3D Movies...Where are they?
've just re signed to Netflix after a year away from it because of the forthcoming launch on Virgin Media. Ive been reading about the 3D movies but having browsed the movies and after trying the search function,I cannot find any 3D movies. What's the best way to access them?

Additionally they may not be available on any region other than the US one unless that's changed in the last few days |

They are only available on selected devices (mainly 3D TV with Smart Functions but also some 3D compatible set top boxes) and not through the web interface.

Right,I have Netflix on Roku,Android tablet and iPad. I read a few days ago that the 3D movies are available in the UK
And I believe what you are refering to was the announcement that Super HD was now available to all users no matter the ISP they use (Before it was limited to specific ISP's who had joined Netflix delivery program). This announcement made a passing reference to 3D but also mentioned it was US only |

Still only a 3d demo which didn't work on my telly which as I said before is 3d. Tweeted Netflix but nothing back. They seem to only reply when they can reply in the positive.

Just got a 3D TV and might join Netflix if there are any decent 3D films on there.
Have things improved since this thread was made, or have Netflix reduced or withdrawn from the 3D market like many others have? Thanks. |

3D TV has not really taken off like they had hoped it would and some shops are no longer selling 3D TVs.
HD and the newer 4k(UHD) is the way forward for TV viewing. Darren |

There's a provision for 4k 3D in the 4k UHD Bluray spec, I think they will test the water with the new format, still 3D with glasses but I can see a small revival coming on, might even show up on Netflix. |

Sky Movies or blu-ray are the main options.
Home, San Andreas, Mad Max and Terminator Genysis are recent releases on Sky. Is the 3D Sky Movies service a linear or On Demand service? I've just asked Now TV if they have any 3D content and the answer was no. |

3D never took off; people who didn't normally wear glasses generally found it more uncomfortable than it was worth for a limited 3D effect, and people who already wore glasses had additional problems.
Whilst TVs which are 3D compatible will no doubt sell in ever higher numbers (all they require is a 120+hz refresh rate screen plus some associated protocols for connected specs), VR headsets are likely to be where 3D goes and stays from this year onwards. If you want fully immersive 3D, you will never get that from a large TV sitting in the room and wearing special glasses to watch it. Instead you need a dedicated headset which is designed to be comfortable to wear for extended periods and which provides a genuine separate high-quality display for each eye. |

And Sky's 1080i 3D is even better upscaled on a UHD TV. |

as well as 3d movies there are a handful of nature documentary boxsets on Sky in 3d. They used to have some Sky Arts pieces in 3d (Isle of Wight Festival, Ballet, Cirque du Soleil) but I don't think they're available any more.
Sadly I think Sky have completely stopped producing any 3d programmes, but there is still a steady stream of Hollywood movies available in 3d that they're showing. (Personally I love 3d, and always choose it at home or at the cinema if the option is there. Passive display so no eye strain, and also great for gaming! VR will get there but it will be very very niche for a few years yet) |
