3D without a 3D TV

This is more of a technical question. When playing with the 3D settings turned on while using a non-3D TV, is there the double frame effect (like when you see a 3D movie without the 3D glasses)? If so, can you just pop on some 3D glasses you have or will that damage your eyes?

Thanks!

Stereoscopic 3d just sends 2 images for each frame instead of the regular one; on a regular television they wouldn’t be blended onto each other.

Even if they were blended onto each other for some bizarre reason, you wouldn’t be able to just put on theatre glasses to get a 3d effect; those glasses require specific types of polarization to filter the separate images to your separate eyes, and standard TV’s don’t polarize the images, so both your eyes would receive both images, and you’d still see a doubled image.

It won’t damage your eyes if you try this out, though; you’ll just look and feel rather silly.

3D without 3D Tvs (or monitors) makes it look really blurry and not pretty IMO.

Now if only 3D tv’s werent so expensive…

You may be surprised to hear that 3D tv’s are not as expensive as you think. I have a 50" Panasonic Viera 3D plasma with 3D blu ray player and glasses for $1,700. I got it last year for a black Friday sale. Not a bad deal considering the LED 3d’s go for $2,500-$3,500 for just the tv.

Well, I hope they do some kind of thing for 3D like in Batman AS and Batman AC… with special colored glasses
