You say that like it's a bad thing!

3D TV-  Yay or Nay???

I've been pondering the same question Tony.
 
I honestly don't know whether or not it's worth plumping for 3D. It also means I'd need a new 3D Blu-ray player and some 3D films, as well as a 3D recorder - but as Karyn mentions, the imminent likelihood of a lot of 3D TV broadcasts seems a long way off at the moment over here.
 
 

I got a 55" Sony w/sound system, 3d DVD player and 3 pairs of glasses not long ago
and the family loves it.

I hooked it all up, turned it on and unlike all the crap I've spent thousands more for in the "computer world"...it worked.
No excuses, BS agreements, fixes, updates, upgrades, workarounds or bloated anything and/or crap that just doesn't work.

Yep, it has been a very pleasant investment with no complaints or negative effects.

Will it last or just a passing fad?...what do I care?...nothing lasts forever anyway but it's great while it's happening.
With all the DVDs I've watched and the ones that are coming like Star Trek I sure don't think it's going away anytime
soon. I can also say that I have more faith in it than I do in the ones making software; and it's a faith based on performance
and what I actually get for my money.

Oh, the picture quality?...fantastic...I'd say it's kind of like the screen being a window rather than what it is except a window with no glass in it because not only is there an incredible depth of field but it extends front and back. Love it. I get a great time out of people ducking, weaving and laughing about the objects seemingly to enter the room. Fun stuff.

I'm just responding as you asked Tony. People that have reasons for not having or wanting it are not of any concern to me and it's fine by
me for them to think whatever floats their boat.

When I am watching TV. Or walking around. Or just sitting there thinking about funny things like farts or the three stooges, I will just rub my eyes really hard for a long time. When I stop rubbing them I see all kinds of colors and spots and floaters and even on occasion 3D. 


It's just a good. 


I hope rubbing my eyes is here to stay.

3D TV is suffering from the same problem HD TV had when it was first launched,  lack of content.  We have 400 SkyTV channels, only one is 3D and NONE of their on demand library is 3D. 

For all TV 2D, 3D, HD, non HD there is a lack of quality content. Apart form keeping up with the news there is rarely more that two or three hours of television in a week I would go out of my way to watch.

Good stuff!  

Yesterday I went to Best Buy and looked at the latest Sony "4K" Ultra TV and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (The TV has every feature available and is 3D capable as well as touting the new 4K technology.)

If you have not seen this technology, and have a spare minute, go see it it!!!  It is like looking at REALITY, not a TV picture!

However, brace yourself when you see the price tag.....

£25k for a TV ?
 
So that's what it must be like to have too much money huh ?
 
It's obvious by the pricing here now that 3D TV's are either dying on their arses or about to be superceded. From what I have read, the new 3D TV's will not require glasses, which is the thing that has always put me off the idea of owning one. I tried some in the shop once and they were very heavy compared to regular sunglasses. I think they are lighter now though. That said, still not much in the way of content, but at current prices if I needed a new TV they are not much more than regular HD, so I would probably get one.
 
I did see a cool Samsumg one a few weeks ago that had a very thin and clear surround so that the frame just blends into the backgound giving the impression of a totally frameless screen, which despite my inner sensible self keeping on with ....but you don't need a new tv, has left an impression on me. D'oh ! Why did I have to look ?

No, no, no...  They say TV adds 25 pounds to you, not how much one costs.
 
HTH.

TV... or not TV..... THAT is the question. Whether tis nobler to watch old skool TV or the new fangled 3D.... who knows....?   Not I, for a certainty...

Why not spend more time in the studio?  Just get nicer dual monitors and call it a day and money well spent.
