Someone willing to get me a new $1000 tv so I can enjoy 3D gaming? I bought my HDTV last year and wasn't planning on upgrading for a while.

Most current HDTVs are not internet capable, Newer models and upcoming HDTVs will carry this feature and able to connected to the internet for firmware upgrades and such ..

So, current HDTVs owners will still be left out of these feature and dont think they will upgrade anytime soon just for this.

I had to say it...   Porn in 3D could you imagen...lol.

Does anyone know the answer to this question?
I keep hearing about people getting headaches from 30 FPS in games, but nobody complains about getting headaches at a 24 FPS movie. Why is that?

I was thinking of getting an LCD this year (right now I have a HD CRT), I decided to put it off due to 3D.

I'm not sure this is the reaction Sony and other TV makers wanted though...

This will be a false dawn or it will in part.

Lets take the Avatar story for example. I went to the Cinema and watched in 3D but that only tells half the story. I did not want to watch it in 3D because it cost me extra money and 3D whilst good is not that good, unfortunately my local Cinema only had 1 showing of the 2D version which was cunningly timed to start at 9pm (Which as the film is twelve billion light years long was a no go).

I have absolutely no desire to purchase an overpriced 3D version and sit at home with a pair specs over the top of my normal specs thank you very much for asking.

The 3D revolution in Cinema is as much in part to Cinemas getting better at selling them as they are about the content. When this latest raft of 3D films started it was also possible to watch the 2D version but not any more. Whereas I think folks will pay the extra for the Cinema experience I am pretty sure we are not ready to pay for it at home.

I give it another 3 years.

If you're putting off making a purchase because you're holding out for the next technological advancement then you'll be waiting a long time as the market will constantly evolve. Sure many people won't be looking at upgrading their tv's anytime soon but some will have probably had their HD sets for some years and will adopt the new tv's very quickly. Others will wait 5 years or so and pick them up when prices lower, this is nothing new with these sort of products and will likely not worry Sony/Panasonic/Samsung ect.

3D made the avatar film. The story was nothing special but the visual effects were fantastic. I have absolutely no desite to buy Avatar until I have a decent 3D home set-up (however long that may take). The difference with Avatar and many other films is it that the 3D was done to enhance the film as opposed to adding a sales gimick of having things pop-out to 'scare' you. If games and other film are desinged the same way there is no reason it won't become the standard form of media in the future (obviously we're talking at least 5-10 years here).

Well, you'll get a headache if those 30 or 24 frames were just thrown out there at that speed, but that isn't what's happening. Rather, a single image is displayed several times making sure that you don't get a "flickery" effect. For 3D though, if you can only display @60 hz, those are divided between your eyes and you'll actually notice that flickering.

If we were at the beginning of the HDTV "generation" I would agree, at this point it's not a long wait (unless 3D TVs are really expensive, in which case I wish them luck, they will need it).

200hz tvs were already on the market though. Its not like everyone will need to immediately upgrade to a new one. Early adopters of HD got shafted cuz most didn't do 1080p anyway, they need to upgrade sooner or later.

The movie industry is pushing 3D pretty hard now, expect to see a lot of it. They charge like double the ticket price too. It is inevitable for Video Games to follow suit. It won't be a quick process though, just as BluRay is.
