deeveus 81 Report post Posted August 15, 2011 Have just received advice that the RWC 2011 won't be broadcast in 3D to NZ but will be to overseas? I imagined it would be Sky NZ broadcasting the matches yet they won't be giving it to us kiwis?!!?! WTF! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted August 16, 2011 The three people that actually have 3D TV's should organise a hikoi march on parliment... We sell 3D Samsung 43" Plasmas for $999 and we've sold more 3D televisions than conventional 2D sets. I wasn't aware that you were going to have to pay for it as well. It's a bugger really especially the fact that overseas will receive 3D coverage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted August 16, 2011 the price difference between one particular 40" LED tv is 100 bucks with/without 3D... not really worth getting the slower (50hz) panel over the (100hz) panel to save 100 bucks.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They had nothing to do with Sky TV I called the 0800 759 759 number today to see for sure what they are doing about 3D they said they were no longer broadcasting it on SkySport - it was Sky all along as far as I knew as Sky have the rights.

Gaz 1061 Report post Posted August 16, 2011 They were also going to show it in movie theatres but at ~$120 a ticket, I'm not surprised that the tickets didn't sell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted August 20, 2011 ^^^ 2 Guys who have not seen GT5 in 3D!!! Would change tour mind on 3D instantly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted August 20, 2011 I did tried GT5 in 3D and the effects are there. But the 3D glasses on top of my normal glasses makes it a awkward and uncomfortable. Also, maybe it's the model of TV I find it a bit flickering and lack the fluid motion as on normal 2D. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, maybe it's the model of TV I find it a bit flickering and lack the fluid motion as on normal 2D. Fluro lights can make them flicker, aswell as flat batteries - you can also buy glasses (Samsung does anyway) designed to go over your normal glasses (decent ones) they are expensive but worth it. I have 4x of these SSG-3700CR You can buy the prescription ready glasses for around $250-$300 A decent movie on a decent TV (the cheaper plasma's aren't as good as a high end Samsung/LG) cannot be compared to the movies! IMO it's not going to be a phase or a (laser disc phase) as alot of TV's sold are now 3D. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted August 22, 2011 So, the "entry fee" for a decent 3D experience would be around 5-grand. (decent 46+ inch TV + extra glasses + sound system). I shall give that some thoughts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I shall give that some thoughts. You'd get a nice 55" Samsung 3D which has the converter - not just 3D ready meaning it can convert normal TV/blu ray/DVD e.t.c. - it's not as good as an actual 3D disk, but great watching sports with - for around under 4k with 4 glasses, you get a set with the TV and you'd achieve this very easily for 4 grand. PM Me if you're ever interested UA55D660 Samsung Good home theatre system with that would be THIS With that model you can use your smart phone over wifi as a remote control - use it as a keyboard for the internet on it e.t.c. Also that model has wifi built in. My price on those would be about $3800 delivered (TV, Theatre, two extra sets of glasses which comes with a 3D Blu-Ray) - IF you didn't want the 3D converter TV (TV still plays 3D Signals from 3D Blu-Ray Player) you'd be looking at about $3300ish.

5amchris 45 Report post Posted August 22, 2011 http://www.panasonic.co.nz/viera/plasma/th-p55st30z.html would not buy any other 3d tv. neo plasma over LED any day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted August 22, 2011 That is a 3D TV and given it's specifications most would consider it to be on a different planet compared to the TV I've linked above. The bezel on that TV is huge! Our cheapest Plasmas are 600hz or equivalent, yet even a 100hz LED is far superior to a 600hz Plasma. This is mostly evident especially when say the credits at the end of a film are sliding down the screen or someone walking across the screen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5amchris 45 Report post Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) 600hz sub field drive [ 120FPS 3D]. Wont get into a battle over the forums but just saying what i think is the better tv in my eyes if you sell these things you should know its all down to what people see from the TV not what you see, Things you also need to tell people is that you cant lie down and watch a 3d movie with this LED screen. But you can with the pana plasma screens. Just as im not sure does the 6600 offer the 3d depth slider? Also do you know about the neo plasma pixel shading? and the way they mix the 3d frames? http://panasonic.net/avc/viera/asia2011/te...gies/index.html And also panasonic offer avatar in 3d for free =D Edited August 22, 2011 by 5amchris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted August 22, 2011 Those Samsung glasses are cool. The major turn-off for me in the whole 3D thing is the glasses. I should look into this further. Or do you guys think there will be major spec changes under Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5amchris 45 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 Just wait a few years we dont have anything showing on TV in real 3d atm and i do think there will be a Hugh jump in technology. The thing with tv's with no 3d glasses is the viewing angles, if you are always sitting in front of the tv + - 5* it would be easy but as people want to sit anywhere in the room the tv has to find out where you are sitting and focus the 3d in your direction Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
