I need feedback on your 3D experience at home!

[redonly]

I just received my new Mits WD-73840 73" TV today and after setting it up, tweaking it some and just familiarizing myself with it, I eagerly popped in Cars 2 3d Bluray. My wife and I watched about 20 minutes of it with the Xpand X103 Universal active shutter glasses before we decided to quit. This was our first experience with 3D at home. Well, it wasn't what I expected, not ready to say it was bad yet but definitely different from the theaters with the passive 2 color glasses. My wife already had a mild headache so this experience did not help it any. I will try to watch it in it's entirety on my next day off.

I did see depth but it was not as smooth as a 2D movie, seemed a little choppy and when the scenes changed from one to another I could see the shutter closed on the glasses until the action started again and then it would open up.

I need feedback from other 3D viewers to see if all this is normal? Do I need to give it time and let my eyes adjust to this new technology? Is it normal to see the shutter activated?

I greatly would appreciate any input and will check back tomorrow after work.

I just bought a Samsung LED LCD 55" with 3D. I bought the 8000 model, with the 240 hz refresh, and I've been really impressed with it. You do need to sit somewhat close to it through to get the affect. Our couches are almost 15 feet away and that's too far. The sweetspot seems to be 8-10 feet. Everyone I've shown it to has been really impressed.

Some peope are just sensitive it seems. My wife just can't watch 3D. Even in the theaters, it gives her headaches. Must be some sort of sensitivity to it, but it hasn't bugged me at all.

Does the 3D seem smooth? Can you see the shutters activate when changing scenes? I am just so new to this I am trying to find out what to expect .

Yes, it's very smooth and fluid

Wouldn't you know it, I need a firmware update to fix the problems I am having. :doh! 1: I was reading in the forum over on AVS in the owners thread that the newer FW would fix the problem so we will see how that goes and hope for the best.

Thanks for the input!!

Gladly, I would be upset if I spent all that money and was seeing that as well. Glad it's as simple as a firmware fix. I loved that I could do my firmware updates right onscreen now...I patched up to the latest versions as soon as I got it setup.

If you'd had a chance to check it out now that you've got the FW updated, what are your impressions now?

Thanks!
