you seem to misunderstand the point of my posts.
i know current 3D technology sucks, and im not dumb enough to fall into your specmanship trap, unlike some poor sodden folks, who have no idea what they are getting into. i dont see a single board in showrooms telling the NEGATIVE aspects of 3D, like potential headaches, insomnia and even seizures. where did you pull out that "People who buy 3D TVs pretty much know exactly what they're going to get, as I'm sure they've all watched 3D movies or tinkered with it before purchasing one" factoid?
ofc, the OP has no other choice than to replace his tv with a more expensive one!!! and he doest even mind!!! hell, he has enough money that, if you asked nicely, he would even replace the small portable tv in his potty with a huge 55 inch 3D behemoth!!! double the fun for everyone involved, and the tv company gets to laugh all the way to the bank.
anyhow, i dont think i want to argue over semantics, so you can just do what you want to.
You seem to have a misunderstanding of some of the facts. Allow me to explain: Yes, 3D can give you headaches and seizures (I have never, ever heard of someone getting insomnia from watching 3D TVs). However, that is limited to active 3D TVs. Generally speaking, people with photosensitive epilepsy can get seizures when they are exposed to flashing lights. People especially susceptible to such seizures can even get them from looking at a flickering neon light! That is why companies who promote their active 3D TVs issue health warnings about their active 3D sets because rapid flickering is required to create the 3D effect. And due to the way passive 3D works, it's simply not possible for passive 3D to cause seizures. These are facts.
And yes, I would say that the average buyer, if they're going to buy a 3D TV, would know what the kind of 3D effect that they will be getting when they purchase one. As you said, 3D TVs can be quite expensive, so I'm sure that people will check out the 3D for themselves, whether at a store or with a friend's 3D TV, before making the final purchase. No one would expect the type of 3D that you were describing earlier, as that technology doesn't exist.
And just out of curiosity, there are so many other threads in this forum about people purchasing 3D TVs -- why do you only target this one if you are so passionate about trying to get people to refrain from buying one? I just want to have some fun and meet new people on this forum!
LG WRman Sherlock, out!
