    Cool

    AH YES, an entire generation of crossed eyes and migrane
    sufferers.
    3D is great in IMAX, the new TRANSFORMERS movie is a
    must see, not only a great thrill ride, but a great story as well.
    NOT SHAKESPEARE, maybe ripped him off a bit(who doesn't?)
    but very enjoyable.
    AND HOME 3D is still a bad call, IMHO. Just wondering,
    since plasma is so dark anyway, with the loss from 3d how on earth do you see anything?

    Sounds like your state of mind when you keep reposting your usual uninformed nonsense about 3D and plasma TVs, among other topics.

    So, if 3D at your local IMAX Lite theater is "great" how is home 3D a "bad call"? Given that Poultrygeist actually owns a 3D TV and provided first hand impressions using credible calibration settings, I'll take his word over your contradictory rants anyday.

    ONE IS TWO TO THREE HOURS, one is an entire evening

    FUNNEE. Really, when I WATCHED THOR it was very dark,
    which made TRANSFORMERS A PLEASANT SURPRIZE,
    very bright.
    ONE THING about the "new" 3D(basically computer enhanced
    polarized system) its quality is very inconsistent. But fine for
    a 3D monitor rollout!!
    Talk about not ready for prime time!

    Wait, so watching a half hour sitcom is an "entire evening"? Or does an "entire evening" entail a marathon session of prison documentaries? Or is an "entire evening" watching a "two to three" hour movie at home? You can't even get your own definitions straight.

    Ho hum, just another round of regurgitating your usual uninformed talking points. The only thing "inconsistent" is the setup with in-store demos. Poultrygeist's observations indicate how 3D looks with a calibrated set and a good source -- something that you have zero experience with.

    I would imagine "an entire evening" is watching half an Archie Bunker rerun until the Thorazine kicks in...
    So, I broke into the palace

    Hey P-Geist...

    If you're happy and you're enjoying your purchase AND 3D.. then guess what? I'm happy! Simple as that. I can't see in 3D as a result of injuries suffered while in service. I can only see out of one eye at a time. Limited depth perception. I wish I could see it just once but it ain't gonna happen. Sooooo.. I'm happy for anyone who CAN enjoy 3D and likes it.

    Chicken type individual, thank you for your first hand testimony on how good 3D can be when the set is properly calibrated for the task. I appreciate FIRST HAND experience over the musing of a person who has had so little exposure to 3D, their opinion on the technology can easily be dismissed as written ca ca.

    I have been using Panasonic's 65" pro 3D models not only at home, but in the audio editing rooms of my studio. I have both LCD 3D models, and plasma 3D models, and plasma has LCD beat n this respect, and in many respects. Panasonic plasma televisions in particular are especially good at both 2D and 3D performance.

    Enjoy your set, cause I sure am enjoying mine!

    Worf,

    Sorry to hear of this impairment you got courtesy of our military.

    I recently (2 months ago maybe) heard an interview on NPR with a woman who was born without the ability to see in 3d, similar to what you describe. After much failed therapy and anything else she could try, she somehow trained herself little by little with some exercises to be able to gain the ability.

    I do not remember her name or the book name but possibly a search on NPRs site may yield a result.

    You must be very young or very stupid, the way you enjoy "assuming" things.
    WHEN my main store reopened I was invited to check out the HT rooms,
    six with different systems.
    ONE was an eighty two " MITS DLP, perfectly "calibrated"
    by one of the techs that worked there, at least the best they
    could do, anyway.
    WATCHED it for several hours, at least as long as I could
    until the headaches kicked in.
    PEOPLE actually believe these sets are safe, which means you can watch them just like a "2d" set, you think aspartame
    and FORD PINTOS would have taught them something.
    Out of two experiences in a "perfectly" calibrated(sorry, "assuming" things is your dept) I have had one bad and one good experience, that is a fifty percent failure rate.
    I KNOW the "system" is "new"(warmed over polarized glasses
    tech) especially to those such as yourself that doesn't know any better(CAPTAIN EO at DISNEY WORLD used the same system
    over twenty years ago) but its nothing new under the sun to those
    who have been around the block not once but several times.
    THE "NEW" 3d System(s) are one thing for sure, a full employment plan for lawyers.
    AND I will have the last laugh, as usual.
    BUT YOU PROBABLY VOTED for Obama, so noit much can be expected, I GUESS.

    Quite easy to make assumptions, given your inane ramblings.

    Given that your definition of "calibrated" entails nothing more than eyeballing, and you've resorted to attacking me in the past for using a calibration disc, a little skepticism about your observations on "perfectly calibrated" is in order.

    So, what were you actually watching? And how many hours equals "several" (given that you think that TV watching consumes an "entire evening")?

    Nope, the "perfect" calibration is your assumption. You don't use calibration tools, so how would you know that the picture was properly calibrated in the first place, or that some other customer in the store didn't hit the reset button and erase all of the "perfect" settings?

    Leave it up to you to derail another topic into an idiotic political rant. Those conspiratorial whispers in your head must be rather annoying at this time of day.

    MORE viciousness from mr "nice" guy. I THINK someone
    who has worked on sets for decades can calibrate one.
    AND i don't really care if you do "calibrate a tv". THE RESULTS
    must be quite amusing.

    So, what were you actually watching? And how many hours equals "several" (given that you think that TV watching consumes an "entire evening")?
    DEMO blu ray, travelougs and coming atractions

    Oh yeah, they're ssssooooooooo dangerous! Is it the drugs, or do you have some childhood trauma you want to share with us?

    There were no customers. And thanks to OBAMANOMICS
    there never will be. ALMOST as deadly was the tornado
    which wiped out the consumer electronics market for
    months. I WAS INVITED over as an old customer who had bout quite a bit there. THE STORE never made it to opening, sadly,
    like you did not make your GED.

    Leave it up to you to derail another topic into an idiotic political rant. Those conspiratorial whispers in your head must be rather annoying at this time of day.
    NO "CONSPIRACY" , JUST HUMAN IGNORANCE AND GREED.
    Wait until half the people have a new tech, then hit em with warmed over tech that's been around for forever, has never been tried in large doses, but causes headaches in smaller ones.
    Deny , deny, deny.
    THEY DECIDED that paying out lawsuits was cheaper than
    fixing the PINTO, the death toll was irrelevant.
    AND aspartame turns into wood achcohol in your system,
    causing nerve damage, but so what?
    And the same people who bought you "needlevision", ELCASSETTE, HDDVD and so forth now unveils the latest
    gimmick, and hope to make a bit more than the lawsuits are
    going to cost.
