Your thoughts - 3d upgrade

[Isphera]

I haven't read the whole thread, but to be honest, you know my opinion of this already Piers.

To EZ and Phant - I tried the 3D they had at i-Lite, and it was much more than a gimmick. I was in the gimmick camp to start with, but within 30 seconds of playing WoW, I was convinced. A little bit of CoDMW2 later, and I was utterly sold on the idea.

Back on the main topic, I would love something like this, so I can see why you would want it.

But I must advise on the side of caution when buying this for two reasons that combine into one. Firstly, I'm sure the expense of something like this will be quite great, so I recommend seriously weighing up the Cost-Benefit of something like this. Secondly, this is still a somewhat primitive technology. It's quite possible that within a year or so, someone may put out a more effective version of this technology that would be cheaper and better. So I would research that and possibly wait a bit until you know that your getting true bang for your buck.

But if you do go for it, I look forward to seeing it in action.

It's literally nothing like the cinema 3d experience and in my eyes the cinema is just a gimmicky form of 2D pretending to be 3D.

i have the whole nv 3d kit going on veiwsonic 120hz screen glasses receiver etc
and although the glasses cost a fair ammount the effect is actually amazing. (you get headaches for the first few times) but burnout or dirt 2 or bc2 they kind of drag you into their world. its alot but i like it alot
