3D is the future of entertainment.
Potential Short Term Side Effects From Viewing Movies or Games in 3D
- Motion sickness / nausea.
- Dizziness.
- Headaches.
- Disorientation.
- Eye Strain.
- Feeling tired and fatigued during or after the movie.
- Difficulty or inability to see the 3D images.
The first thing I did when I bought my last TV that came with 3D was disable it. It kept automatically detecting non-existent 3D content.
Yep, that's what it was.
It's not for everyone to view 3D. I've read somewhere that people get dizzy/head aches watching it.
Are 3D Movies Harmful to Your Eyes? - Vision By Design Optometry
As more and more movies continue to be released in 3D, are there potential health concerns to consider, especially in the area of eye health?visionbydesignoptometry.comAre There Side Effects to Watching 3D Movies? A Prospective Crossover Observational Study on Visually Induced Motion Sickness
The increasing popularity of commercial movies showing three dimensional (3D) images has raised concern about possible adverse side effects on viewers.A prospective carryover observational study was designed to assess the effect of exposure (3D vs. 2D ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Yeah, for a while there it seemed like every new TV had 3D on it, and then it just quietly went away. Glad I only bought one Blu-Ray with 3D, at the time I just kind of figured it was going to be a standard feature by the time I got a new TV, but by 2017, it was gone.I thought I was reading necro thread until I checked the date. Didn't they stop making 3d TV years ago?
The most bizarre aspect of 3D is that people like the OP are still bitching about it. Its like claiming that 3D video games are doomed because of the N64s blurry textures. Although its more akin to saying video games are doomed because of all the shitty games put out on the Atari 2600 as what doomed 3D is shitty converted/tacked on shit versions of 2D movies (most of which were shit).
I do get a kick out of how techphobic luddite people get to being on here. I swear half the people on the board these days are posting from their backwoods rape dungeons/piss bunkers griping about how sure Windows ME sucked but its GUI was a million times better than Win10, Apple sux because of the Apple tax (said by someone that spent $3000 for a GPU they play Quake 2 on), and vinyl is the best audio format ever. Oh and something about Facebook while they cyberstalk every woman they ever fantasized about on there.
That's because the 3D tech was not robust and they didn't bother creating an actual standard so that a certain quality was met. Its the same reason VR is still kinda meh. The tech just isn't there yet and there's basically no quality control. Once we get legit 4K resolution (2Kx2K per eye), people will start to see its potential as we'll be able to offer experiences that no 2D screen can offer whilst limiting the drawbacks (resolution, etc). We're close but not there yet. Give it 10 years, where we'll probably have 8K per eye with proper framerate and FOV and it'll blow people's minds. In 20 years people will be going "remember when we used to watch everything in flat 2D?" it'll seem as odd as black and white or silent movies. It really is that transformative of a change.
But due to the state of the tech, the lack of experience dealing with it, and movies that were not 3D converted to 3D, we got a bunch of mediocre at best (and often downright terrible) 3D tacked onto shitty movies, most of which were shitty regardless of being 2 or 3 D. On the flipside, the stellar 3D is the only reason Avatar was a success because it was a woefully mediocre movie otherwise, and that shows you the potential. Now imagine when we get someone to do the Normandy beach scene in better than Avatar 3D. You people will be jerking each other off at the chance to buttfuck each other up the beach to teabag some Nazis. And you'll be "whoa"-ing while you live out your dreams in the Matrix.
Once AR/VR becomes the de facto computing interface, 3D will be how movies are made because it'll be nauseating to see them otherwise. Well people will still watch old 2D stuff but it'll be in 3D virtual environments. Sure the "film buffs" will still be jacking off to the latest Tarantino foot fetish feature and Christopher Nolan is wailing about film stock, and David Lynch is crying in the corner because the tiny screen just blew up in his face so he'll just finally fully transition to old many complaining that people don't have time for his nonsensical crap (I say that as a fan of some of his stuff).
Which I'm sure we'll find some way to ruin it, like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T will develop a fiber optic catheter as the new standard for accessing the internet, or maybe a wireless rectal probe or something.
I think UHD and HDR may have been bigger drivers than OLED.I like that OLEDs brought an actual desirable advancement to TV displays to make us forget about the 3D gimmick they were marketing prior. It brought the industry back to more important pursuits. Image quality advancements > goofy gimmicks.
Technically all TVs are 3D - 2D TVs don't exist. You might be able to argue that a projector screen is 2D but it does exist in three dimensions.
