Hi. How much 3D home entertainment is there to purchase?

 

[JoelSim]

Pretty much nothing as yet, although headache tablets are widely available.

 

[simonlewis]

TV.

Reciever/amp.

Blu-ray player.

Certainly nothing worth buying, in fact zilch!

IMHO it will never get off the ground, so don't waste your money!

The studios are doing their best to wreck it as they did in previous incarnations by releasing a load of rubbish such as Space Chimps 2 and hoping people will flock to see it just because it is in 3D

 

[digidavid1954]

Sorry. I meant DVD/ Blu-ray discs/ material?

 

[chudleighpaul]

The rubbish that is being released will eventually be on DVD/ Bluray, so just look around at what is on at the cinemas and you will soon realise that there is nothing worth buying now or in the immediate future.

Forget it!

I think it is a very much wait and see situation on 3d now. I think the industry will push for it and we will end up in having to buy software and hardware that has 3d technology in it. but, hopefully, we wil not have to use it.

People WILL see it JUST because it is 3D, just as we bought some blu-ray discs and players 'cause it was blu-ray.

It's all statistics...

However BluRay has given us a quantum leap in term of both PQ and SQ

It is my belief 3D will not in PQ, just gimmick and will die a natural death, but at the expense of consumers who will be coralled into buying the technology as nothing else will be available!!

Avatar in 3D will be great.

I'm also looking forward to Christmas Carol.

But we are a good few months before any real content starts coming out. I do have confidence that 2011 will see loads of releases.

I prefered it in 2D, as did many others

 

[Petruchio]

Well then it's great that you can get the 2D version and I can get the 3D. Everyone's a winner!

 

[Sorreltiger]

A friendly salesman in John Lewis encouraged me and my youngest to try out a Sony 3D set-up. IMO the 3D made the movie picture much darker and not nearly as sharp - even though the 3D effect worked quite well. Football was HORRIBLE - desperately difficult to follow! However, youngest was REALLY taken with the gaming demo and I can see that this could be the break-through area. I had to admit that this looked great too, although not too loudly as youngest was starting to get ideas!

Avastar in a Low Price Car - James Cameron on Top Gear?

Avaricious - something to do with James Cameron's bank account?

 

[Petruchio]

Well that was all hilarious. Who says comedy is dead? (although to be fair "Avabanana" was a good one....).

There is obviously huge caution wrt 3D on here and I can understand that. But personally (and please don't shout me down) I welcome 3D into our homes. Sure, the first-gen stuff won't get it 100% right (what has?) but anything that pushes technology forward is welcome in my book.

....and who's Brian Ferry?

 

[digidavid1954]

I get it. There's zip other than ... you know. Avacar!

Should have looked at the Panasonic, the picture in my demo was fantastic if not entirely perfect (occassionally could detect a little flicker).

Also, any demo is subject to how the tv is set up and has been said on here many times before, what looks best / worst in the shop doesn't necessarily look the same at home away from all those bright fluorscent lights when properly adjusted. My advice is view demos at several stores or independants so you can get a better feel for he picture or better still find a shop that calibrates their demo screens.

As for 3D, I was very very impressed by the Panasonic but personally wouldn't buy one quite yet. I'd rather wait for the take off than buy something expensive and have it go obsolete even if it can still be used for 2D.
