Well, that's it for another 20 years

Sony and LG drop 3D consumer TV production.

So long, 3DTV - we won't miss you - BBC News

And the fad has passed, the final nail in the 3DTV coffin there...

I love my home 3d.

It will never die, it simply resurfaces when content providers believe they can turn a profit by suggesting 3D technology is 'ground-breaking'.

3D is the most pointless tech for the home market. I sort of kind of but not really get why it might be ok for the cinema but even then I prefer a plain old 2D. The worst showcase of this was watching the Hobbit in a local Vue in 3D AND in HFR. It was like watching a soap opera, sped up .... in 3D. It was nothing short of awful.

My inlaws have an x years old 46" Samsung with "smooth motion" feature/bug enabled. Again, just like the HFR malarkey in the cinema, it was unwatchable on movies and no different watching anything else. I turned it off and no-one noticed. People who don't notice it don't care about it and those who do notice it, hate it.

HD is just about enough for me. A good quality source is perfect for home viewing. Especially on a 37" TV... and there's no room in the corner for anything larger...

I like 3D if I'm honest, that said I don't like it enough to watch it all the time.
My TV has 3D on it but I can count on my hands how often ive used it.

However I can see the attraction of 3D but curved screens?

 

[PaulR]

Curved TVs = another way of sucking money off the gullible who like to think of themselves as trend leaders.

 

[Captain Jack]

Hmmm I don't really get curved screens either. Is it supposed to immerse you better but only if you're sat in front of it?

When I first saw a UHD test playing in 2014 it looked 3D anyway to me without any glasses...to have to wear them for the 3D experience puts me right off
