Gen 3 3D Viewing System with 2 Wired Glasses

Another reviewer reported how the system gave increased depth perception on the DVD's viewed, but not pop-out-at-you 3D. This will be true of many of the DVD's made available for these systems, mainly because many of the movies chosen to be converted to 3D weren't filmed that way to begin with. So no effort was made during filming to have images come "straight out of the screen" (although for THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS the DVD producers actually added scenery a couple of times--to the 3D version only--to stand out in the foreground).HOWEVER, if you view a film that WAS made specifically in 3D, you get a different result. ENCOUNTER IN THE THIRD DIMENSION, for instance, has some quite spectacular 3D effects that jump right out of the screen and practically into your lap. I saw 3D previews on another DVD for movies made specifically in 3D that also had the desired effect.I was very impressed, in fact, with how well the 3D looked in those instances. I found myself a couple of times trying to grab objects that seemed to float right in my face. I even said "Wow" a couple of times.I'm now very excited about surfing the net and finding DVD's in 3D that use the field-sequential process, particularly movies that were made in 3D to begin with. I've already purchased JAWS 3D and FRIDAY THE 13TH, PART III IN 3D, and in each case the 3D looks as good as I recall it from seeing them in the theaters.Is the system perfect? No. You do notice flicker, which can be annoying at first, but after a while you just start ignoring it. And depending on the length of the movie, you may find the need to pause it to rest your eyes once or twice or more (but hey, you get that in theaters, too; only there you can't hit a pause button!). But other than that, it's a great system. Well worth the $19.99 I spent.

i bought a system like this today (razor 3d the ultimate 3d experience) and have tried 3 dvds with it, used all the different settings, and so far it offers more depth perception, but is definitely not jump-off-the-screen 3d. i was disappointed
