I was just in my local Currys, where there was a Passive 3DTV on display. As I walked past an old lady unceremoniously dumped the specs back in the tub.
"No difference" she snorted.
So I walked over, popped on a pair of glasses. The screen was just as blurred as it was without thems. So I took a few steps back. Nothing. I bent my knees to lower my height, and bingo. The 3D jumped into life.
The woman tapped me on the shoulder. ”Waste of time isn't it"
"Not really" I said, "you just have to be in the right position, like this"
She snorted and walked off, muttering to her husband.
2 things can be drawn from this. Firstly, is that 3DTVs aren't going to sell with crap in-store demos like that.
Secondly STOP WITH ALL THIS CRAP ABOUT PASSIVE HAVING BETTER VIEWING ANGLES. IT SIMPLY DOESN'T.
