Samsung warning about 3D TV

[Platypus]

So it's not just me, then! Color temperature seems slightly different between each eye...nothing I really notice every day, but if I'm watching TV or something and switch eyes, skin tones change slightly.

Yeah people usually say how fucked up that is, I kind of like it. Skin tones in particular I notice the most.

I have zero interest in 3d television or movies in my home. Absolutely zero.

Interesting... That sounds like it could be advantageous for some things. Do you consider it an even trade off for losing depth perception?

I appended my previous post with a perceived benefit 🙂

I think it's great personally, but I don't know what 'normal' vision is really like so I can't compare. I might be at a huge disadvantage 😛

I know it's responsible for me hating sports lol.

 

[DietDrThunder]

Why can't you guys see 3D; bad eye?

It has been proven that people without 20/20 or better vision (corrected or otherwise) won't see 3D properly and it can cause headaches.

 

[vi edit]

It's because my eyes don't see in stereo, and the trickery they use to make '3D' will not work in that circumstance.

Does that include those "hidden picture" eye puzzlers where you stare at them long enough and you see the object?

I never could get those to work.

I fucking hate those things. I've never been able to get them to work (for the reasons laid out above) and I felt like such a failure because at the time I didn't know why it was physically impossible for me to be able to see it.

I can see 3D fine, but I have issues with a lot of those "eye trick" type pictures. They piss me off because they never work properly for me :^D

The concept is kinda neat, but I really can't picture myself constantly having to wear expensive glasses to watch TV. If you are 10 people then you need 10 pairs. Gets quite pricy.

I don't think it's something you'd want to use all the time, but the occasional thing in 3D can be fun. I saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D, and enjoyed that format very much. The news? not so much... :^D

depends on what the newscaster looks like i spose... id love to see beverly kidd in 3d. 😀

when i got my mitsu dlp almost a year ago there were all kinds of detractors saying the 120hz the tv has made things look almost too real, 3dish and like it was taped live. if it was too 3d, why are people so gaga about the new 3d tvs? lol. mine has some 3d plug in on the back of the tv, but ive never even read up on what it is, what i need for it or whether it even works.

where is my 3d porn

 

[BoberFett]

Does the warning include anything about the effects of purchasing TVs with silly gimmicks?

Bah, I've got ya both beat, no optic nerve in my right eye. I was born that way and have no vision at all from that eye. Externally the only thing is that the eye is slightly smaller than my left but its hardly noticeable. Like platypus, my depth perception is learned instead of natural but still sometimes have trouble judging distances.

3-d is old news. I was playing 4-d boxing years ago.

 

[Ken g6]

It's cause Platypus exists only on the internet, and the internet is 2D by definition.

That is, until we get an upgrade to internet3D, but that's a ways off.

The Internet used to be 3D. And it may be again.

So those titties can be right in my face.

Almost Safer to do Heroin or abuse prescription Drugs.

Agreed. I saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D and while I could see the affect...I would have preferred to see it in 2D. Who the hell wants to use glasses at home...that would suck.

I, for one, welcome these new gimmicks. It makes previous TVs, without the gimmicks but still excellent TVs, cheaper. Example: The refresh rate gimmick.

"That 240 Hz TV looks so much clearer and sharper! I will gladly pay 2k!"

 

[Tristicus]

I STAY sleep deprived.

Guess I'm shit outta luck.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

I like 3D, if the TVs were reasonably priced and I happened to be in the market for a TV I'd certainly consider one.

 

[Muadib]

I enjoyed Avatar in 3D, but I would not buy a tv just for 3D.

 

[zerocool84]

3D anything still has nothing over 2D. Avatar still didn't show that 3D was cool and must have and made the movie. 3D is like motion controls to me, a gimmick to sell more hardware.

But it's one more D.

That only works with boobs.
