3D-TV no hit with viewers

[E-Stat]

You cannot use the problems of a few peoples eyes to condemn the entire format.

The question remains as to how prevalent this is with the general public. Is it really just a few? Have there been any studies or surveys about 3D viewing?

While I enjoy 3D, my wife and her (adopted) sister get headaches and positively refuse to watch them.

Ralph, no one has a definitive answer on this. They are guessing about 6-10 percent of the population, but they don't mention whether in the world, or America only.

One thing that is for sure is that folks that don't like it are far more vocal about it than those that do. I love 3D, but I don't sit around enthusiastically touting my pleasure with it. Those who hate it, note their displeasure every chance they get from what I have seen.

Honestly, I would too if I experienced discomfort or pain watching something. This is supposed to be entertainment, right?

My displeasure with 3D are the frame of the glasses. It's very distracting and like looking down a tunnel. This also applies to normal glasses with frames.

I guess if folks are truely keeping up with 3D(instead of relying on past experiences), they would understand that there are 3D glasses of all sizes, including custom sizes and perscription 3D glasses to boot.

The variety and accuracy of the glasses is equally varied as well.

Are you really going to insult our intelligence with a nearly one year old opinion piece that manipulates data to make a point?

According to NDP, sales of 3DTV's have jumped pretty dramatically since last year. But that is not the most important measure since 3D is becoming less of a premium item, and more a standard feature on most televisions. 3D bundles of 3D movies are outselling their 2D counterparts by almost 2-1. Also sales of 3D glasses have also dramatically risen, along with 3D projector sales - all according to NDP.

So 3D may not be going anywhere in your apartment, but they are going somewhere everywhere else.
