It will also work much better. The 3D method in use now, presenting two different images to the two eyes, is a pretty poor imitation of 3D. It's pretty much only good for jump out at you type of effects. The newer method utilizes a cameras and other position sensors to determine the position of the viewers head and where his eyes are pointing then adjusts the display accordingly. This allows the user to move his head slightly to see behind an object. Stereovision 3D is pretty artificial and works poorly or not at all for people with a dominant eye. The newer type of 3D is very natural and works even for people who are blind in one eye. On the downside, It does require more video processing power and presently is limited to 1 viewer. A movie using this method will require much more data than either a flat movie, or a stereographic representation but the realism should be awesome. |

We cut the cord with cable/satellite almost six years ago. Television is not a high priority in our lives. I know there's a difference, I was being tongue-in-cheek. |

(whose got the oldest TV?) We got a 19 inch Toshiba with an analog dial as a wedding present from my parents. That was in 1977. Still have it, and it still works. |

I have an off-brand department store 19" I bought in 84 that still works just fine. A Technika I think it is. |

When my ex and I broke up, she took the 19 inch TV I'd had since 1977. She just replaced it last week. It still worked, but the kids finally wore her down in their desire for a flashy new LCD. |

In all honesty, I should have commented that the tuner "dial" was not working as well as it should. However, if you could tune it to Channel 3, the dish worked just fine. |

"Tuner dial." ![]() The first color TV I had had twelve buttons for twelve channels. There was a tray that you could pull out, and in there were twelve tuning dials, one for each channel. |

Was your Space Commander wireless? (EDIT: OK, just read in your post that it's indeed "wireless.") The oldest "remote control" I had was wired. The cable was long enough to go halfway across the living room.

My grandfather (who died in 1958) and lived with us before his death, was given one of those Zenith TV's by my mom (his daughter). After he died, that TV ended up in my room. That 'clicker' was loud. I was eight. And, isn't this the perfect example of how threads go off the rails here? Edit: Ax, yeah, it was wireless - which is what made it amazing! Edited by George K, Jan 6 2010, 06:39 PM.

My father has a remote like the Space Commander. He learned you could drop a quarter on a glass topped table and change the channel. |

Colleague of mine went to CES and saw the 3-D stuff. His comments: 1. The systems all uses active glasses. Each eye is basically shuttered with a synch signal sent from the TV (think bluetooth) to tell which shutter to open. So, the glasses run on batteries. 2. A bigger problem - there are no (inter-operability) standards. Each of the demos was standalone for each manufacturer - a TV from one manufacturer does not work with the sending unit (DVD player or whetever) of another manufacturer. Ditto for the shuttered glasses. 3. The good news is that there should be an addition to the Blu Ray specification in the near future that covers 3-D content. My comments: The battery glasses are a killer for me - I hate having to charge/replace this stuff (my cell phone is bad enough). I can just see sitting down and getting into a movie and the batteries die. Everyone looks to be having bandwidth issues as it is (do you get some channels which suffer from a lot of mpeg blocking artifacts?). Presumably 3-D will mean twice the bandwidth (as they will send a left eye and a right eye version of the movie/show/whatever). Anyone have AT&T uverse. You can only "watch" one high def channel at a time - period. Any other TV's are standard def only. How will they cope with sending 3-D??? |
