RE: Anyone else considering going 3D?

Posted by jeromelang on December 28, 2009 at 20:23:16:
however popular the movie is - Avatar isn't really suitable material to judge the merits of 3D.
it is patchy in a lot of areas. lot's of it were filmed and created initially in 2D, then "up-convert" to 3D. how you can tell - during many moments throughout the movie, when u remove the 3D glasses and made a comparison - there aren't much differences with 2D. the clue is, for native 3D materials (shot and created in 3D), images should be blurry when seen without the 3D glasses.
perhaps not widely known - the 3D format that's already been decided for offical release will be in Full HD. it will not be like the low-rez, blue-pinkish effect that we are now getting with some 3D Blu-ray movies. so if u can, try to catch sony/panasonic offically setup demos at the coming CES - the experience is right out of this world! The thing is - those TVs really aren't that expensive. cheaper in fact, than the SCD-1 SACD player I first bought to experience SACDs. and if u already own a PS3, there will be a firmware upgrade mid 2010. aren't u glad u got the PS3!
this is what i am looking forward to in 2010 - FIFA Football World Cup 2010 in 3D!
