2010, 06:44 PM

I checked out 3d tv at Sony store..wasnt impressed..

Shedhead915 · 09-29-2010, 06:48 PM

I heard GT5 might have 3D so I was thinking for the price it wouldn't be bad.

klipseracer · 09-29-2010, 07:10 PM

Best advice would be to wait for the next wave of technology. If you are fiending for 3d tv, go buy a 3d monitor for your computer. get a taste of it. Then once:

A: Television Programming catches up

B: Technology catches up.

GoogleTV will be implmented into upcoming tv sets. I'd wait for it. I have a 22" 3d computer monitor with nVidia 3d vision. Its pretty cool but limited use ATM.

Shedhead915 · 09-29-2010, 07:16 PM

I need a new tv anyways. Maybe I'll just get another Sony.

c0nstant · 09-29-2010, 07:20 PM

my uncle has one of those samsung led 3d tvs. i watched monsters vs aliens on it lol, it was actually really cool. the glasses aren't bulky, the image is super crisp and the 3d works really well

Shedhead915 · 09-29-2010, 08:26 PM

I'm thinkg for the price screw it. Any decent tv is going to cost around that much anyways.

infinitekidM2C · 09-29-2010, 08:29 PM

Price isnt bad for the newest technology..but its always dicey being the first in the pool...remember when they included a new format for HD (adding 1080p)? Stuff like that.

Shedhead915 · 09-29-2010, 08:37 PM

True...I gotta figure something out by Friday....goin into a new place....old tv sucks after 6 years.

TMNT · 09-29-2010, 10:21 PM

It will be a passing fad unless the technology really steps its game up.

Get a Panasonic VT series. Not only will you have the best 3D tv, you will have the best 2D tv made today..

Newest GT series converts 2D programing to 3D which the VT series does not.

I'm personally going with the 82" Mitsu 3D DLP.

I have a 55" samsung led 3d tv... I think it is awesome... it also gives you the option to turn on 3d when you want so basically you can watch anything on tv in 3d. I think it is awesome.

+1

3d is so overrated imo and ready for this fad to disappear. But, if you're serious about 3D Plasma is the ONLY way to go. Read everything you can and everything says plasma displays 3d far better than any LED-LCD.

Shedhead915 · 09-30-2010, 02:36 PM

Thanks! I bought a Panasonic VT plasma today. I'll have it hooked up on Friday. If anyone is looking into this tv I'll let you know how it is.

infinitekidM2C · 09-30-2010, 03:00 PM

I have a Plasma Panasonic and love it..i've not seen a better image after setting it up right..

I have two tips before u start using it:

1) make sure to burn it in properly..i used an sd card with different color images and let the tv burn in by having the images displayed in short intervals...check the web.

2) after its burned in and you've watched it for a couple weeks, calibrate it. Either by a professional or based on settings you can find on the internet.

If you do those things ur plasma tv is gonna rock.

Shedhead915 · 09-30-2010, 10:11 PM

Thanks, I have an appt to get it calibrated in like 6 weeks. I'm going to do some research on burning it in.

jlstyle · 10-01-2010, 01:04 AM

Have samsung 3d plasma 7000 series.
3d picture quality is awesome, but never had a good movie to watch in 3d yet.
I got mine with promotion at $1600 with blueray player and pair of 3d glasses.
Very good deal IMO.

JayKay335i · 10-01-2010, 01:52 AM

I Just picked up an LED backlit LCD monitor for my computer. Samsung. That thing is ridiculously crisp, bright, and vivid. Also, it starts up instantaneously. On the other hand, my eyes are burning and I think I'm going effen blind because its so bright.

klipseracer · 10-01-2010, 07:57 PM

'converted' 3d content will not be great. It will have the effect but won't be worth the hassle. Content created with 3d in mind will have a better finish and will be a primary reason for wearing the glasses. The problem is too many people are expecting 3d tv to WOW OMG them. But really it just needs to be another way to watch in order to be successful.

RealID has lisenced their tech so that tv's will now do the stereoscopy and active glasses aren't necessary. Eventually we can just wear the disposable theatre versions. Don't buy yet!

Shedhead915 · 10-01-2010, 10:49 PM

I just played The Show 3D demo and it was great. I'd recommend it just for gaming alone.
