      Well that is your choice, Their are a lot of 3D Bluray movies that exist and that i intend to watch https://www.jbhifi.com.au/movies-tv-shows/movies-tv-shows-on-sale/jb-blu-ray/?p=1&s=displayPrice&sd=2&fc=_sATTRIB-2133_s%3A%3A3D%20Blu-Ray%3B&mf=_sATTRIB-2133_s&fm=false

      275 to be exact

        Yep, JB still sell them but one day it will be collectors item you like it or not.

        This is 2013 stats, going down hill, even worst now.

        Then this is 2015, not doing any better either.

        None of the block busters did not came in this year in 3d, does that tell you something?

        I'm not against 3d movie, but 3d movies on TV is not so practical. I rather go to movies and watch them if they around.

        Based on the above stats, i don't think even movie makers will bother, not just TV manufactures.
        Out of 708 movies in 2015, only 40 were 3D, 5%? , according to the article which is 14% drop than previous year.

          You pay the same for a Imax 3D movie as the pysical Bluray, or $5 more for bluray … so i would rather keep the move then only see it once… plus i'm a pirater with a 10Tb Harddrive hehe

          @Most Wanted:
          Well I don't mind watching a good movie in 3d once in while in cinema, something like Star wars or Aliens.
          Something different to do other than on your couch, but none came in 3d. So 3d is dead.

        • lostn on 30/05/2017 - 14:35

          @Most Wanted: Pirated 3D only supports half resolution, one for each eye. It's not good. Proper bluray supports the full res, except not enough people cared for it to keep it going.

    Wait a couple of years and they will be on the road side when the people who swallowed the 3D excitement swallow the next "upgrade".
    They will need smello-vision or something and the old 3d sets will be worthless.

    • Most Wanted on 18/05/2017 - 09:13

      Once everyhting is 4K for smaller Tv's and 8K for larger tv's , people wil go back to 3D since their is nothing else to be added, and for people with Bad eyesight they will have to simply turn the 3d off, not that hard.

      • stjep on 23/04/2023 - 13:12

        people wil go back to 3D since their is nothing else to be added

        Nothing needs to be added.

    What a disgraceful commercial decision by LG! They need to change their ways or they'll soon lose market share! Here's the correct petition link - https://www.change.org/p/lg-please-revive-3d-on-a-2018-oled-…

  • mskeggs on 18/05/2017 - 09:46

    To be fair, it probably goes some way to show why they are being discontinued that you have been reluctant to buy one at full price until now, and you are obviously very keen on the feature (much more so than the majority of potential customers).

    • Most Wanted on 18/05/2017 - 10:19

      well yeah, I think they just want to make the tv's slimmer, or put a cheaper processing unit in since the tv wont need to Process 3D images anymore .. Its kinda like how Nintendo uses Tn panles in everything exept the Switch, its to save money, increase profits

      i'd still be careful with the switch though… they might change it to Tn in two years when nobody is reviewing it anymore.. they did the same thing to the 3DS

      • lostn on 30/05/2017 - 14:38

        Nintendo products have always had a Fischer Price build quality to them. It's how they are so profitable.

          @soulmind23:
          Grow up.
          Fischer price is high quality, durable, colourful, aimed at kids (and costs a premium). All things true of Nintendo products.
          lostn may have meant it as an insult, and it appears you took it that way, but I suggest it is far from the case.
          Opening with name calling just marks you as making an infantile response, ironically considering you were trying to argue that the product in question was suitable for adults.

        • lostn on 02/03/2018 - 18:31

          @soulmind23:

          Fischer Price does mean cheaply made, but it DOES NOT mean it will break easily. If you look at history of reliability, Toyota cars have historically had few failures compared to German brands which are much more nicely engineered and desireable. That engineering makes the car fun to own unlike a 'boring' Toyota which only gets the job done and little else, but the complexity of the design means there are more parts, and more possible points of failure. It's also more expensive to own and maintain because the parts are more expensive due to complexity, and they need replacing more often.

          Nintendo makes simple consoles that don't break easily. The other guys make better consoles, but they are much more overengineered, like a german car, and have a higher fail rate.

          Understand? That's build quality.

          All you have to do is look at the resolutions and quality of their screens in the handhelds. They've used TN panels with very low resolution compared to the competition. The Switch which is IPS finally, but only has a 720p screen on a what is it, 6" tablet? 7"? That's a pretty low pixel density if you compare it to other tablets and phones. There have been 720p screens in mobile phones since 2011. Everyone else is on 1080p or 1440p. While the other consoles are doing 4K gaming, you're getting 720p (1/9th of the resolution of 4K) on your Switch. While other consoles come with 1TB of storage, the Switch has 32GB of which only 25GB is useable, and you have to pay for expensive flash memory to download the other half of the game that's not on the cartridge. While other consoles have a real online service, on the Switch you need some monstrosity of an adapter with 3 cables going out of it, one to your phone, one to the Switch, and one to your headphones. Other consoles don't need your phone. You can just use a bluetooth headset and that's that, no cables, clean setup. You can't do voice chat without your smartphone on your Switch which is one of the most boneheaded decisions Nintendo have made. And then there's Friend Codes.

          That's Fisher Price. Which I repeat, has nothing to do with reliability or how likely it is to break down. But the competition having better made consoles is inarguable. Pound for pound, spec for spec, feature for feature, Nintendo's designs have been inferior. I don't know anyone who would argue otherwise. Point to a single component in the hardware and tell me it is superior to its counterpart in the PS4 and XB1. You can't, because it's a Fischer Price console.

          Get it? Now go away.

        • mskeggs on 02/03/2018 - 20:52

          @lostn:
          To be fair, I will argue that Nintendo gear is superior in innovation, and pretty good for durability. For performance, I agree PS and XB are obviously more advanced.

          I like Nintendo because they produce new ideas, and don't leave them half baked like many new products, but spend the time to knock the sharp edges off and make the technology approachable for kids and parents.
          The consoles have all delivered in that aspect, and it looks like the Switch has too.

          Not sure why that makes people call names!

        • lostn on 03/03/2018 - 20:46

          @mskeggs:

          I think they do lead in innovation.

          What I don't like is innovation for innovation's sake, as opposed to the need for it. I saw the Wii generation as one giant gimmick. The waggle controls for most games were tacked on, using gestures for buttons. This doesn't actually change the gameplay, only the input. On top of that, it had to come with Gamecube graphics. This 2006 console was less powerful than the 2001 OG Xbox from the generation before it.

          For the Wii U, their selling point was that you could play the game while someone else wants to watch TV. I have never in my life found myself wishing I could do this. It's not something anyone I know has ever asked for either. I have 4 TVs at home, and only 3 people live here. I just bought another TV that's on the way, but I'll be getting rid of another to make room for it. Also I disposed of a bedroom TV a few years ago. Nothing was wrong with it, just an upgrade. We don't fight over TVs here. I actually do my console gaming on a computer monitor.

          For the Switch, it's basically the same idea as the Wii U, except you can take it outside the house with no range limits unlike the Wii U. But to achieve this, they had to make a low power draw 'console' (and move the processing to the controller and not the device hooked up to the TV), as opposed to a high power draw console (e.g. the Wii U and any other console). In reality it's just a handheld that they are calling a console, because they packed in a dock so you can hook it up to your TV. You could do this with the Vita and PSP if you bought the accessory. The idea is not anything new. It's just seen as revolutionary because it's Nintendo.

          To get the ability to play your 'console' on the go, it needed to be a low power device, which is not what I wanted. The Wii U was fine for that purpose. Nintendo did it because they wanted to get as far from the Wii U as they could. That's the sacrifice you have to make, and not one I was willing to accept. What's wrong with just making a handheld and a console and keeping it two separate products? If I want a device for on the go, I'll play the 4DS. If I want to play at home, I'd like a powerful console. If I'm on the TV, I don't want my experienced to be limited to what a 2014 mobile ARM processor can do.

          And as usual, 3rd party developer support suffers as a consequence of Nintendo's philosophy of not competing on power. The games you'll play are mainly Nintendo and some indies. To be a Nintendo fan, you can't be a one console gamer. You have to buy at least one other to get the 3rd party games the other consoles have. If you don't care about Sony or MS games, you still need to buy one of their consoles. But if you're a PS4 gamer who doesn't care about Nintendo or MS games, you don't need a second console. Ditto Xbox.

          Back to Fisher Price. I saw a Nintendo patent where you have VR on the Switch buy inserting your Switch into a head mounted unit (aka VR headset). Personally I don't know how they can be granted this patent when Samsung already did this idea with Gear VR years ago. A bunch of other mobile VR headsets are out there too, like Google's one, and even cardboard. But in any case, the Switch has a 720p screen and it's 6.2". This equates to a very poor pixel density, and when viewed in VR, it's going to be the worst looking VR you've ever seen. Even the 580 ppi of my Galaxy phone (4X the res of a Switch and with a smaller screen) looks pretty bad in VR with a very hard to ignore screen dooring effect when viewed that close. The 236 ppi Switch is a joke if they attempt VR with it.
