Watching films in 3D makes me feel ill.
Anyone got a 3D TV?

Same, but only because it's £10+ a ticket!

Makes sense, in the worse case scenario you have a fantastic HD picture.
Lovely looking TV, post your thoughts back when you can drag yourself away from playing with it.

3D is a fad, pointless outlay. DVD's were an instant hit with the paying public with discs and players coming down in price rapidly and remain a bigger seller than BluRay, which doesn't enhance your film much anyway. The reason is that DVD was a vast improvement in convenience and quality over VHS while not interfering adversely with the way you watch a film. 3D negatively impacts all but the films designed specificaly for it and of a certain genre.
The TV manufacturers don't think it's a fad.
The big players like Sony, Panasonic and Samsung are investing massive amounts of money into the development of 3D

Anybody here been tempted to buy one of the LG Cinema 3D and use the Sky £400 cash back offer? I'm seriously tempted.

That's because they are led by their research and technology departments, rather than by customer need/desire.
i have a panasonic 3d tv, and personally
i would not waste my money on buying one, i am just glad i won the 1 i have its great at first but the novelty certainly wears off. its way over rated and messes with your eyes after a while and causes headaches. personally do'nt waste your money.

I bought a 42" TV 3D,blue ray player,two sets of glasses,4 3D films (Shrek) as a package deal for £830 at Xmas,they have now gone down in price and will continue to do so.. My review is it really changes the way you look at TV,especially sports and documentries on the downside a lot of 3D films are films for children,although impressed with the horror films the documentries of underwater "The Reef" and the "The Universe" you are limited at present to one channel on Sky (217) which shows a lot of how films are made.Football is fantastic,it's if you are actually at the match,but a lot of them (not all) are shown the day after when you know the result.Just bought another horror film, but as it is 3D it cost £.17.99. Like everything else it will come down in price.It also a bit long winded changing from 2D to 3D and back again, however it is very enjoyable to watch and will only improve over the future. It is being there at the right time to get the best value and like everything else it's outdated by the time it reaches the end of the production line.The future TV is having 3D images shown on a table in front of you....hope they don't nick my brandy...Cheers.
They are amazing televisions, we had it demo-ed today. And, they come with 7 pairs of glasses.
The Sky offer isn't on for long so move quickly.
3D is not any good until it can be viewed without glasses and most films are done post production which is utterly useless and actually makes films worse. I would get a good quality LED TV which provides an outstanding HD picture and save your money until 3D advances somewhat. A 46 inch Samsung LED TV can be got for about £900 now which is good value imo.

Think £830 for 42" 3D TV,Blu Ray player and 4 films,2 glasses is good enough value for me.
I've seen a fair amount of 3-D coverage while working abroad. Football poses a problem for the format. On the conventional wide shots which give you the best view of the game, the effect is barely noticeable. It comes into its own on low angles, such as when a corner is being taken.
That means the match is directed differently. You will see a lot more from the cameras on the touchline, sometimes even cutting to those as a player takes a shot.
For about 5 minutes, it's quite impressive. But if you actually want to watch the match properly it gradually becomes an annoyance.
You can also see the difference between the true 3-D cameras and the rest of the coverage, which is converted to 3-D. The converted image is more like a layered picture of 2-D cardboard cutouts.

In 20 years time when I tell my kids I used to rewind tapes and take them back to the Video shop they will think I was on mind bending drugs (which at that time could have also been true). Downloads and the now culture is what will take off.
Until you don't have to wear those poxy glasses, 3D TV will be the exception rather than the norm. I can't imagine getting fruity with the wife in front of the Tellybox looking like Joe 90.

Well I took your advice and moved quickly! Ordered yesterday from Amazon and it's now sitting in my front room. Only problem is that it's so bloody big I can't safely get it onto the stand on my own!
Oh, and I used the NSC Amazon link so that should provide a few extra £££ for the NSC funds

I will stop watching TV if it becomes the norm to watch it in 3D. Just as I will stop going to the cinema if I am not given the choice to watch a film in 2D.
Sadly, in the case of the cinema, 3D is completely about the money - I'd imagine most people who go to see a film more than once or twice a year have now realised that the concept of watching every film in 3D is a joke. Hopefully those who go to see a couple of blockbusters in summer and winter will soon realise as well that it is really not worth sitting with glasses on for over 2 hours. Very worried that the consumer will stop being given much choice as to whether to see something in 2 or 3D, as the extra money will be far too tempting.
As for TVs - I just really don't see how viewing culture could change enough to need 3D TV - not only sitting down and watching it in the evening but also having it on in the background whilst making dinner etc. Comparisons to video-DVD are pointless as that was simply about a better picture - in terms of changing the way you watch your TV it didn't make much difference.
Anyway, without meaning to sound rude I seriously hope people spending lots on 3D TVs end up wasting their money - as I don't want to feel compelled to buy one eventually!

i have HD, but due to having crap eyesight, need glasses to make the most of it from 10 feet away.
