Masters in 3D

Featured Replies

They are saying the masters will be filmed in 3D. Does anybody know do you have to have a 3D TV to notice any enhancement? And a golf program in 3D, where is all this leading?

Have seen 3-D TV at a few NASCAR races in Richmond and Bristol.

Really kool.

Will knock your socks off!!!!

We had a special TV screen and had to wear the 3-D glasses.

Picture was excellent and the 3-D spectacular.

I did get a little queasy until my eyes adjusted to the screen but after that I just sat there until my friends told me it was time to go.

You will love it when you see it.  :)

From what I hear you have to have a 3D tv. They cost a little more then a 1080i hd tv of the same size. So if you just paid over a grand for a new tv a few years ago is 3d worth it. As far as I know espn is the only tv network you can see 3d on. As far as movies unless you have kids there are very 3D movies also. If I was you I would just wait a few years to invest in a 3d tv. I am still watching tv and playing ps3 on a ten year old tv. I I have seen hd but not 3d. As far as I can see hd tv is not worth it. I want a hd tv just for video games.

Actually...

3D-ready TV sets are those that can operate in 3D mode (in addition to regular 2D mode), in conjunction with LCD shutter glasses, where the TV tells the glasses which eye should see the image being exhibited at the moment, creating a stereoscopic image. These TV sets usually support HDMI 1.4 and a minimum (input and output) refresh rate of 120Hz; glasses may be sold separately.

Mitsubishi and Samsung utilize DLP technology from Texas Instruments.[4] As of January 2010, Toshiba, Samsung [5], Sony, Panasonic, and LG all had plans to introduce 3D capabilities (mostly in higher-end models) in TVs available sometime in 2010.[6] 3D Blu-Ray players and DirecTV broadcasts are also expected in 2010.[6] Samsung began selling the UN55C7000, its first 3D ready TV, late in February 2010.[7]

The Chinese manufacturer TCL has developed a 42-inch LCD 3D TV called the TD-42F, which is currently available in China. This model uses a lenticular system and does not require any special glasses. It currently sells for approximately $20,000.[8]

LG, Samsung, Sony & Philips intend to increase their 3D TV offering with plans to make 3D TV sales account for over 50% of their respective TV distribution offering by 2012. It is expected that the screens will use a mixture of technologies until there is standardisation across the industry.[9]

The Samsung referenced above is currently selling for $3000+.

IOW, just more than a 'little bit' more than your every day LCD HDTV.
