I'm really anxious to see what this stuff looks like in person, but as an aside...

I wonder how many people will be disappointed when they get it home and discover that the 3D images don't actually extend beyond the physical borders of the TV screen, as it is so eloquently depicted on the rear box art of the 3D starter kit (and just about everywhere else 3D is advertised)...

Jason,

Not sure if you were being tongue-in-cheek with that remark.

The image does extend beyond the boundaries of the TV screen.

There are moments where a finger, arm or even a bouncing
paddle ball will come directly out of the TV screen into the face
of the viewer.

The technology, as it stands now, is very impressive. Most
people who have seen it want one of these displays in their home.
Can you just imagine the entertainment value of being the first
to have 3D in the home?


We are still working on completing our coverage mainly for the
fact that we have some personal issues with the technology.
There seems to be noticeable ghosting in the 3D images that
at this point we are uncertain is related to the displays or the
authoring of the BD software.

In other words, right now, we don't think the technology is
refined enough to make 3D in the home the perfect viewing
experience.

More to come over the next few days.

Ron,

I was not being tongue in cheek in the manner that you thought I was. I am familiar with the effect of 3D. In fact, as a software engineer for a company that produces software specifically for the eyecare industry, I've even worked in creating 2-color anaglyph 3-D images from stereo image pairs, and created interactive software applications that, when used while wearing anaglyph glasses, allow the user to manipulate objects in 3D space.

What I was referring to in the image above was the character's head that protrudes beyond the top of the screen. The advertising "message" that I feel the packaging conveys is "In 2D you wouldn't see her head, but thanks to the magic of 3D you can see her in all her glory". We all know that any onscreen image that is effectively cropped by the physical left/right and top/bottom of the screens will still be cropped at the same point when viewed in 3D, albeit they will appear at whatever "depth" the 3D effect will produce. I was referring to the fact that there is no magical mechanism that can enable a TV to produce an image beyond the edges of the actual screen.

Granted, it's impossible to truly convey the effects of 3D on a 2D package (what would be the point of all that expensive new equipment?) so the natural approach is to "fake it" and depicting depth is best done by breaking the physical boundaries of objects within the screen.

As an engineer, I guess I'm just wired to nitpick when things of a technical nature aren't depicted in a manner that's totally congruent to actual use cases.

I have been following the development of 3D for the home with great curiosity and agree that it's a bit early to seriously consider making the jump with all the technical question marks still floating around. It's definitely something I'll be keeping my eye on, and will try to check out in person at a showroom near me one of these days.

Jason,

Ah, gotcha. You have a very interesting background and
look forward to your future contributions on this subject.

Granted, it's impossible to truly convey the effects of 3D on a 2D package (Discount tiffany jewelry?) so the natural approach is to "fake it" and depicting depth is best done by breaking Gift the physical boundaries of objects within the screen.

Thanks for posting it.It is very important.

quite expensive but I guess it is great...samsung is good I think ...some of the things that I use to have are from samsung and it works well...

[SIZE= 14px]Samsung recently introduced the BDC-5900, a 3D Blu Ray player at a lower price point (About $210 street price). It lacks a few features of the 6900, primarily built-in Wi Fi.[/SIZE]

[SIZE= 14px]MSRP on the 6900 is now $349.[/SIZE]

I just received the Samsung Blu-ray BD-C6900 player with my Samsung 8000 3D TV and starter kit. I also purchased 3 - 3D videos from from Amazon.


One of the vids is Blu-ray and it views great. The other two vids are not Blu-ray and I can't seem to get them to work. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting on the player or the TV that I should be aware of to get these to work? Is Samsung proprietary to Blu-ray only?


Any help is greatly appreciated.
