| Thema: 3D TVs offiziell am Ende | Antwort auf: Halt die Presse! von Icheherntion | |
| [http://www.businessinsider.com/3d-tv-is-dead-2017-1] The last two TV-makers to build 3D functionality into their sets, LG and Sony, will not build any new sets this year that can show 3D movies and TV shows, CNET reports. LG and Sony follow other TV-makers — including Vizio, Sharp, and TCL — that removed 3D technology from their product lines. Some possible reasons 3D TV never caught on: - Not enough content. DirecTV and ESPN stopped broadcasting their 3D channels in 2012 and 2013. - The glasses needed for 3D were clunky and annoying, and they made people feel self-conscious while wearing them. - 3D TVs were and are perfectly good 2D TVs, so 3D features weren't often used. - 3D movies were closely associated with Blu-ray Discs as movie streaming started to gain traction. - 3D TVs need careful calibration and can cause eye strain. - Maybe it was always a gimmick. Ask yourself: Have 3D effects ever really impressed you or affected your viewing experience? [https://www.cnet.com/news/shambling-corpse-of-3d-tv-finally-falls-down-dead/] I asked LG's Tim Alessi, director of new product development, why his company's TVs no longer have the feature. "3D capability was never really universally embraced in the industry for home use, and it's just not a key buying factor when selecting a new TV," he said. "Purchase process research showed it's not a top buying consideration, and anecdotal information indicated that actual usage was not high. We decided to drop 3D support for 2017 in order to focus our efforts on new capabilities such as HDR, which has much more universal appeal." Sony's reply was similar, if less detailed. "Based on current market trends we decided not to support 3D for our 2017 models," a representative told me. But some viewers will be sad to see the feature go. My colleague David Carnoy, for example, enjoys it at home on a regular basis with his 2015 LG 65EF9500 OLED TV. "It's a shame they're killing it after 3D was finally perfected with passive technology on a 4K-resolution OLED TV," he said. "If it had started out this good, it might still be alive today." Im Kino wird es uns wohl noch auf absehbare Zeit weiter aufgezwungen (das örtliche Cinemaxx z.B. hält sich bei 2D Vorstellungen, gerade für O-Ton, immer "vornehm" zurück, in der ersten Woche tut sich da meist gar nichts und 2D Vorstellungen werden erst recht kurzfristig im Kinoplan sichtbar, im Endeffekt sitzt man dann doch meist widerwillig in der 3D Vorstellung, weil man halt gute Plätze reservieren wollte und zum Reservierungszeitpunkt keine 2D Vorstellung in Sicht war). Persönlich hätte ich gerne die 3D-Option im Heimgebrauch gehabt, wenn ich mir in ein paar Jahren einen neuen TV gekauft hätte. Wobei ich eh kaum BluRays kaufe (und die 3D Versionen natürlich meist noch teurer sind), weil analog zum Spielekauf keinen Nerv mehr auf Disc-Wechsel und Platzbedarf in der Wohnung. Die Streaminganbieter liefern doch kein 3D Filmmaterial, oder? Jedenfalls - als Option hätte ich das bei einem neuen TV schon mitgenommen. Im Kino dagegen habe ich überhaupt keinen Bock auf 3D. Nichtmal wegen des 3D Effekts (der geht schon klar, wobei es manchmal je nach Film und Kameraführung schwierig sein kann, den "Fokus" zu finden), sondern vor allem wegen der matten Farben durch die Brille. |
