3D tv.......why is a new Sky+ box and 3D tv required?
Discussion
My daughter has various 3D movies which she views either in the games room through a projector, or on the Pano plasma. She needs to wear glasses and it seems to work fine, it's 3D as far as I can see.
So why the need for a new tv and box to view 3d when Sky launch it shortly?
I can't get my head around why a red and blue image (or whatever it is that the glasses sort out) can't be broadcast through my Sky+ HD box to my normal tv, we wear glasses and bingo, you have 3D tv. If I remember correctly there have been 3D programmes broadcast successfully previously.
Is there a bit of a con going on here

3D is the new Betamax!
There are differences between the systems produced by each manufacturer. Most require electronic glasses that will only work on their system. You may get two in the box but additional ones can cost about £100.
Until 3D TV is like that in the old TV programme "The Flipside of Dominick Hyde" then count me out.

The new version of 3D dosent use red/blue filter glasses that caused massive eye strain and colour irregularities. Insted 2 completely different images are sent to each eye individually, in order to do this you need a 3D complient TV, so you get a full resolution image with no colour offset. If you want to recieve a 3D picture then you are going to need either a 3D blu-Ray player, a newer SKy box or i believe there is a 3D option with freesat.
Please feel free to ignore this post like all of the others as my name isnt Plotloss either. (there is a PM function you know

I have no intention of ignoring your post.......you obviously work for LG and you are trying to convince me that it's not a con Please feel free to ignore this post like all of the others as my name isnt Plotloss either. (there is a PM function you know
)Interesting and seems a reasonable explanation.
Even if I still think we are all being conned

Yeah, what he said. Please feel free to ignore this post like all of the others as my name isnt Plotloss either. (there is a PM function you know
)AV receivers are also having to be upgraded, as are HMDI cable standards (now V1.4 I think)! They now need to be able to process two completely separate HD images, rather than one in the same time scales. Go to Currys or Comet or something and watch their 3D TV's without the glasses and you'll get an idea how they work.
