he,he oo nga p400..grabe din..

I guess soon theres also going to be 3D games.

alam ko may mga ps3 3d games na..

Ah finally found this over the web, so at least don't need to change HDMI cables. Sorry Xbox360, you can't do 3D...at least for now.

They reason Sony is able to add 3D onto the PS3 is because both HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.4 has the same 340Mhz(10.2Gbps) bandwidth.

This would not have been possible if the PS3 was a HDMI 1.2 device with 165Mhz(4.95Gbps) bandwidth, which is why existing Xbox 360s cannot be upgraded to support 3D.

However, HDMI 1.4 does allow for features like ethernet/USB over HDMI and 4K resolution (its able to fit that resolution on the same bandwidth because 4Kx2k is limited to 30 Hz, compared to 60 Hz). Theoretically, some (but not all) of those other 1.4 features could be added via firmware.

Although that ethernet/USB over HDMI function sounds good to start that itch.

Panasonic prices its first 3D HDTV: $5,900

If you want to be an early adopter of 3D HDTV technology, get ready to shell out a pretty hefty chunk of change. Panasonic has announced pricing and shipping information for its upcoming TH-P54VT2 3D-capable plasma TV in Japan.

The good news is that the screen hits Japanese stores in just 2 months; it's scheduled to ship April 23. The bad news is that it's priced at about $5,900 in yen, according to CrunchGear. That's a pretty steep price for any HDTV. The slightly smaller TH-P50VT2 will be a little more affordable, retailing for the equivalent of $4,800. Compared to similar, non-3D screens' prices, it looks like the cost of adding 3D to your HDTV comes out to around $800.

3D TV at CES 2010 - Was it Actually Like HD a Decade Ago? (Part 1)

This is a good read:

Soon, all movies will be on 3D.  Even some crappy melodrama.  

My question is when will they start to convert all the back titles in 3D? 

[vx2]

Disney and Pixar already have 3D masters ready at hand.

I remember them showing Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast in 3D in SDCC a year or two ago.

Oh my. Here we go again double dipping...

[popejerico]

I already posted this on the other room and would like to post it here since mas sikat sya hehe...

I'm eyeing the Acer 5360 HD 3D pero sobrang mahal and I'm getting married already the price is 39900 while I found another Acer projector x1261 at 27780php which has 3d capability. More than 10k ang difference... the question is it worth it to pay an extra 10K for HDMI connectivity? Hay... I have a PS3 and xtreamer So maybe ang sagot ko is yes but not really sure kung ganun kalaki ang difference. Sad

[dts-HD 3D]

Picture quality will suffer while watching movies because X1261 will have to downscale everytime it detects a widescreen HD source. It has a native resolution of 1024x768 hence, it is a 4:3 3D ready business projector.

How can it display 3D without HDMI?

[pchin]

popejerico, if your main intention is to view widescreen SD/HD movies, then the said Acer 5360 will not be suitable. As the other members have said, it's meant for business presentation, SD 4:3 viewing, etc. The 3D is a marketing plot for unsuspect buyers.

thru VGA or component video

[frootloops]

3D would be best viewed in huge screens (PJ) and I wouldn't spend $5,900 (as what pchin posted) just to experience 3D in a 50" flat.

You have it all mixed up Acer H5360 is a very much suitable projector for HD viewing as it is a 720p native whereas Acer X1261 is a 4:3 1024x768 native beamer.

I beg to disagree Paul but I started to experience it last night . . . I don't think its a marketing plot, the 3D features of the Acer H5360 performs very well and it really works. I tried playing the Avatar 3D, Batman AA & NFS Shift and the popout was awesome no ghosting and no flickering. I threw in the Bolt 3D trailer and some demo movies in stereo 3D and wow it was so amazing unlike anaglyph 3d where the colors are messed up, in S3D its intact . . . you really have to experience to believe what others have to say about these projector. Games are visually beautiful and more fun to play now I dont think I can ever go back to 2D gaming again.

I second that pang-pj talaga ang S3D bitin sa maliit na screen esp. if you already experienced watching in IMAX.

eto, mas mura:

nice brader, how much did you get the 3d glasses for?

Opss...my bad. Yes, I was referring to the Acer X1261 (as I did mention 4:3 viewing) & its marketing plot. Too many model numbers got my eyes confused.

So when can I come over Bro?  

Same ques bro. Congrat to bro Luther....going 3D na!

[dts-HD 3D]

nice brader, how much did you get the 3d glasses for?

got it for $189.99 fr. a merchant at Amazon . . . the first time I checked last Jan. it was only $170+

You can drop by anytime, does your driver still know how to get here? txt me 

[iiinas]

wow, mahal pala. well, based on your review, its well worth the money! 

[frootloops]

@Paul --  let me know when you are coming. I want to try that 3D thing with Debbie!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Wag naman maginggit? :-( So ano connection mo ngayon sa PJ mo brader? HDMI or VGA? :p Kuha sana ako hanap ako ng 24 months to pay hahaha! Nakita ko nga sa page mo, ang lupet!!!

[dts-HD 3D]

wow, mahal pala. well, based on your review, its well worth the money! 

Compared to buying a new 1080p pj lumabas na mas mahal lang ng konti . . .

3D route
P39,9K(Acer H5360) + 9,4K(3D glasses) + 6,8K(video card) = P56,1K

1080p route
$1000 + shippping ? = around P53K  or  75K if prefered to buy locally.

. . . but mind you that 'konti' doesn't translate to the 3D experience ha, at least for me its priceless

[gunblade977]

Are the 3D glasses you bought a pair or a piece?

[dts-HD 3D]

@Paul --  let me know when you are coming. I want to try that 3D thing with Debbie! 

 hehe patay tayo . . . baka iba ang mag-pop out nyan
