3D TV in SA

I cant imagine watching 3D at home tho...movie experience is great but watching normal shows, sport in 3D just seems weird
 
wou'ld love to know the priices 3D TV's are going to retail for. From what I suspect you aren't going to get a 40" for less then R30-40k in the next couple of years and who is going to spend that sort of cash when you'll have so little that actually outputs a 3D signal?

Normal blu-ray is already such an issue in terms of the amount of content out there and price.
 
This is laughable.....consumers are still adjusting to HD format .....(This part is funny)DSTV aswell......why on earth would i go out and spend money on a 3D Television/Plasma/LCD/Whatever

So basically they're still deciding how much to screw us over. I saw Panasonic have released a 50" 3D capable plasma for the equivalent of about R36,000 so that one will probably be R100k+.
 
hmmm - 3D aint for me .. I doubt it will really take off here

Just download it. Almost every film, TV series or anything else is out there if you know the right place to look and it's all in HD.
 
I'm quite interested to check out the pricing on these TVs. should be crazy!!!
 
only real benifit from the release of these 3d sets will be a reduction in price on the current '2d' led screens, can't wait to get 1
 
Its so bizarre how all the big manufacturers all come out with almost the same technology all at the same time. One would be inclined to think they all work together, collude on a price and then rape the end consumer with this "latest" hard ware which they pronounce as "brand new, amazing, out of this world" when they have most likely developed it years ago. Then every 3 months they release these new upgrades on this "new" technology and continue to rape and rape till they have made enough cash and then drop the prices.

But hey, its a capitalist society! Its the way it works.

ps: After watching Avatar my eyes were shot for a while, aint no way I am going this 3D route. What they need is to release complete head units.

You can't really compare downloaded HD movies and Bluray movies the quality on Bluray is much better the big benifit on downloaded movies is the speed you get them before local release and you don't get ass pomped on price

The way the movie companies have handled bluray its like they want everyone to pirate stuff. I personally still prefer the disk copy rather than the downloaded version but I don't like being ripped off

I can just imagine what they are going to charge for 3d Blurays I really don't see this tech taking off for the next few years
 
Paying premium prices to sit in front of the TV with a pair of stupid glasses on... no thanks. Strange, this is the first time ever I've wished that some "cool" new tech. would just stay out of the living room.

The hole thing with these new TV's is that you don't need glasses to watch movies in 3D
 
I don't think that the 3D TV's will be that expensive, it's just a TV with a high refresh rate that can display alternate frames for alternate eyes at a high speed.

Any 200Hz TV should need minor design changes in order to do this. Hell, even a 100Hz plasma TV, like my old Sony, could conceivably do this.

I may get one once the format has stabilised.
