3D TV is dead, finally

3D TV is dead. Samsung has already dropped 3D support for its TVs, and LG and Sony will do the same this year.

Good.. it was just a migraine-inducing fad..

3D is shyte.

Unless it's VR, it ain't worth it.

3D glasses are in a drawer somewhere. Used once. What a waste.

 

[FiestaST]

Lovely

 

[backstreetboy]

Thought is was already dead. Good one Samsung!

Hard not to laugh

i never took out a cent for this. i mean really - only times 3D really impressed me is about 1/10 movies at cinema. no way in hell i will setup a cinema sized screen at my home

 

[AfricanTech]

So surprised....

Not.

Now if they would just kill 3D cinema

Great, now they can focus in killing stupid curved displays as well.

I agree. It is also a gimmick. One of the biggest drawbacks of curved display is that you pretty much need to sit right in front of the TV. The poor souls on the right or left.

Yip I have 4 pairs of virtually brand new Samsung 3D glasses.......

IMAX 3D is the best of the lot...and even then I would go without if IMAX had the option.

But when it comes to IMAX 3D over normal crappy cinema then I'll stomach the 3D.

Home use has never made anything better.

Amazing how long thats been around, I was watching WKRP from the early 80s again recently and there's a scene with them all in a sleezy cinema that shows "art" movies in 3D.

One possible loss...

My LG 3D tv with supported gaming platforms allows two player full screen gaming, by using the left eye channel for one player and the right eye for the other, and provides gaming glasses that make it work.

The moment you need to get people to use something externally (Glasses) to watch TV this will fail. Imax is a great success because you don't need to farking glasses. Those cheap glasses scratch. kids sit on them, they disappear and you can't have a house with a few guests all watch the movie in 3D unless you have a box of glasses...

Lucky bastard. Mine had 4. I eventually gave the TV to my dad... Had no use for it and he liked watching 3D. Complete waste though.

IMax 3D doesn't need 3D glasses? But it looks to blurry without them...
