So we have these 3D ready TVs coming out here in Australia next week i think, if not already, i think
So im like, why the hell do we need special TVs to view 3D? There is nothing special about watching it at the movies, is there?
According to wikipedia:
"3D-ready TV sets are those that can operate in 3D mode (in addition to regular 2D mode), in conjunction with LCD shutter glasses, where the TV tells the glasses which eye should see the image being exhibited at the moment, creating a stereoscopic image. These TV sets usually support HDMI 1.4 and a minimum (input and output) refresh rate of 120Hz; glasses may be sold separately."
I am also aware that 3D movies such as Avatar and Clash of the Titans will no doubt come out on 3D, as well as other movies. Also, Avatar the game has the option to be played in 2d or 3D according to an article i read months ago.
Now at the movies they just give everyone polarised glasses and a bit of a fuzzy image and magically it looks 3D, or am i missing something?
Now im wondering if it will still be possible to watch 3D on a normal Full HighDef TV just using polarised glasses...we used to be able to do it with the red and green plastic (although it was fairly shoddy).
I just dont understand why they need special TVs. Are there any tech savvy people here who know? And would i still be able to play Avatar in 3D on a full High Def TV? (hypothetically - im probably not getting the game )
And any other comments are appreciated, like how long has this been out in your country?
