3d

Just wondering who else here is missing out on the 3d experience. First off bloody films and now seems some games/TVs also now. Oh well just hope if it ever does kick in they will do non 3d versions!!

If Its anything like I remember "Jaws 3D" then its nothing to worry about.....

It'll never get that big, I wouldn't worry. And if it's really worth watching, I'm sure they'd create a non-3D version.

I think it's just a gimmick at the moment, half of these films I doubt I'd bother paying money to watch if it wasn't for the fact it was simply in 3D.

Hope so just hate to think in ~20 years everything could be in 3D and I'd have nothing to watch!

i'm gonna take a massive guess and say that's because you wear glasses and 3d on top of normal glasses doesn't work?

Nope. Only see one eye at time/have "a squint" (apart from very occasional times) so can't do 3D glasses as they need you to look though both at once. Very lucky though as roughly 50% of people like me cant ride bikes/drive cars due to it!

The problem I have is that I can't actually use the 3D glasses due to wearing my everyday glasses. I tried to put them over the top, but if I dare to even breathe they slip down.

what about the new 3d stuff that works by flicking one lense of the glases closed at a time in sync with the tv?

or that zalman 3d monitor iirc that doesn't use any glasses.

They look awesome and apparently are very good. This is the way forward. 3d will be big, when technology and price improve.

The price thing is only due to not being in mass production as well; when it becomes mainstream the extra cost will be minimal.

Viewing angles are also an issue.

The zalmans are also meant to have a good viewing angle. I think someone should buy one and report back. As this is only what I've read.
