wow never heard of that
the 3d tv’s were a super quick fad that went away in favor of uhd, hdr, and 4k i believe
You’re correct. Projectors still mostly support 3D, so if you’re into 3D that’s the best way to watch stuff or game in 3D nowadays, outside of VR headsets, of course.
These require glasses I assume?
I’m one of the few people who actually love 3D for movies. I’d heard of the TVs but not projectors. I’d watch all movies in 3D if I could, particularly on a large screen like a projector’s. It’s especially great IMO for movies with lots of computer-generated effects - I saw the first Avatar in 3D at an IMAX and it was amazing.
Yeah. Generally for 3D you’ll want a DLP projector, plus active shutter glasses. They still make the glasses, you can pick them up on Amazon. They go for about $20 per pair.
The magic words to search for are “DLP 3D glasses” ideally you want ones that support 144Hz, but most of them do. 144Hz in 3D comes out to 3 flashes per eye, per frame, at 24fps, which generally will give you the smoothest experience. For 60fps content like video games it should go down to 120Hz, which is still one flash per eye per frame.
Thanks for the info. I’ll look into that. The issue with shutter glasses is, in addition to the wire, the fact that you are only seeing every other frame, alternating in each eye, making the image appear at half brightness. Still workable though, if you’re a 3D fan like me. I had a pair of shutter glasses ages ago, when Nvidia drivers used to support them - you could turn any DirectX game into 3D. VR has surpassed that now, by a long shot. I’ll def look into the projector though, it sounds more practical for watching movies with more than one person.
The DLP shutter glasses are wireless, for what it’s worth. The projector inserts solid red frames to for the glasses to sync to.
Yeah. Mine is from the tail end of that, and is also uhd. It’s also supposed to be smart, but in reality it doesn’t do much, which I’m thankful for.
That sounds pretty cool actually
Not running android or some other bullshit really makes it worth its weight in gold.
