Hi Micah and all,
I'm firmly on the side of critic Roger Ebert and director Francis Ford Coppola, who stated (Ebert) that "3D adds nothing to the enjoyment of a movie." Coppola finds the emergence of 3D "tedious".
In my cranky old fart mode, I thought 3D was a gimmick in the 1950s when I was a kid, to get people into the theaters. It lasted a couple of years and I predict the same time span for 3D now.
The viewing experience is quite flawed and awful for anyone who wears glasses. There are various visual artifacts/distortions that are tiring for longer viewing periods, not the least of which is significantly reduced image brightness.
Micah: The Sharp fourth color (yellow) addition added nothing in my viewing of various displays at this year's Consumer Electronics Show last January. The Sharp displays looked good, but no better than the best displays from Panasonic, Samsung, Toshiba and LG.
Cheers,
Alan
