The end of 3DTV has come. There is an article in my Sound & Vision for this month announcing the end of 3DTV. No major TV manufacturer makes 3D sets anymore. Chalk 3D to history. You can add it to CED, HD-DVD and Betamax as a failed video technology.
Tant pis. (Too bad.)

I personally own a 3D TV, but I've only used the 3D function once. The glasses needed felt a bit heavy, so it would start to hurt after a while. At least not comfortable to use after a while.. I cannot be held responsible whether this is old news or not. I do not follow 3D news and could actually care less about it. I just saw this news in my Sound and Vision magazine and thought that I would pass it on to this forum in case not everyone had heard. I always thought that 3DTV was just a brief fad and was for those that could afford it. My Bravia HDTV is adequate for me and I have no plans on replacing it. The fact that you have used the 3D feature only once does not justify buying the TV IMHO.

xtempo wrote: anyone know about the BDs? Have they stopped doing 3D or are there some still coming out? I am just curious and never was into 3D as it seem gimmicky. I recently got a copy of Big Hero 6 on 4/25 that has 2 BD's. One is normal BR video and the other is 3D BR. So, they still are making 3D BD's. I cannot imagine that they will continue to make 3D BD's if the 3DTV sets are now out of production. It looks like 3D BD's are going the way of HD-DVD's.

I bought my TV back in 2014 I think it was. 3D was all the rage back then. Once you passed a certain point in price, you had no choice. I wanted a high end TV, and bought a Panasonic VT60 which were the best thing available. Personally I didn't like the idea with 3D, but since it were included I gave it a shot. Didn't want the Smart TV functions either, but it were included as well. Kind of wish I got a Pioneer KRP-500 when they were available.... Latest 3D title I bought on blu-ray were actually Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn. Still haven't watched it, but might give it a try with the 3D glasses.

(twice) and never used the Dolby 3d glasses as it made all the whites tinted dark, it was like watching a dying xenon lamp.

The last 3D movie that I have seen was Spacehunter, Adventures in the Forbidden Zone. The movie was released in 1983 so I must have seen it in 1983 or 1984. It was released in 3D and yet I cannot remember wearing the 3D glasses in the theater. There were 3D effects like a gun being aimed at the audience; but, that was about all I remember. I have the movie on CED in normal 2D. (Strange, I cannot find a copyright date on the caddy. I had to go to the internet to get the release date.)

Good morning: Dumbchemist, Hippiedalek, Laserbite34, Audioboyz1973, Laserdisc_fan, Substance, Sega3dmm, Samaron, Nissling, Xtempo, Forper & Laserpaal, Enjoyed reading of your views on 3D Blu-Ray and can relate and agree on all that you have mentioned, however the following does apply and can be related to by others here. When choosing to purchase the Blu-Ray Movies that I have liked over the last 6+ Years, I generally went for the Collectors Set with 3D + 2D Blu-Ray & DVD ect..... Over the last Year or so I have now been purchasing the 4K / 3D 2D & DVD when offered....... It's a collector's thing & so wanted the options. 3D is subjective from one person to the next and so what I write here is purely a personal opinion; Viewing a movie in 3D is all about choice and the pursuit of optional fun, as long as the job was done correctly and not as a second thought. Director: James Cameron's vision with AVATAR and possibly with the four coming Sequels from 2020 to 2025 was to take the viewing public to the next level of immersive movie experience, and I for one appreciated that vision. Up to this day my Pioneer KURO 60'' is without 3D and so I was unable to view such content, but when my Screen became faulty around 7+ Months ago and around 4+ months ago this became unwatchable / Unviewable. I have been working hard towards the the Goal of purchasing a new replacement Screen, it was not my aim to go down the 3D route However the screen that I chose to purchase this Monday 15th of May has this feature. It's the active 3D and comes with 2 pairs, and not the Passive version. 1) The Screen chosen is: SONY 4K ULTRA HDR KD75ZD9BU 75'' Retail price: £7000 price paid after negotiation: £6549. 2) Along with the screen I purchased a 4K Player: UBP X800 4K Blu-Ray 3D Retail price: £399 after negotiation: £299. 3) And lastly a SONY SoundBar: Sony HT-NT5 Slim High-Resolution Audio capable 2.1ch soundbar with S-Force PRO Front Surround, and Bluetooth Retail price: £599 after negotiation: £499. I must admit looking forward to Viewing all of my 3D Collection at some stage when it all arrives. Arriving This Saturday: 20/05/2017 & removing my Old KURO, Sad to see this go to be honest. The TV has enough 4 HDMI 2.2 version and plenty of legacy inputs for Laserdisc Composite / Scart and I shall be purchasing an analogue switcher box to HDMI to connect the rest of my old tech to this. I hope that you are all well, and it will be interesting to see the results when all is up and running. Kind Regards to everyone
