Do not speed read! I didn’t miss your sarcasm!!

As of now (1/9/11) all you have to do is buy a 3D TV with a refresh rate of 120Hz or above and a 3D Blu-Ray disc player and the appropriate glasses for the TV and you can see 3D if it is recorded on a 3D Blu-Ray disc.

My 3D DLP TV uses a different (and obsolete) foremat for 3D. It was made to use a computer with a special program that converted ANY 2D or 3D material into a 3D foremat that my TV accepts.

I’ve learned aallott in these 3 months.

Fortunately for myself and other early 3D TV owners Panasonic makes a 3D BD player that accomodates those DLP TVs. I found a website that knows just about EVERYTHING regarding 3D TV and sells whatever you need to get you going.
They sold me 3D glasses that did NOT need an emitter and a couple of magic boxes that will change any 3D foremat into the one my TV uses…and that includes satellite TV 3D (if and when it arrives).

I now have 61 inches of 3D when I want it now for much less $$ than that “shed-load” of money you’ll need to buy a comparable system now.

To paraphrase Treebeard, the Ent in the Lord of the Rings:
I never write anything that isn’t worth taking a long time to write.

I ordered the appropriate glasses/emitter kit for it and waited almost a year to get that kit. I never got the computer. A couple of days ago I found some bloggers who somehow knew that you could see 3D without a computer, although Samsung and everyone else in the known universe was absolutely sure that I just HAD to use a computer to see 3D on that TV.

So I did what the bloggers said to do and …lo…I can see great 3D on my TV withOUT a computer by using a specific 3D Blu-Ray player and my glasses/emitter.

So! I rushed out yesterday (9/14/2010) to buy two more pairs of Samsung shutter glasses and guess what: They didn’t come with an emitter and they didn’t work.

So! if there is anyone out there who knows the answer to THIS riddle puhleeeze contact stevefromli@optonline.net

Thanks.

I am from India. I bought a SAMSUNG 3D-Ready TV. It has a 3D-Sync Out port at the back.

Now. How do i view 3D content on my TV.I am talking about 2D to 3D conversion because 3D MOVIE DVDs are NOT AVAILABLE IN INDIA.

I checked the TriDef site for their software and i was very excited to know that they have Real Time 2D to 3D conversion software, but sadly they say NVIDIA 3D Vision Kit will NOT work with TRIDEF and also their ONLINE STORE does not have any glasses as they claim to have.

What glasses do i have to purchase and what software do i need in my system(PC) to view 3D in my 3D Ready Samsung TV.

And the reason why mentioned i was from India is that i cannot any of the stuff from these Online stores which are obviously outside India.

Please help me out because i am desperate to make use of the 3D ready feature in my TV..

john:

well why buy a 3d tv if you can buy a 3d dvd disc and wear the glasses and it works on any tv without costing thousands of pounds?

John, I think you have misunderstood the technology. A 3D DVD Disc that uses Red-Green or Red-Cyan type filters with similar glasses might work but they look terrible, and have absolutely horrible color fidelity.

The experience that you get from new 3D TVs in combination with new 3D content (either 3D Blu Ray, or 3D channels) is miles above the “old school” 3D. Try one of the demos at your local electronics store and you will see the difference.

Dave:

Some Samsung 120hz TVs have been capable of 3d content through nvidia graphics cards with 3d shutter glasses. How are they now different to the new 3d ready Samsung Tv’s

Hi Dave,

To be honest there really isn’t much of a difference. The technology is practically the same, it is just that in the former case, the syncing to the glasses is being done by the nvidia system and not the samsung system. As for which one is better, it isn’t clear now, although I would prefer to go with all Samsung since everything is in house in that case and you know that the glasses should work well with the set. Additionally, I doubt that you will get much support from Samsung if you are having issues getting the Nvidia glasses to work with your 3D TV.
