    3D Panasonic plasma made me a believer.

    When looking for a new HDTV I wrote off 3D as just another hyped fad. The reasons I purchased the Panny 55ST30 were based on it's great picture, great reviews and the fact that it offered more features at a lower price. I seriously doubted I'd even use the 3D option except for the times the grand kids came over. But how wrong I was!

    The Panny came with the "Avatar" 3D plus two sets of glasses. I bought an economy priced 3D player just so I could at least check out the 3D and I'm so glad I did. Watching Avatar on 3D was like an out of body experience for me.

    If you haven't seen a 3D Panasonic outside of a lousy big box store demo you are in for a serious treat. And now that Directv has several free 3D stations that deliver a stunning picture I am seriously hooked.

    Great to hear that you're enjoying the TV and the 3D function. Seems that Avatar is a reference standard for image and sound quality no matter what format it's on.

    As with HD, it seems that most store demos do a poor job at conveying what the 3D format is truly capable of. When I was shopping for a HDTV, I had to adjust most of the TVs just so I could actually look at a somewhat comparable picture when trying to decide between different sets. Fortunately, I've calibrated all my TVs for more than 10 years, so I know what the reference spec is supposed to look like. But, a lot of consumers don't have that reference available to make the adjustments, so they're left with the defaults.

    The manufacturers are partly at fault for purposely overbrightening and sharpening the default picture settings in order to stand out in a brightly lit showroom. But, the stores also share the blame by placing the TVs in a less-than-ideal setting (i.e., warehouse with flood lighting), and feeding them poor quality demo loops rather than actual program feeds directly from a source.

    With 3D, I run into the exact same issues, with TV not properly setup, and very often I notice that the shutter glasses are not charged. With this kind of indifferent attention to detail, it's easy for a 3D demo to go awry, if the consumer does not know what good 3D is supposed to look like.

    No surprise there, considering his fanatical attention to detail during the post production for Avatar, with separate color profiles used during the mastering process for multiple 3D processes, theater configurations, and output formats.

    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.

    Within three years I would expect every large screen HDTV to offer the 3D feature.

    I'm already viewing several 3D stations on Directv and looking forward to football on ESPN3D this fall.

    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.

    Hey, I appreciate your concern and the information. I'll look into it. Not sure what it'll entail but hey, "the only thing that beats failure is a good try" as my Daddy used to say.

    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.

    I guess if your highest frame of reference is Best Buy, then your audio and video world is much too small and limited. The level of lifestyle integration, and the performance and quality I expect would not be found in a Best Buy store.

    Best Buy does not sell beds or a bedroom like environment, so it is not likely a place where I would think of sleeping. Perhaps is it time to back away from the medication.

    I take it you have limited vision in at least one eye. With only one good eye we see in 2D and depth perception becomes so impaired it may be considered a vocational disability for many jobs.

    If a person is 20/20 in their best eye and the other is only correctable to 20/200 it still represents a 25% loss of vision based upon disability standards. Legal blindness is considered 20/200 in both eyes after best correction and automatically qualifies one for Social Security Disability benefits. Total blindness is very rare as most people considered as "blind" have some vision.

    As usual you have no comprehension of what I SAID, guess they cover reading comprehension in high school.

    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.

    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?
    Bookmarking this so you can eat a word sandwich later.

    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?
    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.

    In other words, you really don't have a clue whether the settings were as "perfect" as you claim. I guess truth is now considered viciousness in your paranoid world view.

    Of course you don't care, because you don't have a clue what a calibrated set is supposed to look like. The fact that you've attacked me for using a calibration disc says all that needs to be said about your ignorance on what calibration actually means.

    Yeah, my results are better than what I see in nearly every place that sells TVs, which is nothing new since I've been calibrating my TVs for more than 10 years. Only those few stores that keep their TVs calibrated and rechecked have comparable picture quality. Many people that come over to my house have asked why my TV looks better than what they have at home, and I simply point out the difference between the default settings and calibrated settings. And I've lent out my calibration discs, with everyone who used them noting a major improvement in picture quality afterwards.

    Just more cut-and-paste political nonsense to divert attention from your cluelessness on the original topic -- rant, wash, rinse, repeat. Nothing new from you.

    NOT SO "clueless" as to be an unpaid lab rat for a tech that has
    crashed and burned more than socialist utopias.
    SHOULD not care, when the lawyers are getting rich and you
    are seeing a therapist to learn how to see normally it will almost be funny.
    ALMOST.

    Poultrygeist- How do you like the physical appearance of the ST? I've read reviews of it being "chunky" and the shiny bezel being distracting. Do you even notice? That's about the only thing holding me back right now. Since I'm getting a new set I almost think it should look sleek... I know, a minor and petty thing when the picture is what really matters...
