Hello!
Ok just bought a 3DTV and will be working on running cables etc through the wall before mounting etc etc.
Any way, i'm just thinking of what 3D film to try out once its ready?
i'll probably get Cars 2 for the kids, but are there any that aren't cheesy horror pirhana eating boobies kind of films. Has anything like the matrix been converted to 3D yet?

Also any recommendations on blue ray players?

What type 3d set ?

best 3d player is ps3, thats what most people use, its what I use. if not get one that matches your tv. Samsung and panny are good. as for the film, I found Rio carnival 3d was brilliant for the "pop out" effects, also if you like bike racing TT3d was very good, when you get a few films, let me know always looking for swaps, ive got about 15 3d films now.

Dr Hu

Avatar?

Despicable Me - child friendly and the 3d effects in the end credits were very funny and over the top 'pop out' on purpose!
(I saw it at pics - presume its out on Blu-Ray)

Avatar is very good if you can get a copy, I sold mine for £55 on ebay lol about a year ago now. apparantly it will be released soon as panasonic no longer have the distribution rights. despicable me is good, also transformers and captain america are ones ive just recently watched, both great.

I have heard that the passive is better but the viewing angles are limited??

Also heard that active gives alot of people headaches??

Don't know if either is true but I am still on the look out for a 3dtv

Bugger, still got my Panasonic freebie copy. Wonder if anyone would still pay that much. Haven't even got round to watching it yet!

dpb

Seen both types now ,

lg or was it samsung passive - entertaining , definitely worth over no 3d - it was a short clip though ( sports ) and glasses were half weight of the specs i wear all the time

plasma active some kind of film , very smooth and detailed but after about a minute whether imagined or otherwise had feeling eyes were being strained - also glasses were on a stand so couldnt feel the weight

So still in a quandary

My brother tells me that Closer to the edge is very good on it. I watched the normal version and i'm not even into bikes and thought it was superb!

dpb

From what i can tell now ( and may have always been the case to some extent ) no brand is that much better than the rest

its just your money

There are loads of action films in 3d but it does not look as good as those I mentioned.

You could watch Thor, Pirates of the Carribean and Imortalls.

Yeah but similar to other 3d films there isn't really a lot of impressive 3d in it. I have about 45 3d films but I have only watched a handfull of them.

Jamo

I have thor, smurfs, tin tin, captain america, transformers, pirates of the caribean (new one) despicable me, narnia, open season, ice age 3, tt3d, plus others cant remember of the top of my head. Cartoons are always way better than films for 3d as they are designed to be 3d.

Coffin, not sure I doubt it mate, I heard it will be general released before the end of the year. get it watched its great.

Titanic 3D is awesome schmuz.

Blu ray downloads are very big, but you can get virtually the same quality with H.264 format video.

I have tried 3d films, but getting them to play has proved a bit of a ball ache (playing them on a PC is no problem, but I wanna watch them on my big 3d TV!). I ended up trying the half SBS ones, but they rarely looked good. I think I would just buy the 3d version if I wanted it that bad, or watch then on Sky 3d.

Geezer

Ant

Sky 3d is SBS

Ant

Blu ray can be anywhere between 25gb to 50fb

A decent 1080p Mkv with a high video bitrate can be between 8-15gb

dpb

All so complicated nowadays isnt it !

Does anybody know about these hdd usb recording slots on tv's - do you really have to be watching the progamme while your recording ( cant quite see the point )

Ant

My Samsung has this function and it's a gimmick. It has to be a powered hdd too .

USB sticks won't work

dpb

Damn thought as much, cheers

Ant

SBS is side by side, if you play the file it'll be one image split, but if played through a 3d tv . The tv merges them and gives a 3D image

And no it won't work on a DVD

Make sure what you download is Half sbs as a full 50gig blueray doesn't work in 3d thru a media player.

Ant

It does. Well mind does tbrough the himedia 900b

I have an AC ryan but there is no option to switch it to 3d bar the tv settings. If it was on a disk I suppose there would be no problem.
