3D TV

[Hopkirk]

Is it the big future, or a short term fad?

[Baldric]

I recently bought a new TV, 50" full HD but not 3D, I dislike wearing glasses at the best of times, so certainly not for watching TV.

its fab as everything is in 3d. I can view skynews now and 3d is like being in the boats

[Frank97]

I'm yet to be sold on the idea, although I can't see it going away. I think when you no longer need to put on special specs it'll take of, just my opinion of course!

[Frank97]

take off

IMO short term fad,only have to look at what is actually shown on TV in 3D add that to the fact that you can now purchase a 42 inch 3D full HD TV for under £400 and there is your answer,also reports of headaches when watching in 3D. I class myself as a gadget man but never been tempted to purchase one, sure there have been big improvements recently in 3D televisions but just can't see it catching on big time. IMO.

Having said that, the five year guarantee on my Sony is up next year so I'll probably look into it more closely then!

[tamborine]

my Sony gives the choice of 3d. Glasses are light but not for sleeping in

[Hopkirk]

D97x7, do you change your TV just because the guarantee is up?

[Frank97]

No not especially, if I'm honest it's just an excuse to up-grade to something hopefully better!

Hi Hopkirk! As of now, we can say that 3D TVs have great promise but for sure it would be common in the future. In fact LG unveiled theirs, as stated here http://www.techyv.com...s-unveiled-its-3d-tv.
Thank you!

I looked at a 3D TV once in a shop, and I thought it was an interesting gimmick.

You can hardly just leave the TV on as you walk around doing everyday chores.

I predict it will never crack the big market.

I for one am not in the least bit tempted.

I hear that even in cinemas, much of the audience is selecting the cheaper 2D version of films.

DILaw & g'kids wear specs and get distorted vision with 3d

[deggers316]

no not for me ive had various viewings of these and not convinced at all and if you want a 3d dvd you have to buy a 3d player not up grading my my blu-ray player for this "gimmick2, when its perfected to its max then i'll look at them, many years hence, but hey we've got super hi deff on the horizon lol
