Terminator Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Any one using 3D Bluray, can you recommend any films or is it all kids stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 After having watched many 3D movies in the cinema, I'm fed up with them. I'd much sooner watch a blu-ray in HD. There is only one film I've watched in 3D that remotely pulled if off and that was Avatar. Sorry, doesn't really help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 A 3D version of Avatar is on my list, but it has not been released yet. My TV does a pretty good 3D simulation with 1080p HD films. 2012 in 3D simulation was pretty good, but nowhere nears as good as the 3D cinema version. I guess I'll have to wait.

Matt H Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 2012 in 3D simulation was pretty good 2012, now there's the very definition of 'amazing trailer - tragic film'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 I was talking about the 3D simulation and layering in simulation being pretty good, the film was poor. But as far as blowing up stuff goes, it was up there with the best of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Which 3D tv have you got Phil?.. I'm still toying with the idea of the 50" Samsung package as it's got some good reviews. Would you say they're worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say they're worth it? Rob, Are you in the market for a decent new TV anyway, or you consider upgrading a decent Full HD LCD or Plasma set up? Just that unless you need a new TV anyway, is it really worth it right now? What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey001 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I have a 46" LED samsung and its fantastic for 3D & HD! Good Choice!! I have shrek 3D box set, Avatar 3D, and loads more but Avatar is by far the best to date! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 I have the same 46" Samsung and it is really good for HD TV and brilliant on BluRay with the Samsung 6900 3D player. Quality of ordinary HD is damb good too. They have really improved image quality in the past four years,hooked up to 7.1 amp it sounds good too. My previous LED HD TV was looking a bit dated so I decided to to go HD/3D Just got in on the end of Samsung's £200 cash back too. Got the 3D player 1/2 price so it was a no brainer. Still can't find Avatar 3D for sale though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that unless you need a new TV anyway, is it really worth it right now? What do you think? I'm moving into a new house over Christmas so i'm looking to buy a 50" to replace the 42" that i've already got (which is a few years old now). I was going to go for a standard 50" plasma but there's some really good deals on the 3D ones at the moment. Also, most people i've spoken to seem to think that once VAT rises to 20% after xmas, a lot of tv prices may go up. Any thoughts on this?

Dr_Doom Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Still can't find Avatar 3D for sale though. Looks like it's a Panasonic exclusive at the moment and only available if you buy one of there 3D tvs! How annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Toy Story 3, the detail in the CGI is simply incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I don't think there are many 3D dvds available yet, unless you like cartoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 i think 3d for the home is gonna be another betamax ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey001 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I dont think so mate! Think HD will go but 3D is here to take over! Once sky 3D is established you will get every channel in 3D if you want it. Watching the football or any sport in 3D is so much better than normal TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 No Avatar 3D until 2012 unless you buy Panasonic.

The exclusivity deal must have been huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're getting a new TV anyway, then yeah, why not get a 3D one. I'm not so sure about this VAT rise thing. I think companies are making too much of a marketing ploy out of it to get people to part with their cash before they may need to. I'm not going to rush out I don't think - it's only 2.5% in the grand scheme of things - may get absorbed one way or another and there's always sales on. 3D tvs are only just hot off the press too, could be that things get outdated fast in the beginning?

JustGav Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 3D tellys are a fad.... much like bluray. The market will be heading towards online, and main stream media is still 2D. Give me a hologram projection in my living room then that is 3d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 One of the reviews I read said that upscaler DVD players get so close to Blueray quality now that it is hard to tell them apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a hologram projection in my living room then that is 3d I think that it was Sony who said that they don't think 3D will ever be mass-market. FWIW though if I had stupid money and wanted the very best large TV then I'd get a 3D model. To do 3D well they have to be quality sets and perform fantastically well in 2D.

Terminator Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 .................................................. To do 3D well they have to be quality sets and perform fantastically well in 2D. Exactly - The main reason I got mine was for TV and DVD and the quality is fantastic, 3D is just a bonus. Whether it was worth the extra, is irrelevant, I just love toys, and think I may be dead by the time holographic systems are made for living rooms. Not sure whether Sony have got it right with this though. It will be the practically of the glasses that will kill it, if anything does, as the glasses are a necessity and with kids in mind it will cost a fortune, as the fluid filled lenses are very fragile, I dropped a pair about a foot on to a coffee table and one lens died cost £50 to replace. Another down side is no one else can watch without glasses. But for pure indulgence of the senses, on a cold damp winter evening, a good 3D film in 7.1 surround and a good single malt, takes some beating. The thing that has impressed me most is the ability of these sets to up scale and run 3D simulation from any HD disc from a HD player, that is a technological master stroke, I want to put Avatar on in pure 3D and simulated 3D and see what the significant differences really are. How the hell the set knows; in real time, with a 2D format disc, the difference between back, middle and foreground, totally baffles me.
