Its been out for ages, why all of a sudden has it had a surge in popularity.
Unless they can do it without glasses i still find it kinda stupid.

Hmm, cant say anything interesting here. Ive never seen 3d picture yet. No movies, no games, nothin ... has anyone seen it? Is it that impressive?

haven't bothered to go to cinema for a 3d movie so far, but i've seen a 4d short movies, those are amazing.
4d? How does that work...
I've seen several 3d movies, including here at home, but I wouldn't want to do it all day, you'll get a headache. Also the fact that you need to wear glasses is useless, especially for me, I already wear regular glasses. In the cinema on a really big screen it's quite cool, but at home, it's looks alot cheaper, and you won't really notice the same, even if you got a 50" TV or whatever. Just my 0.02.
saw a chelsea game in 3d at the pub, quite good with depth and all, especially with that view from above the goal down the pitch (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z8Ke ... 6LU/s400/6.Pitch+View.JPG ), although even then could've done with being closer (was packed) or it being on a bigger screen. 4d intrigues me, go on..
Its just a bollocky gimmick to sell more TV sets to people who don't need a new set, bit like HD, I bet a large percentage of people who buy a HD set have no means of getting a HD signal to the TV.
I've lost count of the amount of people I've corrected, "Hey, my new HD TV looks fantastic, you can really see the difference", "really?, what HD source are you using?", "source?, huh?", "you do realise you need a HD source, like SkyHD, Bluray, a HD console, or other form of HD broadcast to actually get HD".................normally the discussion ends there.

I saw this short clip once with 3d glasses, it was in space.
You could REALLY see difference between visible planets (closer) and the stars as a background.
The stars were probably 2d though, since it was ~infinitely far away.
Caused a nice effect though, it was subtle, and very nice to see.
But for action movies and such, I wouldn't recommend it. It's a nice little touch which doesn't really work.

I'm proud to say I still haven't seen Avatar!!
Come back to me when 3D TV's without glasses are reasonably priced. It is like anything though, when flat screens first came out they were expensive but as ever get cheaper. Playing some games in full 3D sounds like fun, though I am not sure how well it would work in practice.
I am the only person I know that still has a CRT television. That said, I paid $230 in 1996 for my television and the picture looks better than any wide screen flat panel tv that I have seen. I have yet to even watch an HD signal.
$600 for a crappy TV or $1100 for a really nice TV isn't cheap in my book. That is quite expensive. And as I said, I still haven't seen one, even the $1100 units, that looks better than my $230 14 year old CRT since I've yet to see an HD signal.
Oh, and that 14 year old TV of mine is, well, 14 years old. I don't know anyone who has a new TV that isn't on their 2nd unit after 5 years because they broke.
Thats because CRT's handle SD a lot better than an HDTV does... they look like crap when having to scale up a picture. For SD only, CRT's are still the best... but a proper HDTV running from a proper HD source will be much, much better.
LCD TV's are "affordable". You can walk into a shop and pick up a 32" brand-name unit which does 1080P for less than £350. My 32" Panasonic CRT came ex-demo for pretty much the same price a few years ago.
I saw the demo of a Samsung 3D TV few weeks ago, it was the kind of 3D with "Avatar" glasses, with a slight grey tint.
To be honest the first impression was pretty amazing, it's crisp, detailed, rich in colour and a few notches better than my experience with Avatar at IMAX. In one scene there's an aquarium and a polar bear swims by, almost every strand of hair feels 3D, and as if the whole bear is 2 feet in front of the actual TV, that was something.
I still think it is too early to buy a 3D TV though, it really isn't viable unless we can do without the glasses, cos I'll polly need ten pair of those when my friends come over. And secondly that isn't much 3D material to watch, let alone good materials, I can't imagine buying Blade Runner for the 5th time just for some artificial aftereffect 3D.
That's something to think about after all of our TV is available in true HD.....(I am talking to your, Formula One Management!)

All my televisions are still CRT, the newest one being from about 2005 and the oldest one I think is from the 1980s (I think?):
We have two of these, except the casing is dark grey, not beige.
Both are in full working order and one is used on a regular basis
Basically small 3D cinema with hydraulic seats(platform) with extra effects added (wind, water spraying on you when landing on water for example...)
and the seat is poking your back, i almost shit myself when the aligator jumped quickly. there is even something under the seat thats tickling your feet, for example when rats running around... thats was nasty but its frikkin cool experience ! tried it in baltimore with gf on vacation 
but its frikkin cool experience ! tried it in baltimore with gf on vacation the only time I watched something with actuators in my seat was when I was at a summer camp at a local museum 6 years ago, it was a short F1 (formula one) film.
On the subject of 3DTV, I saw a demo of 3DTV today at a tech shop, I wasn't impressed at all with the 3D, it looked really flat, and it looked too unreal (well, I was watching "Monsters vs Aliens" in that demo)I checked with both pairs of glasses, same result. You need those weird battery-powered glasses as well, and in my point of view, it's not worth it.
Stores are selling 3DTVs for $2,000 each. I honestly think paying two thousand dollars for a pointless feature for a TV is overkill. When this technology started getting into computers, there was a big boom in 3DTV promotion imo. NVidia is going crazy about it.
I have a 37" HDTV at home, and a HD cable box, and it's not much better compared to Standard-def. I watch standard-def on it too. At least i'm happy now.
The main reason why I use LCDs is because they use less power, (both my PC's monitors are LCDs, one is from when LCDs were new, and one is from the past few months. my new one is energy star certified. another reason is that they don't have that annoying ringing noise CRTs have.

I want films and the ocassional series, I don't watch tv per se. For me tv is all about home cinema, of course I want to watch Milla Jovovich in 3D, I just preffer her life size when given a choice and televisions are just too small for me. They're just not immersive enough.
Only worn out CRTs should make a high pitched noise. You should only get a very quiet buzz from a CRT.
When they make LCDs that can beat the 2048x1536 resolution of my CRTs (or they wear out, but they've been good ~10 years so far), I'll upgrade. Until then I'll live with my behemoths in the safe knowledge they'll never be stolen.
Never need put the heating on either.I know, I just thought there are only 3 dimensions.
jep 4d is just a marketing term that describes an entertainment presentation system combining a 3d film with physical effects.
I'm stereoblind (30%L to 70%R) so all this 3D nonsense doesn't work for me.
sound like something they should develop more for porn viewing
The last thing I want while watching porn is something jabbing me in the back
well no
but a force feedback codpiece could be a bigger success than the apple newton and sliced bread combined
