I'm looking to get a 50", but dammmmmmmmn are they expensive. I may have to look privately and stay away from the chain stores.

I might have to wait for my next payday. :sad:

My brother in law has a 60" 3D screen. Pretty sick.

I heard the 3D tvs are pretty terrible.

Haven't seen anything in 3D yet to be honest, but the full HD is a thing of fucking beauty. Especially for sports. Gaming too by the way.

3D seems kinda pointless to me. I don't see how it would add anything to the experience besides maybe "WOW THAT THING JUST JUMPED OUT AT ME." :\

To each his own I guess. My GF's brothers are technology-freaks and gets all the new stuff immediately aftetr it's out.

my friend (who, granted, works at Sony) says that the introduction of 3D will be like the introduction of colour TV's all that time ago.

Yeah. They're kind of shit; the biggest issue obviously being the glasses you have to wear.

I would say he's vastly overstating its relevancy. Color doesn't require you to wear silly glasses that make the screen blurry if you don't wear them. And again, I don't see how 3D will add anything to the TV or movie experience. Having a little more depth of field and projectiles jumping out from the screen at you doesn't seem like too much of a major innovation to me. It seems to me like novelty for novelty's sake; it's relatively new and I guess that's enough for people to go nuts for it.

Agreed. And after all, Azrael's friend is probably just a douche, since he works for Sony. :wink:

Why would anyone write this? If I thought this much about the term hipster or wrote so terribly I hope a friend would punch me in the head and tell me to snap out of it.

That was written in French by a Slovenian and translated to English. Hence the clutter. However, though, it dwelled on Lacan so it was mildly incomprehensible unless you're into that kinda shit. However, I loled at the Foucault joke.

imo taking a paragraph and referencing both King Kong and Prometheus to say that people didn't like an article because it didn't give a good definition of hipster is bad writing no matter what language it's in. Although mebbe the article is a joke.

Having a field of depth can really bring a movie to life (IE Avatar). Yes, it had a shit story but the visuals were amazing. Granted, 3D won't take off unless the tech advances to the point were glasses are not necessary.

I saw that movie in 3D. It's still probably one of my least favorite movies ever. I really didn't think that the 3D added anything that I wouldn't have gotten had I seen it in regular 2D.

Quite a funny article, reads like Zizek self-satirising.
