3D TV is a Fail
I'm watching Chuck, because that's a show I try to catch regularly.
This week's episode is 3D, and it's annoying.
They claimed that this wasn't like the old 3D, no, this is better. Instead of the orange lense they've changed it to amber. Yeah... it's the same. There is a blue and amber outline on everyone if you watch without the glasses.
With the glasses... the color is wrong, the cheapy glasses are uncomfortable, and you still get the ghosts, even with the glasses.
And the '3D' looks like 2D cutouts layered two or three deep. It doesn't look like a true three dimensional space inside the TV. It's a paper cutout set. The glasses make everything darker. Plus the paper strip down the middle is wide enough that you see it, so you can tell a distinct blue side and a distinct amber side. Maybe with better glasses it wouldn't suck so bad, but I think this idea is a fail.
I think whichever executives are saying all of our movies are going to be 3D like this ought to change their mind. It looks like '3D technology' hasn't changed since the 50s.
