UHD Review 3D Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ -I, The Jury -- in 3D Blu-ray & 4k UHD (1 Viewer)

I finally got around to purchasing this. Considering all the stellar reviews and comments on the 3D I was initially dismayed by the excessive amount of ghosting I was experiencing, especially in the lower portion of the screen. Before the opening credits ended, I began looking for a root cause of the issue with my setup.
To make a long story short, I had recently had mounted my TV on a wall bracket in my basement. Location of the studs forced me to mount it higher on the wall than I would have liked. I found (accidentally) that when I stood up level to the display the ghosting was non-existent, so I tilted the TV on the bracket to "level" the display from the perspective of a seated position. The 3d presentation on this disc is every bit as wonderful as everyone had said.

Lesson learned when viewing 3D at home - look at your own setup before being critical of the source material (with the exception of discs like "Comin' at Ya!", which is a headache inducing eye strain no matter what your setup is).

If you are seeing any type of ghosting, it's the device (pj/player/TV), never the disc.

Not only that, but when seeing 3D anywhere, it tends to be the case that the further you are from dead centre of the screen height-wise, the more ghosting you see. Also applies horizontally, but to a lesser extent. When viewing Puss In Boots: The Last Wish earlier this week in cinemas, I reserved seats as close to dead centre in all directions as possible and guess what? No ghosting. Nice to know that tilting works too.

I just asked my wife how her viewing was in our home theater, I take the center seat and she sits next to me: She says its fine, even though she’s off center.

I explained to her what ghosting was and she has never seen it. Here’s the odd thing, i’ve never sat in her seat.

I used to see it when I initially bought my pj, but after getting the settings dialed in, never have had a problem since.

After I noticed the ghosting was corrected by centering on the height of my display(via tilting the tv in my case), I tried walking from side to side in front of the display; there seemed to be little impact (i.e. ghosting) from the sides.- only when I was viewing from considerably below center did the ghosting appear.

FWIW, I only see ghosting in theatrical screenings when at horizontal extremes [aisle seats], but vertically, it can be as little as two rows from dead centre.
