That was the reason given when LG dropped it to compete with competitive HDR models, but I think Samsung et.al. dropped it earlier because of consumer 3-D inefficiency back lash that never allowed consumers to experience director-intended depth for artifact and health reasons.

Twice the horizontal resolution of the 3D frame will be gained, which is significant if degredation becomes noticeable on older setups and inefficient 3D displays.
The 3D feature is authored on a 2D Blu-ray using the standard 2D MPEG-4 AVC encode format in 1080P, where one frame contains two...
Region free is DVD Beaver's error.
Both my region B Vaio and an OPPO 103 set to region C show a black screen with the words "Invalid Region" when trying to play "REDHEADS".
DVD Beaver probably didn't erase the memory of the Oppo where you have to press the stop button twice after playing the...
While that is true for a cinematic experience, the new OLED direct-view display today gives both classic and modern 3D movies unsurpassed ghost-free visually detailed experiences in daytime drape-opened living-room environments just by putting on passive glasses. The most convenient 3D...
It's more literally correct to call Blu-ray 3D "UHD 3D" than what the industry is calling "UHD" as a consumer "4K" derivation of the 4K digital standard of the theatrical multiplex showing images in native 4096 x 2160 4K resolution.
Blu-ray 3D, like this newer Ultra HD consumer format is the...
Inviting any authority for comprehensive advisement:
The same way that passive 3D works theatrically in movies, passive polarized lenses provide, when viewing a passive 4K/UHD display, a different real-time eye-view to each eye in Full HD 1080P resolution to each eye. Both eye-views map the...
Passive 3D on UHD/4K displays resolve 3D in full HD 1080P resolution for each eye-view. Every UHD pixel is in use as both eye-views are displayed at the same time, the same for views displayed theatrically.
Active 3D is displayed as alternate sequential Left & Right views the brain has to...
Problems frequently arise with spontaneous active 3D viewing decisions that comes with added requirements of pre-planned battery charging, placement of accessory charging cords, possible battery replacement, inevitable child-glasses monitoring & maintenance and the eventual replacement...
Home consumer projection doesn't have much of a choice. If passive was an affordable alternative it would be preferred.
The hassles with active glasses is a key consumer experience for 3D at home.
Unfortunately that still will perpetuate home consumer problem experiences associated with active glasses. It's 3D Passive glasses that theatrically thrives and only passive glasses produce little to no hassle experiences at home.
Just can't see avid 3D enthusiast's supporting 4-K only consumer media.
Director-intended theatrical 3D productions are flourishing and need to be reproduced at home!
I have experienced both 3D & the alternate UHD/HDR10 formats which have been combined in the combo-pack, and I've activated the...
A good question Todd, but where to look for answers! Please clarify which "3D movies" category.
Category types:
3D movies authored on Blu-ray 3D for region A, B, or C?
3D movies on all types of media (includes anaglyph VHS, DVD, & field sequential)?
3D movies that exist on film?
Fürst der Dämonen 3D (Viy 3D) (Forbidden Empire 3D): Limited 2-Disc Blu-ray Edition and was also released theatrically in the U.S as "Forbidden Empire 3D".
$9.99 and free shipping was a good incentive for my purchase. The documentary is filmed in IMAX native-3D, which provides a real-world depth experience.
The IMAX countdown has been recently updated with an illusional increase intensification experience on the March 2015 Blu-ray 3D release of "IMAX: Island of Lemurs: Madagascar 3D".
The illusion of dramatic positive parallax involves the numerical elements expanding through what looks to me...
The 3D experience should be the other way around, but due to early evaluations like IMAX 3D--TERRIFIC FORMAT, MODEST RESULTS we now see 2.5 3D for main features today.
:o
Sorry to hear that.
Haven't used Corel WinDVD on either of my VAIO laptops for years. My last update was in 2010.
Cyberlink PowerDVD software has been very reliable with periodic updates. Currently viewing 3D Blu-rays with PowerDVD 15 in Cinema mode.
