If you watch 3D porn, will you need the glasses?

11: It makes the scenes appear artificial and miniature. When I watch soccer in 3D (at Best Buy) it gives the sensation of watching animated Fussball, not a live game. When I am at Fenway Park I do not really see a line drive in three dimensions. I cannot tell where a fly ball is going by watching the ball, I watch the fielders’ reactions. Same thing for a punt or long forward pass at a football game. 3D baseball or football would give it the sensation of being smaller than life.

#11 Everything looks flat.

Pinging the HDTV list.. HDTV pings!

How many consumer products have ever been successful with the masses if their makers had to tell you they might make you sick?

Cigarettes.

Beer.

Why is anyone wasting their life watching TV?

WE Open a freaking book, turn off the boobtube, cut the cable, ditch the dish. Listen to the radio, go out and enjoy the world.

We cut the cable years ago, we read, we do other things, we are happier, and we aren’t bombarded with liberal crap.

The only thing on our TV is classic TV and Good movies from DVD, everything else we can do without. I am much happier without constant news and constant TV. Lower blood pressure, and I get all the news I need from FR, Talk Radio, and other Internet sources.

cigarettes....

My experience with it is that it doesn’t add anything to the story.

I also really hate that technique movie producers borrowed from television, of following the bullet from the gun barrell to whereever it goes.

I think I’m quite capable of figuring it out when it ricochets off something or hits somebody.

Last year, the Consumer Electronics Association says only about 1.1 million 3D TV sets were sold.

On the brighter side, they ARE out-selling the Chevy Volt!

If you buy a 3D HDTV, can you disable the 3D function for 3D films and shows?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

2. It Makes You Sick Doctors have estimated that up to 20 percent of the population will get headaches, dizziness or even nausea while watching 3D.

No more than get sick when Nasty Pelosi is in the news.

What is a CueCat?

Reason 12: There is no cowbell. If 3D TV had cowbell, it would rock.



I'm just sayin' . . .

[VanDeKoik]

It really is nothing special.

The screen is simply not big enough where the 3D actually is enjoyable.

Maybe for the occasional nature/space documentary or kids show.

11. If you have astigmatism, you can focus only one eye at a time watching 3D TV. Migraine, anyone?

12. If you have floaters, all you can see are the floaters. AIEEE!

[Notary Sojac]

you almost forget what's happening on the field or in a movie. If you're a Chicago Cubs fan, that could be a plus

Damn, that hurt, Dave.

#6 should really be reasons 1-4. The glasses are what continue to kill the 3D fad in the theaters, and kill it even harder in the home. I won’t watch 3D with glasses, period, not in the theaters, not at home, not ever. It was OK when the fad hit when I was a kid but it’s no longer acceptable, the glasses are just too annoying, heavy, dumb, expensive, difficult to “layer” with normal corrective lenses.

The more 3D movies I watch, and they're common now, the less effect the seem to be to me.

I don't know if my eyes, my mind or both are being trained over time to not be fooled by it or not.

The last movie I saw, Cars II, just seemed garbled. No, my eyes are otherwise, great.
