Panasonic 3D TV Does Not Disappoint

Engadget recently had a chance to try out Panasonic's 3D demo rig, and, aside from the goofy glasses, report some impressive results. "Active shutter 3D technology once again did not fail to impress, though large format action content like the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony and action sports footage was far more impressive than the movie trailer. The benefit of a picture where everything, regardless of distance from the camera, is in focus is one of the biggest benefits 3D has going for it and nothing makes that more apparent than video from a large stadium. Aside from a few glitches from a pair of the glasses being low on battery and flickering annoyingly throughout, the framerate was smooth and the picture sharp, a marked difference from the jittery motion we witnessed during JVC's 3D demo earlier in the day."

    A) I have no ears and can't use them! Sucks to be yyou, there not selling to your demographic

    B) I only have one Eye. Clearly they should stop developing product for people with two eyes.

    C) I have problem[X]. we don't care.

    D) It's not real 3d. STFU. It has Height, width and depth. 3.D. It is only 1 angle, but still 3d.

    E) I don't like it! So? why do you bother posting

    well, that should address 80+% of the incoming posts.

    Chump. You have a 5-digit UID, you're supposed to wait for a noob to read it and post a summary in the hope of garnering positive karma, which you could then mod down as you chortle diabolically about redundancy.

    Seriously, what is the world coming to? A 5-digit UID who actually RTFAs (heretic!) and then passes along some useful information to the rest of us?

    We have entered *the twilight zone*. (Do do do do, do do do do, etc)

    I know I want high wattage wireless power beamed directly at my forehead. I don't know about anyone else, though.

    The alternative was already invented some time ago... Its called LSD. No glasses, batteries or any of that junk required; and everything looks 3D, even things that other people can't see!

    We studied holograms in a general studies physics course I took back in the late '70s, and thats REAL 3D.

    I took that same course - it was in 1978 I think. The hologram said something like "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi - you're my only hope". What was the name of that course again...
