"4. I didn't say anything about price being too high"
Then what's this: "there are many other resons such as price, "
Actually I wasn't just responding to the op, but others as well. By mentioning a tv I assumed you were talking about a console hooked up to a tv. Hooking a pc to the same tv and using pc 3d hardware may or may not work, depending on the refresh rate of the tv, right? I used a pair of shutters with a crt years ago, we're talking Half life 1, and it was only a 60hz crt. Can't you use the vga port on the tv instead of the Hdmi to bypass the Hdmi limits? Doe's your pc monitor actaully do 120hz refresh? I didn't realize they could these days, mine can't. Something to keep in mind, 1080 3d at 24 fps is per eye, the ps3 is sending 1080 at 48hz, and games that play at 720p in 3d are 120hz, 60 hz per eye, as with StardustHD:
72D split-screen mode has been updated from 30fps to 60fps and 4x antialiasing has been added to to the 2D mode at 720p and 1080p resolutions. So summarize, the 3D patch includes the following changes:
- 3D mode of the game running 720p at 120fps (60fps per eye)
- 2D mode of split screen co-op mode updated from 30fps to 60fps
- 4x antialiasing support in 720p and native 1920×1080p support in 2D mode
Anyway, I don't want to spend money on a new PC monitor that can handle 120hz, and add the pc 3d sytem, and most importantly, I don't want to sit in front of a pc to play 3d games or watch 3d movies. So, I can wait to find a tv that works with pc hardware (are you certain they won't thru vga?), and hook up my pc to it (don't really want my pc in my living room and have to boot it up every time I want to watch a 3d movie), or I can find the best solution right now.
As far as plasmas go, the best choice is the panasonic's vt20's or vt25's, they have the best 2d picture as well as 3d. But i'll wait to check out the 480hz vizeos. Yes, they are using some back light trickery to get the 480hz, but it looks to me like it will help eliminate ghosting. They use instantaneous (almost) led back lighting which is switched on only after the lcd and shutters have settled, in other words you won't see any ghosting because when ghosting is happening, the back light will be off.
Or, I can wait a few more years and get the ultimate tv, OLED! We may see 50" in 2 years, but they will probably be expensive. The bottom line for me, i'm itching for a new tv, I have a 1080i rear projection monster that needs to be updated, i'm a 3d enthusiast, I have a victorian age stereo scope, have taken 3d photos, and will buy a 3d camera and camcorder in the future, what should I buy right now?
