I too checked out the 3D TVs as BestBuy and Futureshop and the results were less then satisfactory. The BR 3D movie does not have a high enough refresh rate and this is very noticable. At best the refresh rate of a BR 3D or not is only 24Htz which is not enough. My sone and I were watching it in a dimmed environment for less than 5 minutes both of us were getting sore eyes due to eye strain.

So right now for an average consumer they will have to get a 3D TV at significantly more than a regular HD TV cost, 3D glasses at 250.00 per pop (note: a few TV packages come with 2 pairs but most don't come with any), and 3D BR movies costing more than normal BR movies all for a sub-par experience.

I think I'll have to wait a few more years for better technology to improve such as glass-less 3D and a higher refresh rate.


Sorry to say but nothing you said here is correct.

Bluray movies run at 24 frames per second wether you watch them in 2D or 3D. The screen you are watching it on is running at 120hz. Screen refresh rate does NOT equal video frame rate.

The current 3D tvs show everything at 120 hz (60 hz per eye) in order to give it a 3D effect but the video frame rate can be 1 frame per second and still be 3D running at 120 hz. Low video frame rate does not give you headaches...

You are correct Dissolitude, I misspoke stating Htz but ment frames per second.  In any case the frames per second is unacceptable.  Been a long day.  I would like to state that only that mistake was "incorrect" and the rest of my statement is opinion so it can't exactly be wrong.
