again im not sure if this should be here but i cant find anywhere else to shoehorn it in...
TR; i struggle with enjoying 3D at home on my set up; suggestions please?
Ive mentioned in (my) relevant tv / bluray player threads about struggling to notice the 3D element of 3D blurays. i can tell there is depth (to some extent) but to me in my head with my tv set up its just almost registers in my head as "meh thats normal and not wow". Almost like my head says its expected (i can only assume this is happening in my head as real life is "3D"?) so i don't really notice it.
i can see 3D in the cinema perfectly fine, and most of the time enjoy it; so i know it is not "me"; after much pondering on the subject i wonder if it is due to being one of those people where the 3D is not the depth, its the pop out stuff that make 3D 3D to me?
I even got through the 3D demo loop for 15 mins at PC World and most of it was cool and noticeable for me (god forbid but my mum hadn't seen 3D and it was the only location where I knew they had a demo so please do not think I went in to purchase anything!)
also i have tried Halo CE and Avatar the game on the xbox (both 3D games) and they had noticeable bits, although tiredness / motion-sickness kicked in so dont bother as its too much of a faff to drag the xbox downstairs.
Would anyone have any recommendations of something pop out heavy or pop out clips i can try and see if it is that? or even normal depth / combination of both clips or movies i can test where you know yourself that its awesome to see if this is the reason i struggle with 3D. half the time i end up just tired and either switch to normal 2D or just turn it off an go to bed .
unless i have a setting wrong on the tv / player (hay i can only hope!). IIRC amazon.co.uk has a offer on 3D blurays too. i had hoped something spacey or space docu but apparently that isnt suitable or something *shrugs*
i have seen a few bits i thought were cool, such as the END title credits with planets at the end of star trek into darkness, there was one clip i think was for LG 3D show off, and it was a guy with tennis balls and an urban environment, and there was one bit in the control room in avatar with the airspace raider screen in the background (ironically just before i turned it off and went to bed). These bits I remember thinking wow that is 3D (avatar was more of a look for it moment) but when i sit down and watch a move i just seem to be looking for it. maybe im looking rather than enjoying and thus not realising?
Would anyone have any ideas? and im really sorry this was so long but i have no one else to turn to and felt it might be helpful to explain how I perceive things and some things which I have tried.
