Re: Free 3D Glasses From Fios
Alright, I'm falling for the marketing and thinking of watching this, but...
Under the Valentine folder, I see the SD and HD version. I don't see the 3D one... any ideas? |

said by N O Y B  :said by Earleyp :You don't have to pay for anything, Not even S&H Are you sure about that? The order form does not say this. When dealing with Verizon I would not assume that the absence of a price equates to free. Good possibility they will try to charge your account anyway, unless it is specifically stated as being free. I would think verizon would recoup any kinda loss from the glasses, from the purchase of the movie on VOD. Since they probably bought these in bulk, the 6-pairs would end up costing $0.50-$1.50 depending on the bulk pricing. |

 Your photo is great, nice and bright. The movie clip is so-so because it's so "dark" (nature of the movie, I guess) and small. |

The one difference: Since these glasses are green and magenta, in step 4, select the red and blue channels vice the green and blue channels. Follow the steps carefully. I used a tripod to make sure that the two photos were individually aligned. This was for a different technique that I tried a few years back, as seen in this animated gif... Just got the glasses. Nice. I think GIMP can do the same thing.
The video clip looked OK, but not as good as your images. |

I just got my pair in the mail today. I have found that these glasses work on the 3D version of Coraline that's on DVD. I think these should work for a all the 3d movies they are going to be releasing to dvd in the future. |

said by rockotman :I saw the U2 3D show at the Bob Bullock Texas History museum in Austin back in 2008, while at an engineering conference. It was awesome. Definitely better than anything I have ever watched in HD. They used the polarized glasses for the show. The polarization technique yields a much better result. yes there is no point in watching a 3D presentation unless it uses the polarized glasses.
I've only seen the 3D in the regular DLP theater. I'm looking forward to seeing the 25 minutes of 3D in the next Harry Potter movie at the DLP IMAX theater(or should I say IMAX lite since it's at AMC) |

said by munson15 : I actually can't believe they're still trying to market "3D" anything at this point. After all, who really needs "3D" in the High Def age? If you have not seen an IMAX movie in 3D you don't know what you're missing. And so sorry, but not even FiOS HD holds a candle to that (U2 3D was nothing short of incredible). |
