Sorry, nothing really to add. I’m just starting to get involved in 3D. I have a couple of 3D optimized screens coming in, in a couple of months and am trying to get in some content, and be able to start playing, and testing. As to your active shutter glasses, usually when that happens, you just have to reset the shutters, there’s usually a button to do that on all the active glasses I’ve seen.

As to dimming and sheen, as I’ve said, just getting started, have nothing to add, I haven’t gotten that far yet. -art

One thing i have noticed at 3D movies is a dimming effect as well as a bit of sheen from the polarized lenses. I wonder if ‘active’ optics would have an advantage there.

As I start building a few components for home theater, would you recommend a polarized screen, just to be prepared?

I’m just starting to look at 3D. I’ve been following the progress for a couple of years now. I do expect to review at least 3 3D setups this fall. It looks like I’ll get a shot at the projectiondesign, the Digital Projection, and at least one other. I’m now arranging for 3D optimized screens, and 3D content, to make it all viable.

Still looks like probably at least 2 full years before it’s even remotely viable in the home. We shall see. Some standards are needed. Will we need 120fps capable projectors or will we need 240fps. With LCDTV and plasmaTVs as the primary drivers of the move into the home, well, 240 is already a reality.

Whether we’ll need active, or passive glasses is a big question too. Many 3D solutions were shown at Infocomm, some using active, some passive.

Whatever it ends up as, it will be fun getting there, and hopefully the powers that be will get it right. As many know, right now, DLP projectors are handling 3D with a single projector, while 3 chip devices like LCD and LCoS are typically using dual projectors. As Col. Klink would have said: Verrrry Interrresting! -art
