Quincunx

Article says that quincunx is a method of 3D tv coding distribution with a link. Following the link yields no further information about the claim and no further information is given in the article. I will delete shortly if information isn't forthcoming. --Spuzzdawg (talk) 10:00, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Delete? Speedy rewrite/cleanup?

The top reads like a bloody commercial advertisement—and the rest looks so un-Wikipedia-y at first glance that I haven't even read any of it. Brrrrr. — President Lethe (talk) 01:31, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Redirect to 3D display?

As the substancial difference between 2D television and 3D television is the Display mechanism a merge or redirection to the 3D display article may be more effective

3D vs. 3-D

We have (at least) four related pages on 3D/3-D technology:

• 3D television
• 3D display
• 3-D film
• List of 3-D films

Clearly there is an inconsistency between "3D" & "3-D". I checked both Merriam Webster (USA) and Collins (UK) and both show "3-D" and not "3D" ... also, I ran a Google search of each term and found 367 million hits for "3D" and 1.2 billion hits for "3-D".

By both measures, I believe we should be using "3-D" throughout in the above pages (and maybe more).

-- I agree that as written, 3D television and 3D display could very easily be merged. As for the discussion about 3D vs. 3-D, it's sticky. AP style guidelines hyphenate it. However, other corporate brand guidelines I've worked with remove the hyphen. My personal preference is 3D without the hyphen. But of course, I also prefer e-mail without the hyphen, and Web site as one word (no capital W), so what do I know?!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.193.255.108 (talk) 14:49, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Modern usage seems to be dropping the hyphen. "3D-Ready" (used on most 3DTVs and 3D projectors) would be very awkward with the extra hyphen. "Blu-ray 3D" doesn't use it. etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Awoods3d (talk • contribs) 09:31, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

TCL Price Reference

Hey, here's an idea. If we put a price in dollars ($), why not specify WHICH dollars ($) we are referring to? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar#Countries_which_use_the_dollar Many countries use this unit, and the all have very different values. At this rate, you may as well not specify a unit of currency at all.

SKY 3D Korea?

Shouldn't it read 'CJ HelloVision' in Korea?

This sentence is horrible

The below sentence should be made readable. I am not even sure what it's trying to say, and I understand a bit of the new 3D technology.

"To present faster frame rate in high definition to avoid judder, enhancing 3-D film, televisions and broadcasting, other unresolved standards are the type of 3D glasses (passive or active), including bandwidth considerations, subtitles, recording format and a Blu-ray standard." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.203.233.76 (talk) 15:56, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect verb tenses

There are some sentences that have future verbal tense especially under "3D Channels" section but the times they're referring to have actually passed. I believe these entries haven't been edited and revised for some time. I am not sure whether they have happened on the given dates or not so I left them unchanged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Haghshenas m a (talk • contribs) 11:56, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Football Clarification

In the section 3D Channels, are we talking about American football or football/soccer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicky Nouse (talk • contribs) 07:04, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

It is usually pretty obvious from the context - most references I found to football mention the teams involved immediately before or after mentioning football. For clarity though, I think it's logical to refer to Soccer as Football and refer to all the other types of football as American Football, Rugby Union, Rugby League & Australian Football as I believe the majority of the english and non-english speaking world call soccer Football. --Spuzzdawg (talk) 06:50, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Date of 3D starts on videogames

2010 is the starting year of 3D in consoles, not in videogames. I play 3D games in my computer since 2006 with a eDimensional glasses, and since 2008 with a Zalman Trimon, so this date is absolutely wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.59.111.160 (talk) 22:29, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Inaccurate regarding 120hz

I have a problem with this sentence: "These TV sets usually support HDMI 1.4 and a minimum (input and output) refresh rate of 120 Hz; glasses may be sold separately."

None of these TVs support 120hz input because at 1080p that would require an HDMI-B connector, which no existing TVs use. True 120hz input is possible on a handful of computer monitors and only then with a Dual Link DVI cable.

TV sets

The difference between 3D-ready and 3D TV sets is that 3D-ready uses a set-top-box to connect the glasses (and are generally, 200 Hz or higher TV sets); and in 3D TV sets the glasses are diretly connected to the TV set. --Hamiltha (talk) 21:06, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
