3D tv question
Curious,
When you buy a new 3D tv, you have to buy a pair of glasses costing from £70 -150+ battery operated as well Yet when you go to the pictures, you get 3D glasses for 80p, (free if you take your own) yet these need no battery's The image projected seems the same, if viewed without glasses? So why do one set cost bugger all, and the others the earth? are we being taken for a ride? mart |

Its a slightly different technology is it not?

The TV's come with 1, 2 or three pairs of glasses. You need them because the screen alternates between a left eye image and a right eye image 100's of times a second, and the glasses blank off each eye in synchronisation. At the cinema, the image is usually polarised with the glasses each alowing a different angle of light. These require no technology within the glasses, hence they're cheap enough to make that they can give them away (cost built into ticket price). However, the projectors required to provide this dual polarised image are expensive, and to replicate this on a home TV would be expensive. Your home TV must also be able to present normal 2D programming, and combining polarising 3D with normal 2D would again be difficult. In truth, the 3D sets are no different than any 2D set, apart from the processing to alternate the image and a tiny bit of hardware to synch with the glasses.

Let me put my geek glasses on :cool:..lol..
It depends on the 3D tv...some require shutter glasses that are battery powered, you normally get 2 free... Others you get the polarized lenses that are abit nicer than the crap at the cinema, but are passive. Mind you, there are TV in R & D labs round the world, that are finishing off 3D tv without glasses. 3D tv is still in its infancy at the moment, save your cash, buy a new turbo and remap, pick up a 3D tv in a few years.... |

I thought you were on the dole. Why are you looking at TV's that I can't afford to buy for you. You should be looking for work instead
I get 3 strikes before my state tv support is turned off ;) i may as well make the most of what i can get before i actually have to do some work ;) Mart |
As ever Mart it will be a big rip off. No real reason for them to be that expensive.

Anyone else just thing why bother ?
I am quite happy with 2d, ok 3d would be nice if it didnt involve sitting there like a pillock with silly glasses on. |
There new technolagy so overly expensive and not very good... wait for updated versions to come out in a year or two.
