In Reply to: RE: Is 3D television ahead of it's time? Or will it be accepted at all... posted by Mr. Dick Hertz on January 11, 2011 at 12:26:21
At Disney World, it doesn't impress me. At the theater, it doesn't impress me. At a demo setup on a 50" screen, it doesn't impress me.
According to the great majority of comments that I've read, plasma 3D looks better than LCD 3D. That may be so, but after the store demo I saw, which used a 50" plasma, I would be too ashamed to put out such a product if I were a manufacturer. They should pull it off the market and concentrate on display performance parameters that really mean something (black level, color accuracy, etc). Right now, 3D is definitely at the gimmick level.

I am in no hurry at all. I will probably adopt it after 10-20 years (like I did w/ digital audio). But twice I did look at Costco and clearly, in my opinion, the Samsung is garbage, the Sony good for a gimmick, whereas the Panasonic actually increased my interest in 3D a little - it was pretty great for 1st generation other than the slight flicker (they will have to get a bit faster I expect).
But you forgot one of the best parts - eyestrain and migraines!
Yes, I want to pay a fortune for something that will make me sick.

Do they still used those wheels that make me see rainbows? I haven't checked out TVs in a long time.

Over the years, they've added colors, increased the speed of the wheels and even changed the "bulbs" to LEDs. These changes have decreased the percentage of people who get ill or experience headaches, but the problem has not been completely resolved. Only the more expensive 3-chip models eliminate the problems because all 3 primaries are shown at the same time (ie, no alternating colors, which caused the "rainbow effect", like the single-chip models).
I saw the rainbows when viewing DLP displays, so I never considered getting one. But even if I hadn't, I wasn't going to get a DLP display because I didn't want to take the chance that my wife or kids would be part of the estimated 10% of the population that experienced headaches, nausea or dizziness from single-chip DLP technology. That and the fact that plasma technology was better in just about every area.
I watched Sony 3D displays and I noticed flicker all the time. Also the ergonomics of the glass is killing me and the inclusion of LED light sources tends to result in brighter blacks that are not as consistently dark across the entire screen. That, of course, is the problem with LED LCD displays – you are currently paying for style (and eco-friendliness!) over image quality.
