On the subject of 3D, I personally don't think its going to catch on all that well for home use, it is entertaining to see it in theaters on a huge screen, but on a 50" screen I don't see getting all that much pleasure from it.]]>Nov 24th 2008 11:02PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/I see the current Panasonic PTAE3000 has as a couple of poloroid filters. I wonder if this is a stepping stone to produce 3D in conjuction with a silver screen.]]>Nov 25th 2008 1:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/
The cost and upkeep on a projector is quite high, every 3000hrs, or about 2 years at 5 hrs a day, you're looking at a $50-250+ bulb, in this case around $350. LCDs are harder to fix if they screw up, but have a life of about 20-60khrs. The cost of this projector is around $2500 in comparison to a 50" LCD being about $1000 less.

Space for a TV and Project is determined by their diagonal resolution, in this example the 50" HDTV would take up a wall area of around 44"x25" screen area vs the 150" projection requiring 131"x74" screen area, this is not to mention the fact that the larger screen has a much lower resolution density unless you up your resolution to 2160p, but then Blu-ray is pointless. The viewing/projection distance is around 20' recommended for the 150" also so you're talking about a much larger room.


I know you were probably being sarcastic but even with the size you're talking about I think 3d is a waste of home-theater time, maybe at some point in the future if holographic projection technology actually comes into pay it might be worth my time, but even with high end home projectors it isn't in my opinion.]]>Nov 25th 2008 2:47PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/
Seriously though, isn't it enough that they have completely un-unified specification for the BD with so much problems, now they'll add this on top of everything else. They just can't seem to get their stuff together.

Hey Panasonic and BDA.. get all players to support seemless set of features first where every disc works fine without any stupid updates or hacks and then try to expand on top of that specification.

Jesus. This will just cause more mess.]]>Nov 24th 2008 11:34PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/Nov 24th 2008 11:50PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/

3D enabled players would somehow combine the streams or transmit them to the TV for recombination.]]>Nov 25th 2008 8:54AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/Nov 25th 2008 6:11PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/Nov 25th 2008 9:30PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/24/panasonic-puts-forth-proposal-for-3d-standard-on-blu-ray-disc/Dec 16th 2008 2:16PM
