Woke up to find my receiver bricked this morning, would not respond to remote or set top controls. Pulled the power cord for hard reset, got it running but needed a red button reset to get remote working. Firmware update has caused problems on two of my receivers. Hey, Great site! Just wanted to point out that the firmware update version has changed. I got up today and had a message up about the upcoming world games being in 3D.
That should be the 3D firmware. ESPN 3D will be channel If not any update on it? You list the L75A Is this the lager version of the LA90 that was put on hold meaning you will need the 3DC converter or is this a updated Laservue that has full HD-3D? If new and improved is a review upcoming for us to look forward to? Username or Email Address. Remember Me. Stay connected. Recent Posts.

If you are viewing with other family members or friends, and one of them doesn't want to watch 3D, they will just see two overlapping images on the screen.
Sharp offered glasses that could convert 3D back to 2D, but that required an optional purchase and, if one of the reasons that the person didn't want to watch 3D was because they didn't like wearing glasses, having to use a different type of glasses to watch 2D TV, while others are watching the same TV in 3D was a non-starter. Unlike going to the local cinema or using a home theater video projector and screen, the 3D viewing experience on a TV is not the same.
Although not everyone likes watching 3D regardless of whether it is at a movie theater or at home, consumers, in general, are more accepting of 3D as a movie-going experience. Also, in the home environment, watching 3D using a video projector which are still available and a large screen, provides a more acceptable cinematic experience for many.
Viewing 3D on a TV, unless on a large screen or sitting close, is like viewing through a small window — the field of view is much more narrow, resulting in a less than desirable 3D experience. Another setback was the decision not to include 3D into 4K standards, so, by the time the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc format was introduced in late , there was no provision for implementing 3D on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs, and no indication from movie studios to support such a feature.
In the short term, there are still millions of 3D TVs in use in the U. There are about 3D Blu-ray Disc movie titles available, with more in the short term pipeline. This means that you may have to purchase them from international sources. If you do, make sure they are region code compatible with your player and that they have an English soundtrack or subtitles. Looking at the long-term, 3D TV could make a comeback. Also, the development of glasses-free no-glasses 3D continues, with ever-improving results.
Would 3D TV have been successful if TV makers would have given more thought about timing, market demand, technical issues regarding product performance, and consumer communication? Perhaps, or perhaps not, but several major mistakes were made and it appears that 3D TV may have run its course. Also, the future of VR Virtual Reality , which requires bulky headgear, is still not cemented. However, if vinyl records can make an unexpected big comeback, who is to say that 3D TV won't revive at some point?
In the "meantime", for those that own and like 3D products and content, keep everything working. For those that desire to purchase a 3D TV or 3D Video projector, buy one while you still can—you may still find some 3D TVs on clearance, and most home theater video projectors still provide the 3D viewing option. No Samsung models with a K , models with an M , or models with an N at this point is 3D capable. Whatever model supply signified by a J is in the pipeline is what is left, unless Samsung announces otherwise.
