Question about Samsung 42 Inch 3D TV
Posted: Fri May 28, 2010 11:10 pm
Yes I have one.
I have some shutter glasses here that look EXACTLY like these...

...except for the part around the lenses is black instead of clear like the lenses and there is an extra piece of plastic across the bridge of the nose on the outside of the glasses.
Now here's the thing. When I am watching a video in 3D, there is a flicker in the lenses. It flickers about once a second or so, and yew can see the 3D effect actually CHANGE during that second in that the ghosting will gradually get worse and then after the flicker, it is gone but appears again over the course of the second. Like some kind of cycle.
Now I was never expecting miracles when I set this up (I am using Tridef), but I have to wonder if this is normal? For those who have a Virtual FX, I also have one and there is none of this happening on it. In fact I'd say it does 3D a heck of a lot better than the Tridef and lenses! Yet all my attempts at getting it to work on the Samsung have failed, only because we all know that's the way it has to be. (Though I have pondered whether or not one of those composite to HDMI converters would work? I have seen them for about 60 bucks. Might make an interesting experiment some day.)
So what I am wondering is if others of you experience this one second flicker, or if maybe I have bad lenses or a bad sync out?
Just curious...
