I tested out (for fun) a Samsung 3D LED HDTV the other day, and I must say.. I was thoroughly impressed by it. The 3D effect was sharp and crystal clear

still must put on glasses, rite?

i dont rike to wear those silly things...

yeah must, wasn't THAT bad la the glasses..quite cool looking wan

Where did u test it, bro? Is it available in most of the major electrical shops?

The Samsung 3D LED TV and 3D Bluray player is available to see it at BEST Denki KLCC, u must request the person there to give u the specs

I've watched the 3D movies thingy... I dun get it... I still prefer a true HDTV.... without having to put on silly lookin glasses...

watch 3D... make me tired and pening @@ and eye power might increase as well

Thanks for the info , i'll have a look this Friday..

Tested before and it seems pretty good =D. But how well the implementation is very dependant on the video source. If the 3D studios do it well, it'll be very very good +D

very good 3D..can make non 3D movie into 3D..niceeee

the question is:
it s worth buying a 3D TV?
AFAIK, there is only few movie to be released in 3D
and please dont expect ASTRO to broadcast 3D program

dont worry..it can make non 3d to 3D movies

its look very fake.........................i am waiting for the hologram

Hologram... i heard about my company do R&D on this...i'm still waiting

3D make kapala pening. Some even got heart attack n died. Epileptics.......... Better not even dream about it.

agree...wearing 3d glasses make me pening kepala also....

Feel sorry for you guys coz I never experienced dizziness while watching thing in 3D. =\

xperience watching 3D movies (Journey to The Center Of The Earth) before without wearing glasses and without 3D tv.Feel blurrr

I agree that only few movies will have the 3D effect. Then there's no point of getting one so soon unless you want to impress your friends. And I don't quite like the concept of having a 3D TV. If you're watching it with a family of five, you'll just need to get 5 3D glass. Imagine you're having an open house. I don't think everyone will be able to enjoy the 3D effect unless you buy those glasses in huge number. Just my humble 2 cent.

Yupp yupp, the TV is on display at Best Denki in KLCC

What I'm curious to know is..why are there batteries in the 3D glasses and also an On/Off switch on the glasses o_O

Because it use Active shutter glasses

wow, thanks for that.. but the ones used in cinema is not rite? the ones in cinema look like some polarized glasses

True. However they have improved the technology and we don't need to wear red/blue glasses anymore at the cinemas. That really reduce the dizziness side effects.

Anyways, I still have't watched 3D TV in real life. =p

Any1 from my generation remember watching JAWs in 3D at the cinema? Hehe. I still remember the shark victim's hand floating out of the screen towards us.

will get heart attack in no time.

panasonic is having a 3D roadshow...but not sure if its LED haha

If have to wear glasses, why not just go for polarized? It works on all existing sources and TVs and doesn't make the TV look blur when watching without the glasses.

In theory Astro could take the 3D feed of the World cup and convert it to polarized. Instant 3D.

Anaglyph, however... avoid.

I love watching movie in 3D. No headache at all. But the problem is no subtitle in 3D movie such in cinema. Dunno why. Quiet frustrating.

In theater, currently they used 3D red/blue glasses but 3D TV used transparent glasses (shutter glasses). Red/bue glass can make dizziness effect but not with transparent glasses. U can feel a different.

So now, not only I have to keep my remote away from my children, 3D glass also have to 'sorok'.

Hope 3D tv will come very soon to Kuantan, want to check it up.

i've just been to a sony demo yesterday, they were using a 52" LX900 model. i think its very impressive. the fella confirm that the PS3 will have firmware update to enable 3D capability.......I hope all the other components would have similar update.....otherwise itd be another round of research and replacing components.../%¤%&/

3d make my head pening

only can survive about 1 hour if wan to watch 3d movie
more than that sure pening like wholde day

Is 3D image really that gr8..
maybe will go visit Harvey Norman tomorrow to chk it out..

i wonder if can watch World Cup in 3d also..

Saw a clock timer at Lowyat today. 3 days xxhrs xxmin .. for 3D TV launch.

Not sure if its 3DTV or otherwise

panasonic also have 3d led tv

i wonder how it'll work for those who r currently wearing specs(including me)...
anyone with high degrees tried 3d tv at sunway? how was it?

hologram.....i'll giv it a 20 yrs from current R&D to consumer product..

Only in looks. It's really more complicated than linear polarity. The Dolby 3D that's in Malaysia right now (because theater owners are scared to invest in 3D/digital projection because otherwise they have to invest in 2.40 high gain silver screen) is based on interference filter technology. Using a filter within the DLP projector, it separates each of the RGB light into six different wavelengths. Because of this, some people who are more color sensitive will get headaches.

Imax 70mm 3D uses linear polarity method using two projectors; Imax Digital 3D uses a single 2K DLP projector. RealD uses a single 2K/4K SXRD/DLP projector using circular polarity method.

See above about linear and circular polarity. The thing about 3D HDTV standards is that it doesn't dictate that CE companies to employ circular or shutter glass technology to make it work. It's format agnostic, which means that so long as you can get your 3D tech to work on your TV and BD player, then it's your thing. So in the future, we may encounter complications with active shutter glasses that only works on a certain range of 3D HDTVs.

Not quite. Astro can't convert it to polarized. What Astro is in control of is the MPEG-4 MVC (MultiView Codec) as that is the broadcast/BD standard for 3D. The rest is up to how your 3D HDTV/projector handles the MPEG-4 MVC stream.

Agreed.


The reason for no subs is because movies are not made with subs. If you ever watch an English movie in the UK/US, you'd notice this. To put subs in a 3D digital movie is not complicated since the subs would have already been prepared for the 35mm version. However, the local distributor would have to specifically ask their Hollywood studios to embed the subs with the movie so that the subs, like electronic subs on BD and DVD, can be turned on or off.

No subs is a good thing because it forces you to listen carefully and to learn English really fast.

Uh, digital 3D doesn't use red/blue glasses. Again, what you've experienced in Malaysia is the Dolby 3D system. The infitec glasses appear to be red/blue but they are just coatings. True red/blue glasses are anaglyph 3D and doesn't belong in 3D digital cinema.

The majority of screens in the US and around the world uses RealD 3D, which uses circular polarity technology. The main advantage is that the glasses are cheap and recyclable. Some theaters even charge you less if you reuse the RealD glasses (the higher ticket price takes into account the cost of the glasses).

See above about 3D technologies and HDTVs.

You may also need to upgrade your receiver to HDMI 1.4 so that it can correctly pass through your 3D video signal from your 3D BD player; Panasonic solved this problem with their 3D BD player by making it have one HDMI 1.4 for 3D video and one HDMI 1.3 for audio.

Nope. Panasonic is using plasma to deliver 3D HDTVs.

http://www.samsung.com/my/ will launch 3D LED TV Soon

Just tried the Samsung 3D LED at Best Denki just now, they gave the spec, without the specs, got 2 image.. But wear the specs still can see 2 image overlap . but reduce la

I guess the Roadshow is in Lowyat..if im not mistaken..

any1 know the price?

Its nearly 12.2k for 40'. Not sure the prices above 40'.

I heard bigger size 3D LED can cost as rm20k..he..he..

hey guys,

apparently the Samsung 3D LED TV can turn any source into 3D?
earlier I went, they were showing Assassin's Creed II demo in 3D, then the salesperson said you can even watch Astro in 3D...

is this true? I've always thought that the source has to be 3D to begin with...

Hmmm. I'd rather the Panasonic. I'd import it from the US.


As far as I know, the only CE that is touting that their 3D HDTV can do an online conversion (simultaneous) is Toshiba because it comes equipped with the Cell chip. Yes, the same chip that is at the heart of the PS3.

You can do 3D conversion but how good they are is a matter of discussion. Personally unless supervised by the director, I wouldn't want a 3D conversion unless it's flawless 95% of the time.


fuad

Why didn't you ask the salesperson for the FULL DETAILS and share it with us over here.

When you had seen the demo, you should have a chat with the salesman and dig info from him.

I did! i asked him, how does the TV convert normal video souce into 3D, and he just clicked the "3D On / 3D Off" button on the remote

Then I said, as far as I know, true 3D movies are made/directed in such a way that certain scenes would "jump out" of the screen. Normal broadcast (Astro) and non 3D movies weren't made that way. He said "no no, can wan..with 3D tv now you can"

They demo-ed Monsters vs Aliens and Assassin's Creed II trailer.

Monsters vs Aliens was impressive.. you guys remember the beginning..the dude playing with the ping pong bat and the ball was like leaping out of the screen? It looked really good on the TV

Assassin's Creed II trailer... it was..umm..weird..could somehow sense a little bit more depth, but not "3D"..get what I mean?
Probably because it was not meant to be 3D

logically it is quite impossible for a non-3d to be 3d. the depth of the non-3d is not stored anywhere in the source so how to convert any non-3d to 3d in real time? got that so canggih tech meh? any system can do only if there is input for it.... AI? so clever!

First Look: Panasonic's 3D Blu-ray Player and 3D HDTV

http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=4362

hopefully i dont need to replace the components.....the sony fella said the ps3 will have firmware update and ps3 use HDMI 1.3....so theoretically other components would be able to do this too.

as for the price...the 52" LX900 is expected to be around RM15 to 17.5k

I just check it out at Best Denki KLCC yesterday
must be the same sales man.
50" Samsung 3D LED at 18k++
It comes with only 1 specs and additional one will cause you 1k each (According to the sales man).

They convert various mp4 file mainly the korean girl group SNSD... can see that even SD movie file is converted to 3D

Beauty is at the eye of the beholder it does impress me + I'm not a fan of samsung but their 7 series LED and this 3D TV PQ is really better than the rest of the LED TV in the market (i.e. sony, sharp etc).

never understand why they need to this... why not focusing on hologram oredi??

just kiddin... I saw the demo at KLCC last nite... not bad.. but I dun really enjoy 3D that much.. so its just a good experience thats all not really a necessity for me...

Wahh.. so expensive. I will buy it if they reduce a price below rm3000 for 42".

I have a friend, who bought the 40" Samsung 3D LED... but he never use the 3D feature . he says its crap.

This post has been edited by Boy96: May 13 2010, 09:49 PM

I don't mind pay for the crap for $100

Why he/she bought it in the first place? He/she could have got the similar specs series 6 non-3D for a lot less... Some people are just .... grrrrrr

sell cheap2 a bit la... (i don mind 2nd-hand 1... )

I heard the newer 3D LCD TV coming out will no longer need viewers to wear specs is it true?

Anyone know or tried b4 both (with specs n without specs) and can comment on picture quality of both?
