It's this iteration of the HDMI spec that carries all the control codes that lock the 3D source to the screen. Had the signal come from a 3D Blu-ray player , the Panasonic telly would have known what to do with it. Given Sky 3D's resolution, we feared that images might look overly soft.
But this isn't the case. The picture clarity is akin to that of a decent DVD. This is most evident in the case of Sky's 3D football footage. Although the beautiful game itself doesn't really benefit at all from the stereoscopic process, crowd scenes gain genuine depth -- it really is like looking through a window. The detail is good enough so that you can pick out faces in the crowd.
Sky is taking a different 3D approach to different sports, so results tend to vary. That said, its use of 3D graphics and overlays is consistently great fun. While we were largely underwhelmed with the football, the channel's boxing test footage proved astoundingly involving. Frogs, lizards, butterflies and sundry amphibians all perform well in front of the 3D camera, with tongues and eyes bulging out of the frame on cue. Experimental footage of the City of London, sped up, proved equally mesmerising.
While watching 3D content, we experienced an almost irresistible urge to move closer to the screen far more so than with 2D footage. Even with our nose up to the glass, we just didn't feel that close as the 3D image receded. Sky's film show, 35mm , has the potential to be a great showcase for the technology. We loved its special 3D preview episode, shot entirely with eye-popping cameras and featuring 3D trailers of upcoming features and past hits.
Beware, though, that, when in 3D mode, Sky's electronic programme guide remains 2D. Hit the pause button and it's like taking a spear in the back of your retina. The next logical step would be some kind of 3D EPG, but don't expect such a thing anytime soon. We auditioned the service on both passive and active 3D TVs. Given that passive screens shave the resolution off all incoming 3D signals which is why they're far from ideal for playing back 3D Blu-rays , we had low expectations for their performance with Sky.
Our expectations were confounded, though -- the viewing experience was fine. You can expect to experience some differences in 3D picture quality with different manufacturers' TVs, if only because of the different picture-processing technologies deployed. Philips, for example, is planning to use proprietary picture-upscaling technology to beef up the half-resolution transmissions.
We predict this is one area in which TV vendors will begin to crow during the coming months. JustinL Well-known Member. VisionMan said:. JustinL said:. Totally disagree, if you have a decent tv with passive 3D it works great. Not going to disagree with you regarding VR, it has a selective market but will never be that big imo.
So yes it was a fad for the masses problem was it was poorly implemented and it was pushed on to us. There is still definitely a place for it! Its a lot like where Dolby Atmos is at the moment.
Hardly anyone uses it. But I believe that one will survive. I've been using HDR for a while, far better than "4K" imo gives a richer picture experience. An LG E6 was manufactured in ? With your track record you've now put the kiss of death on it. It's totally gone from Sky Q now.. Deleted member Guest. Retro Oswald said:. Yes, it's still there - please check before you post! Thanks for helping me locate it. But they removed the shortcut from where it always was and any search for the phrase 3D in text search returns no hits.
BUT if you voice search, it returns 3D results. It only offers SD or HD versions. No 3D download option. TJT1 said:. You must log in or register to reply here. Similar threads S. Replies 0 Views 1K.
