Just got back from the cinema... watched a (very good) film, and it was in 3D. Putting the film aside (because it was not the best to watch in 3D, although it was an excellent film) - My issue is with the idea of 3D -
Honestly, with all the extra price and faff of having to wear those stupid glasses all the way through, it amazes me how 3D is (gradually) becoming the next HD.
However, I think that is the point. It is gradually taking off, Diffusion into the living room remains slow... This may pick up when Sky Launches its 3D box soon but okay, I can see 3D's place in the cinema (for the experience) but in the living room? No Thanks!
On this one, I'm with the Japanese - who at the moment, 70% say they have no plans to buy a 3D TV for their home.
Why you would want to sit and have to wear 'special glasses' to watch TV I do not know. The experience is good, but not amazing - my brain can easily work out that things are not going to come out the screen and actually hit me, I think headaches may be issue as well. Your eyes and head do have to work hard to process the picture - I wonder if this will have any affect for generations to come?
I'm sorry, but until the 3D TV 'Glasses not required' barrier is truly broken for the consumer market, because at the moment, even the best offerings from Sony, Panasonic and Samsung still require them - 3D TV in my lounge just ain't for me!
