3D Gaming on new Samsung TV.

[jms493]

It's funny that at age 19 I feel like an old fart who doesn't want to even bother learning or using the latest technology. I have absolutely ZERO interest in 3D and I know i'm not alone with this. If anything, I'm glad they are pushing out these 3DTVs because that makes the 1080p HDTV's much cheaper.

I felt the same way when I was shopping but in some cases they were the same price as non 3D...so why not.

My main concern is whether or not my receiver can handle 3D. How can I check?

I know the Giant Bomb guys were talking about this recently. Both Ryan Davis and Gerstmann recently bought 3D tv's but Gerstmann said his receiver wasn't compatible.

it is probably not.....I bought a Pioneer VSx-820 on BF for $199 at BB. It replaced a 4 year old Onkyo and my system sounds way better. I think there is a thread some where on the AVS 3D Forums that has a list.

I dont know what to do with the old receiver now....I might save it for when I out of this townhouse and into a real house and maybe have 2 rooms I can have surround sound.

Whats the big deal about wearing 3d glasses? Use the all black ones with the clear lenses they give away at the theaters..... unless you need some special ones then carry on.

Those don't work with 3D TV's. Different technology. The glasses used for the TV's are actually powered.

Call of Duty: BO
This game has a stereoscopic view where you can split the screen in 2, turn the 3D mode on your TV to match and put on the glasses. Well let me say this was pretty cool. You definitely see the gun is layered and in front of everything else. The reticule also sticks out. I was at the part where you launch the guided missile into the Soviet rocket.....holy shit that was pretty cool. I probably would not play with it online but campaign I am going to play the whole thing in 3D.

what does this mean in bold? how was the show? is this all on PS3 or can the 360 do 3d too? 1700 for a 55 inch 3d doesnt sound bad at all

hard to explain.....but you can do it if you have the game. Just go to options and pick 3D. you will see 2 images on the TV. Like split screen play left and right. Then you go into your TVs 3D settings and it will ask you what the screen looks like and u pick that setting. Then put your glasses on and the screen is clear as crystal.

PS3 have very few games on 3D. I will try the show now.

[Maynard]

what sounds confusing is why black ops would split the screen. after you set your tv and put on the glasses does the screen look like 1 screen or is it still split?

[jms493]

It looks like 1 screen.

Nice info. I was planning on buying a 3DTV next year. I know the prices are nice now. I can wait till they get a little lower and want to see if they come out with some universal glasses or the price of the glasses come waaayyy down.

Nice review. Nice call on Dark Knight (best blu-ray movie out imo). I'm going to wait this storm out for price drop and bigger selections. If nothing materializes, I will option MVP's route and go massive lcd or led.

[JBregz]

Nice review man.

Well I just played the 3D demo of "MLB the Show". It is a preview of what to expect for the new game in 2011.

I can honestly say I was impressed. The players really do stand out. when the ball is in play you dont notice anything but the whole pitcher batter experience is very cool. I mean it is not in for face 3D. It is just a cool feature that enhances the game experience. I would play this soley in 3D next season.

I cant wait for games like Killzone 3, Motorstorm 3 and The Show 2011 come out and are fully 3D. Not the stereoscopic stuff. My TV instantly recognized that the show was 3D content and told me to put the glasses on.

I wonder though if this 3D shit is harmful on the eyes. I feel like my eyes are working a bit more during this mode....not sure.

I heard Madden is in 3D is that true?

I'm getting the 46" 8000 series LED 3D HDTV tomorrow at Best Buy. I checked out the link from Paul's (and a ton of other places with higher prices) and the only thing I would be saving is tax plus I have about $300 in Reward Zone points and a 12% off coupon to use on the matching Samsung HW-451 Sound Bar w/wireless sub-woofer. Best Buy is also running the same promo with the Samsung 3D starter kit (2 pairs of glasses, Shrek Movies), a Samsung Blu-Ray player and WiFi link for the TV included for the sales price.

I know the content is thin out there right now but the main reason that I decided to go with 3D was that there was only a couple of hundred dollars difference in the cost and the kick ass bundle. I'm looking forward to checking out some Black Ops on the PS3 and ESPN3D broadcasting full-time starting next month.

This is going to be schweet
