Comment on 3D Tennis, A Roundup by 3DTV Admin

Hi Tony, I don’t think 3D is as much about things popping *out* of the screen as seeing depth *in* the screen, unless the producer or director wants to throw in an unnatural “pop-out effect”. As for darkness, that’s a result of using half the TV screen for each eye and I don’t think much can be done about it apart from boosting the TV brightness level, at least until the bandwidth is available to show each eye a full picture (frame sequential, as opposed to the BBC’s side-by-side transmission). Is the darkness different when viewing a 3D Blu Ray disk?

I watched the tennis in 3D on my Samsung 50 inch Plasma TV. I agree with comments that 3D is great as far as depth is concerned but nothing reall popped out of the screen which I thought 3D was all about.

Perhaps I’ve got my TV set up wrong.

In conclusion, as good as it is, I would like the picture to be a lot brighter or is it me?

I managed to view a short extract of the men’s final, broadcast by the BBC.
I am inclined to agree with those who think the extra dimension really does add to the viewing expreience. However I didn’t think that the BBC quite got things right.
Some of the depth was overdone so that the players ( in some shots looked like little models ) This definitely added considerable depth to the picture but at the expense of realism. Lessons to be learned? I’m surprised that the BBC made some elementary mistakes with the depth perception. Perhaps it was done to emphasise the 3D-ness of the experience?

Some disparity in colour/contrast on L and R pictures at times. Not as good as football I thought.

I have the LG 3D TV with passive glasses, the same as those used in the cinema. I also wear prescription glasses and they work very well.
Great TV, it can even convert a normal 2D picture to a pseudo 3D – this is not brilliant but my 8 year old loves watching chilldrens channel in this fake 3D!
