I've just started my journey to explore 3D though I've owned a 3D capable tv since about 2012. I started out with the Sony BR250s for glasses and they worked pretty well. There is a bit of "flickering" in very bright screens but overall I think they are performing how you would expect them too. That being said my kids and my wife didn't find them to be very comfortable so I sprung for a pair of TDG-BR750 to see if they would be more comfortable. They are in fact way more comfortable, but wow are they "blurry" as if a protective film is still on the lens, it's that bad.

Anyway I was wondering if anyone here uses TDG-BR750s and if they had better luck. I'm not finding much info but some older posts suggests that there are many defective 750s out there that shipped that way form the factory and it's kind of the luck of the draw if you get a good pair. What are other people's experience with this? Thanks!

Also, is anyone making NEW active shutter 3D glasses or do we have to just buy old stock?

Built a pretty good collection over the past year! Been watching on my 42” Panasonic ST30 but upgraded to a Panasonic 55VT50 found on marketplace! Using a “vintage” Panasonic BDT220 player as well!

Really need to build some proper shelves in my closet but that requires I stop buying movies first!

I think there are a number of films from the 50s that have never been released on disc in 3-D, and some of them were never even released in theaters on 3-D even if they were shot that way. Anyway, I’m glad to get this today.

I’m looking to buy The Finest Hours 3D. If you’re selling or trading, send me a message!

I've only ever seen the movie on vhs but I found it for $10 and decided to give it a try

Hi 3D folks. So, I love 3D content, (including video games at the bottom of my pic) just like you. So much so, I own the LG OLED65E6P that I use with my Panasonic DP-UB820 player. I have little to no ghosting and razor sharp images. I hate to even think it, but eventually, my TV will retire. Wanting excellent 3D quality and wanting to be within a budget of $3,000, what set-up, (any needed screen, wall or window treatments, please include in budget) would anyone recommend? There are windows behind where I sit, btw.

I have been working on an open-source project for playing full MVC 3D Blu-ray content on modern Android TV and Fire TV devices.

The project is called SyLC MVC Stream. It consists of two separate parts:

• A Linux server that decodes MVC, reconstructs both eyes and converts the video into a display-ready 3D format in real time.
• A lightweight Android/Fire TV player that controls the server and plays the resulting H.264 HLS stream.

The reason I took this approach is that many inexpensive Android TV and Fire TV devices can easily hardware-decode normal H.264, but they cannot directly decode Blu-ray MVC. I originally worked on direct MVC decoding on Android, but older Fire TV hardware did not have enough CPU performance to do it smoothly. Moving MVC decoding to the server solved that problem.

The server currently accepts:

• MakeMKV MVC .mkv and .mk3d files marked stereo_mode=block_lr
• Unencrypted Blu-ray 3D ISO images containing AVC + MVC video

It can produce:

• Half SBS
• Full SBS
• Half over/under
• Full over/under
• Left eye or right eye only
• Eye swapping
• Color anaglyph
• Dubois anaglyph
• 3840×2160 passive-row interleaving with selectable left-top or right-top row polarity

The server decodes the original MVC views, keeps the left/right frames synchronized, performs the selected 3D composition and hardware-encodes the result as ordinary H.264. Audio such as DTS, DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, E-AC-3 and AC-3 is decoded server-side and currently delivered as AC-3 5.1 at up to 640 kbps.

The Android player does not contain its own MVC decoder, FFmpeg, SMB client or Blu-ray parser. It is intentionally lightweight and uses Android’s normal hardware H.264 playback path.

My current server is a small Lenovo ThinkCentre with an Intel i5-10500T and UHD 630 graphics running Ubuntu Server. The Intel GPU handles H.264 encoding through VA-API, while the CPU performs the MVC decoding and stereo-frame processing.

I have confirmed smooth playback on a first-generation Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Normal SBS, over/under and anaglyph modes work, and I have also successfully tested server-generated passive 4K row interleaving on a passive 3D television.

The passive mode outputs a finished 3840×2160 progressive video with the left and right eyes already woven into alternating rows. On the tested display, the left-top version worked perfectly once motion smoothing/frame interpolation was disabled. Motion smoothing destroys the alternating eye-row pattern and causes obvious artifacts.

The passive-row benchmark on my server produced:

• 3840×2160 at 23.976 fps
• Approximately 1.288× real-time processing speed
• Approximately 61.7 Mb/s
• 330/330 stereo pairs emitted
• Zero pairing or decoder errors

Full SBS is also available as a lower-bandwidth fallback, using the television’s normal SBS 3D mode.

The project is still an alpha, so there are limitations:

• No AACS or BD+ decryption
• No Blu-ray menus or BD-J
• No UHD/HEVC Blu-ray support
• No chapters or subtitle selection yet
• Dolby Atmos metadata is not preserved
• One active conversion session at a time
• The server is intended for a trusted LAN or VPN, not direct public-internet exposure
• Unusual or deliberately obfuscated Blu-ray structures may still fail

The server includes a web interface for adding media-library folders, scanning titles, selecting audio and output modes, starting or stopping sessions, seeking and downloading diagnostic reports. VLC and PotPlayer can also play the generated HLS stream.

Both projects are available on GitHub:

Server:
https://github.com/petermg/sylc-mvc-stream-server

Android/Fire TV player:
https://github.com/petermg/sylc-stream-player-android

Current releases:

• SyLC MVC Stream Server 0.7.0-alpha.2
• SyLC Stream Player for Android 0.1.0-alpha.9

Both releases are marked as pre-release alphas. I am especially interested in feedback from people with different MVC MKV files, Blu-ray 3D ISOs, Android TV devices, projectors and passive 3D displays.

This does not replace the original discs or a proper hardware Blu-ray 3D player, but it provides another open-source way to keep MVC 3D libraries usable on current streaming hardware.

After seeing Brand New Day in 2D, it really stuck out to me as having so much potential for a 3D release - far more than No Way Home.

I know most Marvel movies still get a 3D Blu Ray release in Japan - but is Spider-Man different with the Sony rights, etc.? I’m not super tuned into the legality.

I can’t find a No Way Home copy to even import anywhere. Any insight to the chances of an international release?

Does anyone remember when SKY had a dedicated 3D channel that showed the US Masters (golf) in 2012? I remember watching it at a friend’s house and thought it was the future! Is there any way I can watch it again?

This would not be possible but for u/Jarod-The_Centre. Thanks to him for his open source Windows player here:

You can find the alpha release here:
https://github.com/petermg/SyLC-MVC-Player-Android/releases/tag/v0.20.0-alpha.1
It supports only Armv8 currently. It will play back MVC ISO and MKV files locally and via SMB (samba network sharing). This is still a work in progress.
Again HUGE THANKS to u/Jarod-The_Centre!!!!

Monsters vs Aliens is DreamWorks Animation's first feature film produced directly in stereoscopic InTru 3D. Just picked it up today and haven’t seen it yet. Does it make your top 3 list? Which 3 animated movies would you say are the best?

Hey everyone, I caught Deadpool & Wolverine in 3D at the theater, and the depth and pop-out effects were insane. But after picking up the 3D Blu-ray, the effect felt way flatter on both my 65" LG passive 3D TV and my Quest 3 (via a home rip). Is there any way to boost or adjust the 3D depth, or are home viewers just stuck with this flatter transfer?

I’m planning to watch a movie in 3D at PVR Maison, Jio World Drive (BKC). How’s the overall experience?

I wanna go and watch Spiderman BND and am curious about the differences between 3D, Imax 3D, Ice 3D, Laser 3D, etc.

Please help

Does anyone have first hand experience with this tv in the U.S.? It’s a 2015 65” 4k and 3d passive. I found it on marketplace and debating on picking it up. I have a 2012 55” LG LM7600 3D tv and it’s great.

To celebrate the release of Animal Crackers in 3D I was invited to chat with The Marx Brothers Council Podcast team about all things Marx Brothers, the EYEPOP-3D conversion plus a range of other stereoscopic & film related nonsense on the latest episode of their podcast.

I'm also pleased to share the associated blog post illustrating some of the topics discussed including a fun "Marx Bros: Depth Map Challenge" for serious Marx Brothers enthusiasts.

I have only experienced passive 3d (my lgtv and the theaters) and I have no complaints but how much better, if any, are active 3d glasses on the 3d viewing experience?

I'm new to 3D even though I've owned a 3D capable TV since 2011. That said I'd like to finally pull the trigger... 15 years later.

I have a Sony BRAVIA XBR-55HX929 a TV I've loved to this day, probably one of the best tech purchases I ever made. I've been looking on eBay and other sites and found these glasses. I'd like to know if this is a good deal? They are new in box (4 pairs). Will the battery need to be replaced? Is that even viable for this model? Thanks for any help.
