Hi there any1.....since Sony claiming tat they will be launching 3D model for the FIFA world cup, i have been searching information for this new technology but unfortunately couldnt find any......

any1 have any information about this 3D model LCD TV/player or technology kindly shared with me here......thanks

The 3d will be not be a traditional broadcast and the consumer will not be able to watch this by subscribing to it at home.

The broadcast will be in sellected cities around the world and unfortunately Malaysia is not part of it.

Some games will be sent live to some 3D theatres and you would need to go there to watch it.

However they are recording a lot of games in 3D for later release on Bluray.

there is a lot of info on line about it
google "World Cup 3D" and "World Cup Fan Fest"

Little noob question.

Do we really need special 3D hdtv to watch 3D movie?I thought it is only about how they produce the movie. Can current lcd or plasma watch 3D movie with only the 3D glasses. For example I bought this movie "Best of Both Worlds Concert: The 3-D Movie", can I watched this on my normal plasma tv?

Thanks

i think can gua...... coz my housemate desktop oso can produce 3D movie... now waiting for 3D glasses.... hope can get it today

For 3d movies you will need 3 d glasses,3d tv and the channel or disc must also be supporting 3d....

3d TVs for consumer will be launched next year however for the world cup only in the US will provide channels supporting 3d.

For now...a 20 inch 3d tv costs like 3 k USD lol

yes you can watch it on any LCD/Plasma TV with the provided 3D glasses

also i understand that the PS3 Slim will be able to support 3D maybe with F/W upgrade, R&D is being carried out

any source for this 3D technology for reading??

and isit really tat we must need to use HDMI 1.4 to be able to play 3D movies??

this year there should be some tv manufacture launching the new 3D ready or 3D model LCD tv......

and i read from some forum claiming tat to play movie in 3D, you will need at least a 3D ready LCD and a 3D blu-ray disc player with HDMI 1.4......any1 have any other info about tis??

http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/directv...coming-in-june/

direct tv will lauch 3D broadcast this year

still a need to wear 3D glasses???

i'm a little confused...in theaters, some movies are in 3D...the most recent being AVATAR, which is also shown in 2D.

so the cinema actually has a 3D projector? (if there's such a thing)..if yes, means this 3D technology been around long time ago...

if no, means the normal projector they use to show 2D movies also can be used to show 3D movies?

if that's the case, means normal plasma or LCD tv also can be use for 3D contents la is it? say if AVATAR is released on Blu Ray now..with 3D effect (maybe they package a 3D specs along with the disc) then i straight away can enjoy 3D la issit?

if dun wear 3D glasses, how can see 3D effect?

3D has been around for a long time.
Alfred Hitchcock even shot Dial M for Murder in 3D back in the late 50's or early 60's.

There are 3D experiments in japan that have 3D without glasses.

The new 1.4 HDMI 3D is a newer HD 3D format. There are lots of ways to do 3D on TV & film. The old red and green glasses will work even on a SD broadcast. i remember in Australia over 20 years ago a 3 stooges movie playing on Ch 9 and we all went and got the cardboard glasses to watch it at home on our SD tvs.

Watching normal TV or BD with 3D glasses does not 'magically' transform 2D movies into 3D unless u smoked somethingy b/4

i thought the next gen of 3D cinemas, LCD and bluray players dont need to wear glasses already, just with our naked eyes

if want to wear glasses, it really makes no, our existing LCD and bluray players oso can oledi, just like hanna montana, jonas brothers BD, correct....

thats y now they produce new LCD ( maybe they have different "screen" layers and 3D bluray players/disc ) to display it in 3D effect for us to view w/o glasses, next gen disc will potray 2 sided data side A (3D) side B (2D)

so if our TV and BD player not equipped... just flip the 2D version

That is "old" type of 3D which create 3D effect by using 3D glasses that 1 eye is blue and another is red or something like this. If you use 3D glasses from Avatar, you will know that you wouldn't see the 3D effect from this movie.

The 3D glasses used in Avatar is future 3D glasses for new 3-D Ready Blu-ray players and TVs.

I rather wait for the REAL 3D...
where it's almost or rather like Virtual Reality
Imagine yourself inside the movie instead of still looking from the outside...

its highly possible M'sian model is a trimmed down model compared to UK or US or other '1st world' country. current lineup is the evidence.

seems there's no longer any HD ready tv's in the 2010 lineup...which is good thing..stops questions of HD ready vs FHD panels...

but only the VT25 series comes equipped with 3D tech...others no 3D...V series are premium series...now itself cost RM25k...with 3D might cost a jet fighter engine

G is targeted for hardcore elites...S is more likely to sell better...U & C series replaces X & C series, which are entry level models...

Cheapest to get big screen 3d is optoma HD66 projector. There is 2 types of 3D display, one is using polarizing glass and another is LCD-shutter glass.

that must be next next gen Virtual reality already.. if no need specs to see 3D..
