It's these kind of launches that, I don't know why, make me cringe. "you're the first person to see the picture in the UK!". Who cares? "Exclusive interview with Derek Martin" Pardon? And hearing his interview, I'm thinking I'm associating myself with the wrong brand! 😮 Celebrity Coach Trip? Good lord. I need to lie in a darkened room for a while.

I have studied 3D vision in the past and the cut out effect is quite common with photographs and there are psychological reasons why it occurs. It is not inevitable but it is more noticeable on some scenes. I think  glasses will always be needed with the present systems as the left eye and right eye images need to be separated.

I have seen Holograms where the cut out effect was absent and the solid effect was remarkable. It was some time ago and there were two problems that limited the entertainment value of demonstrations I saw. The first which might now have been solved is that the effect was monochrome. The second was that the result was static. To get round this will be much more tricky. There is one feature of holograms that is very different from stereo photographs and similar is that glasses are not needed.

I suppose that if there was enough determination it could be possible but the bandwidth requirement would be rather intimidating and the resolution of the recorder would need to be high. Being jaundiced about it I wonder if it would be cheaper to ask the performers to come to ones home.

hiim at the age saw cinemascope todd ao and also 3 d in cinemas 3 d then was the same as now in principle things shooting out of the screen and had to wear glasses it failed. i watched football in 3 d just to see if different sorry will stick to hd

I'm not too much into the 3D effect since there are so few movies available with it, but the new BV7-55 does have an improved panel with a higher number of LED lights. I just ordered mine in the USA to replace my 10-year old, 32 inch Avant. 3D or not, this is going to be a huge change in my home theater experience!
