3D Poll: Will 3D at Home Make a Comeback? (1 Viewer)

[moovtune]

I have 293 3D titles. About two months ago I bought an all-region blu-ray player so I could get the titles released overseas as well - hence "The Mummy", "Seventh Son", "Terminator 2", "Ratatouille", "Universal Soldier Day of Reckoning", "Valerian" etc. I'm a die-hard 3D fan and am disgusted at the studios for abandoning it after trying to sell it to us as the next big thing. Instead they are now selling us UHD 4K that's not really 4K most of the time but up-converted 2K. I have a 4K player but I only buy the "real deal" 4K titles. But if they put out a 3D title, I'll get it every time.

No. 3D in home is dead. I think I got my Mitsubishi 3D equipment out a total of 3 times in the 78 I've owned it.

Unfortunately they will never get rid of it because they can charge more for tickets.

Ok, then. You don't get your wish.

And vinyl?

You get a chuckie thumb.

That's what I'm going to do. I hope they will drop in price though $400 is a lot.

One to add to the list is The BFG 3D. The region B has ATMOS!! The others don't...

That's an instructive graph. If 2016 and 2017 numbers were included, I think we'd be seeing close to half the 1973 levels. My, aren't we a fickle consumer base!

Remember 1973 was during the oil crisis. They weren't manufacturing enough records to meet the demand back then. Today, LPs are a tiny niche market. People are using streaming to get music now.

What's this got to do with the 3-D forum that you are using???????????????????

 

[John Sparks]

Well, I'm not double dipping anymore, but I have all the newest releases in my basket/cart.

Can't wait to see them in my dedicated HT!!!

An indirect comparison to previously nearly dead formats making a surprisingly decent rebound

See post 160, but feel free to see this chart as a mirror of how 3D will make its comeback!

Thanks for the mention of "The BFG". I missed that one on 3D. Now ordered.

Just a quick reminder to those not following BFG releases and without Region Free player

The UK/DE/Fr 3D sets with Atmos are Region B Locked
Teh India 3D is region Free, but has no ATMOS

There is a Netherlands release which is region free with Atmos available from bol.com (very well respected Retailer), but it's only a 1 disc 3D ONLY release so there is no 2D disc in the set.

 

[Radioman970]

I bought Finnish 3D Pan and Heart of the Sea and both have all region and Atmos. I wish they had BFG too.

"Vinyl LP sales accounted for 8.5 percent of all album sales last year, and 14 percent of all physical albums sold in 2017 -- respective increases of 6.5 percent and 11 percent from 2016." (ABC News)

What percentage of the overall consumer music business?

Are there any 4K tvs with 3D? I didn't think any were made

There are no "current" 4K UHD TVs that support 3D. If you can get your hands on a 2016 LG OLED model, you may be able to get 3D.

Thanks. How?

To quote Han Solo, "Well, that's the trick, and it's gonna cost ya." You're just gonna have to hunt the interwebz for such items, and be prepared for a serious case of sticker shock.

Assuming I got the 2016 model LG OLED, would I have 3D? Would I need some kind of upgrade tech or reprogramming? I get the feeling that you know the answer to this.
