I understand how the 3d works like at the cinema each sequential frame is displayed with opposing polarised light so that one eye sees the image while the other doesnt, because each lense in the glasses are opposite polarisations.

But what I was getting at is why is 60 Hz too low?

if Im understanding it correctly 60hz means the monitor will refresh 60 times per second, so if using 3d shutterglass that would mean that each eye would see 30 images in that second of time, and that seems more than enough since your eyes cant really detect anything above 28? why is that flickering so noticable at the lower refresh?

wut? false

As for why? Probably because the frames aren't exactly sequential; the "left" and "right" frames show the same scene from slightly different angles. So it wouldn't be as smooth as a 30fps 2D movie/game, hence why you need more frames/second. That is my theory at least.

Yeah i've had the nvidia 3d kit from day one. I've played plenty of games with it. Bad Company 2 was pretty freaking epic. I agree Batman was probably one of the most flawless 3d experiences. Also Just Cause 2 is beautiful in 3d I've even done Civilization/LF4D2(awesome)/Dead Space (needs tweaking but scares the shit out of me more)/Mirror's Edge...etc I bought a second pair to watch movies as well but I really want to get the 3d projector and then try all those games again lol. Soon come this holiday I think.

Forgot to mention i'm using 2 x 480's

yeah, you've got the money, cheer Sad

Yep thats the only way 3d can work, I knew each was from a slightly different angle, hence the reason 3d cameras have 2 lense setups Smile

Have you never seen flicker of a CRT ? There is a treshold for flickering.
And drop the idea of your eyes not noticing anything above a certain frame rate until you've tested it. The frame rate you need to see some motion as stutterfree heavily depends on you and the speed of said motion. I can easily see the difference between 30fps and 60fps videos, like night and day. Even with low motion scenes.

I always think that you need more fps because in 3D you now have very close objects, which obviously move very fast relative to your viewpoint, thus needing a higher frame rate. Thats what I thought after watching avatar.

yeah suprman - 30Hz would be very uncomfortable to look at. That wouldn't matter if you were playing a game, watching a movie or looking at a photo - the latter of which would have zero fps btw but you would still notice flickering. It doesn't depend on frame rates and whether you can notice anything above 30fps or not as far as motion is concerned - the eye can see the flickering even though the brain perceives motion as smooth. You could have an fps of 2 or 200 and regardless you will see flickering at 30Hz.

Found from the web:

For 3D if the TV were 60Hz then each eye would see 30Hz, which would result in a lot of flickering. Remember two frames of the same scene need to be shown at slightly different angles at the same time. A TV can only show frames sequentially it can’t show two frames at the same time.

A 120Hz 2D TV actually shows each frame 4 times.

A plasma TV like a Panasonic still only has 120Hz refresh rate. Refresh rate is to do with how many times a frame is displayed on the screen. Do not get confused with sub-field drive, which will be 600Hz. Sub-field drive is to do with pixel response time, which is 1.7ms for 600Hz. A plasma panel pixels are driven by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) it is the repetition of the PWM pulses that is the sub-field frequency.

I have actually seen ages ago before panel TV’s at a science technology expo an early version of 3D using shutter glasses and which had only a refresh rate of 50Hz (PAL CRT TV) which means 25Hz per eye and not surprisingly the flickering was really bad.

I know that the FPS of a game or video doesnt matter in this case, I was just using it as an example to better explain what my thinking was.

I've been thinking about getting the 3D Vision glasses, would be fun to try Smile

I have a Plasma, DLP projector and a ISP TFT, any of these any good for 3D glasses? Which would be best? The plasma has 600Hz (not sure how they count it on plasma's maybe its somehow different, probably..) the DLP i'm unsure about, i think it's 60 on those. The ISP screen has superior colors and especially image depth over the other 2 but its 60hz and it's just 24" and colors and image depth probably isnt that important for 3D glasses anyways hehe

Edit: oh Big_Gun had already written about plasma Hz Very Happy. thx. So the plasma would be best probably?

Plasma currently is the best for 3D, if you want least cross talk, but thats for 3D plasmas. If you have a 2D Plasma, you wont even benefit from the 100Hz it has (600Hz is as been stated only the subfield freq.). You can only feed it with (maybe) 23.976Hz, 50Hz and 60Hz, and nothing more.

Does this 3D set even work with normal 2D devices?

I had a panasonic 3d plasma before this LED tv i bought.
I had to take it back because, despite wat i read, they still suffer screen burn in. I know I did it. While probably not permanent, it was something i didn't want to deal with. Anyway, I don't see a difference in crosstalk between that plasma and my LED. Only difference I see is the contrast, which i miss.

Definitely. Although as you say maybe not permanent.
This is why I dont really want to recommend plasma. It wont stop me from getting one, though Wink

But I have read of some cases, where panasonic actually reacted to seemingly permanent burn-in-like-effects and replaced the panels. I did not expect that...

Well, my big problem is that I am a digital artist by trade. I work with photoshop at least 8 hours a day 5 - 6 days a week. It was burning in the menu icons on the screen. Was it dumb of me to even consider a plasma as a monitor? Probably. But I figure i would try it. I knew the place I bought it from would take it back with no problems. So at the first sign of burn in, I took it back and exchanged it for the LED. As a note though, i did try the burn in removal tool built into the TV and that did not remove the burn in. But i read it would fade over time.

Yes my tv is over kill for a monitor... but it is damned nice sitting reclined in my couch doing my work now. Razz

If your eyes don't notice more than 28 fps, time to visit the doctor. Laughing

Got my 3D setup today, and I never want to play a game in 2D again. It's absolutely awesome! Bit confusing that BFBC2 frames per second can drop to 30 and stutter but Bulletstorm looks great even at 30. 55-60fps on Mafia 2, everything on high 1xAA. Batman Arkham Asylum won't work in 3D for some reason, I'm thinking it is something to do with the crack. And no eye strain! <3 3D gaming Smile

Edit: I didn't see that there is an option to turn 3D on in Batman. The game looks absolutely stunning btw. Everything on high including PhysX and 60fps. Cut scenes are still in 2D and they look terrible compared to 3D.

finally bought one 3D Vision kit (together with ViewSonic 22" monitor). What a blast, you have no idea. Just played Fallout 3 for one hour, you feel like characters and ennemies are alive, it's simply amazing.

I could never play like that with the black bars from the monitors.. Really ugly, and takes away immersion more than adds to it, imo. I tried bioshock on my new 47" panasonic 3DTV, and actually it's more impressive than i initially thought 3D would be. Also tried dragon age origins and a few other games, worked quite well, but the effect is more impressive from first person view.
