[ALL] 3D Gaming on new Samsung TV.

[jms493]

OK real quick I want to give you guys a little review of some games I played yesterday in 3D.

Samsung UN55C7000

Gran Turismo 5
I would say this game really isn't in 3D. The only thing that stood out was the on screen over lay. The gauges and such appears to be in front of everything. There was some depth. Watch the replay in 3D....nothing.

NCAA Football 2011
This TV allows you to convert anything to 3D. I tried it with a regular game and not much doing.

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.

Next I am going to try MLB the Show and Motorstorm (heard this one is good)

I did watch Shrek in 3d for a while and it was very cool. The way I can explain it is you feel like you can reach into the TV. Nothing really pops out but there is quite a sense of depth.

3D is a neat little feature. I would NOT buy a new TV just for 3D but if your in the market for a new TV I would spend the extra 100-200 and get it.

Sidenote: put in the Dark Knight on this TV.......holy shitballs is that amazing Really looks incredible.

Purchased the 55 inch TV for $1799 with no tax and no shipping cost from www.Paulstv.com. Came with 4 Shrek movies, 2 glasses and a Samsung BD players. My freaking Dad paid $1599 b/c he ordered the 46 and they were out of stock and they offered an upgrade for 299 more.....incredible.

I was leery of ordering from this place but everything went very smooth.

BTW I don't see the big deal about wearing the glasses. I mean it is 10 pm at night and I am by myself or with my fiancee wearing them...who really gives a fuck. They are easy to wear and very light.

Lucky bastard

Thanks for the review, but I still don't see myself putting on glasses at home

 

[tigstah]

cool thanks for the review
best movie i saw in 3d, a christmas carol. the animated on that came out last year.

i saw a demo of the show when i was in a sony store. that was pretty cool if they could pull it off.

Watch some sports in 3D. It's pretty cool.

Appreciate the review though I have no intention of going 3D until its glasses-less which sounds a couple years off. I have heard football in 3D is pretty bad ass though.

I just don't want to wear the glasses. And I don't want to drop a small fortune on more retarded glasses for when people come over. Ridiculous how much they cost.

To summarize...Love the idea of 3D, hate the idea of glasses

 

[jms493]

yeah I have been researching how long before you don't need glasses. They are predicting 7-10 years away. They say we are stuck with the glasses for a while. Which sucks. My fear is some break through tech comes out and 2 years from now 3D tvs are out without glasses and affordable. Then my 3D feature is a waste.

I am not buying more glasses...fuck that. The only people that are going to enjoy 3D are my girl and I. Bring your own glasses!:datass:

This is going to be my next big purchase sometime in the future......nice review jms

 

[jms493]

Hopefully I will have more time this weekend to fart around with it and check some more shit out.

One thing is insane is the 39.99 price tag for 3D moveis.....wtf? Sure Shrek is great and all but I want same real movies in 3D. Give me Batman or Saving Private Ryan in 3D!

DJ....when you are serious about buying, hit me up. I spent WAY too much time researching this shit (i started looking in August with the expectation I would buy Black Friday week). When I finally placed the order I was relieved. I mean fucking Samsung has like 20 different models of LCD, LED, and Plasma....drove me insane. Came down to size, brand and then price. When I saw the price was about $500 cheaper then Best Buy.....I jumped on it.

How bout Jackass 3D


That'll be great! :smug:

Why wouldnt you play black ops online in 3D?

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.

 

[Rudi]

Im with MVP on this. 3DTV has never been something I am interested in.

 

[jms493]

I guess it could be a little distracting....kind of hard to explain. Not sure what kind of lag there would be also. For online twitch games like that I would put it on game mode to reduce input lag. Not sure you can ply in 3D in that mode.

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.
