Just wondered if there's anybody else who is very anti 3D. I for one will never adopt the awful technology hate it in the cinema as it is. Sky is wasting alot of money on event tv that few want.
How about invest more in HD and Super HD for the bigger TV's and VOD.
I'll buy a 3D ready TV when I update but fully hope it becomes an obsolete button feature like the now defunct text services and video plus which have now all gone digital.
Sky are pushing this like it's better than 3D. My reckoning is the picture is actually a lower resolution than standard 3D is it not? Plus you need silly glasses. So today Sky launch there 3D channel how about a massive anti 3D discussion? I am a Sky customer and don't want it so Sky should listen!
3D failed once let it fail again!

Sky shouldn't bother with it's online list of 3D pubs, you can easily tell which ones have 3D. They're the ones with piles of fresh vomit outside them on a Sunday afternoon!
Yes. Sky Movies may have been showing 'The Hangover' this week I bet there 3D coverage guarantees just that!
I only bought a new 50 inch LG TV the other week but this is also not 3D.
So won't be getting it any time soon.
For how long though? Once they get 3D's down to £400 you can get standard 3D ones will be in the back corners of Supermarkets while the big stores charge high prices and try and force you to think you need 3D.
Yes take of the rose tinted spectacles and 3D is all a Blur! :eek:
Welcome to Blurry Vision.
No-one is forcing you to buy a 3D TV set, nor are you being dragged kicking and screaming to a pub.
It's another classic "I don't like something so it should be scrapped" thread.
that sentence makes no sense
He meant lower than HD which is correct.
Ill never buy a 3dTV, its a fad and a huge waste of money.
Perhaps he meant that. I don't know.
Whilst the current Sky 3D broadcasts are not full HD, Bluray 3D is full HD, and future broadcasts will probably provide full HD too once they agree the standards.
(though current 3DTVs using polarized technology like the LG sets will only ever be half resolution because that is a physical limitation)
I will not be paying extra for it now or ever. I'm much happier watching the Ryder Cup on standard definition on my CRT TV. It's as good as anything if you ask me.
I think that's a sport more suited to 3D, because there's very little camera movement in golf, unlike pitch-based sports such as football and rugby. For these, I think we need to wait for SuperHD-3D, which would basically allow a single static cameras to be placed around the ground and used as though you were sitting where they're sited, i.e. exactly like being at the game, albeit with the ability to jump from one side of the ground to the other.
A) you are not being forced to buy,
C) other people will enjoy and would be willing to pay for.
If anything, 2D TV's will become cheaper, and if they disappear from stores in 10 years, you'll still be able to buy them online or in Argos or somewhere. Or even better, 3D TV's will be the same price as comparable 2D TV's now, and then you can simply watch in 2D.
I'm not going to buy a 3D TV any time soon, but that doesn't mean I want it to fail.
your anti 3d but yet say you will buy one when you update
I bet you hanker for the return of 405 line B&W... :rolleyes:
'We have managed to get everyone to throw out their old CRT TVs and purchased LCD/Plasma, now what can we sell to get them to upgrade again'
Agreed. When my sister comes to visit she always remarks how much clearer my (CRT) picture is compared to their Sony flatscreen.
Its not a matter of anti 3d or anti BBC and so on,the fact is how much money will you have to pay yet again
I despair that more and more Movie releases are in 3D or have a 3D option.
To be it's all a bit gimmicky and too intrusive. Plus I also get a bit motion sickness-like with it.
Anyway fear not, i was reading that with 12% of the population have depth perception problems so 2D should be around for quite a while yet.
(wonder when the first 3D porn will be released?
I think it will go the same way as player cam and other gimmicks we had a few years ago.
