Clubroom Thread, Anyone seen the Olympics in 3D on TV

Gandalf mentions 3d tv in the photography section.
Brings me to ask anyone seen the Olympics in 3D on tv.

Do you get a sense of deja vu? Do you get a sense of deja vu?

I do..... I do

I didn't like 3D in the cinema. The picture seems darker. I watched it in a TV shop and found the same. Without the glasses the picture looked fine as regards brightness, but with them it is too dark. I know that the brightness can be turned up, but that would spoil it for when a 2D programme is on. I for one won't be bothering.

It is all a bit new for me.
When I bought my last TV I refused to look at the 3D TV (LG @ that time) just in case I wanted one.

I think 3D television and cinema is good. We haven't got a 3D TV at present, so no 3D Olympics here. The next lounge TV we buy will certainly have the capability of showing it. A new TV is probably a long way off though. The present one shows no sign of going wrong ...but you never know.

I had a look on the Eurosport 3D channel, it did look a bit odd as my TV is not a 3D set. I don't fancy looking at a javelin coming out the screen at me.

Thanks for replies.

I think it's generally considered not very sporting to throw a javelin at the cameraman.

I haven't watched the Olympics in 2D yet.
However, there is no escape on the news!!
