Q. I have a Mitsubishi 3d ready dlp what stuff will i need to get 3d working on the tv and ps3. Overall what are the accessories i need to buy and where should i buy them. Please no silly remarks.
A. by 3-D ready do you mean it's got the active shutter glasses and is able to broadcast in stereoscopic 3-D , or that the tv can - with additional components use 3-D ?
there's a huge difference , read your tv manual to see if it's 3-D capable already or requires additional components , then if necessary you'd have to buy though components from the manufacturer or the store it was purchased at , although with some older tv's the parts aren't available anymore ( especially if the tv is over 3 or 4 yrs old )
older 3-D ready HDTV's need you to buy a separate sensor unit and glasses and they are not cheap or easy to find these parts , different tv's need their own parts and the manual will tell you whatever you need . without them you can't use 3-D on it .
if it's got everything you need including the glasses you just plug in your ps3 via an hdmi v. 1.4 cable to the correct input and that's it , set up the 3-D according to the tv manual and when you have a 3-D capable game or blu-ray playing and turn on the glasses or 3-D mode on the tv it automatically goes into 3-D .
an example of a tv that requires extra components is the samsung 3-D ready plasma they sold in 2008 , it need a separate sensor unit , glasses and a special cable that you needed to have connected to a particular hdmi input , this part is not available anymore so essentially if you didn't but it at the same time as the tv or can't find it online you won't get 3-D on this model tv , plus it was over $600 extra to buy the 3-D components so most buyers probably did not buy it making it hard to find ( this information is from an online source )

Can I use a 3d bluray player without a new 3d tv?
Q. I am wanting to get a 3d bluray player but dont want to get 3d tv also. will i be able to use the 3d bluray fully without the 3d tv? if i do need a 3d tv...what would i be missing out on if i stuck with a 2d 1080p?
A. Yes you can. The other answer is wrong. On a 3D blu ray player, a standard blu ray will show on any HDTV as 2D of course. I don't know why you would bother with a 3D player and no 3D TV, but go ahead. Even a 3D blu ray will play as a standard 2D on a 3D TV if choose to play it that way.
How much better than Blu-ray can the picture quality become?
Q. I wonder what the benefits of future video formats for the viewer would be. How much better than Blu-ray can the picture become? Would we even be able to see the difference with the naked eye? Usually I can't spot any flaws, like visible pixels, in Blu-ray movies. Maybe a higher resolution can become relevant when larger TV screens become more affordable and common?
Will 3D eventually replace the conventional movies or will 3D remain just an alternative?
Will 3D eventually replace the conventional movies or will 3D remain just an alternative?
A. Remember most of this is speculation but they are working on Ultra-High Definition which is roughly 16 times more resolution than HDTV. This would mean that a movie in UHDTV would take up a half terrabyte of space. Ouch. It probably puts it out to about 2020-2025 from a practical standpoint if ever. Then there is the issue of 3d which potentially doubles the storage requirements of the film as each eye get a different picture.
The problem with UHDTV is that the increase in resolution is unlikely to make as much of an impact as other factors on image quality. Increased contrast, grayscale, color saturation and so forth are all likely to visually improve the image more than an increase in resolution on a moving picture than the higher resolution and none of that requires an increase in storage capacity or in the case of a streaming image over the internet, increased bandwidth.
I think that with the convenience of streaming movies over the internet people won't be demanding higher quality as much.
Just like with MP3, the convenience of downloading movies trumps the quality of CDs and the CD business has suffered because of it.
Hulu, netflicks and other online video sources will continue to grow and the demand for higher quality will deminish until way down the road when internet bandwidth can handle all the added traffic.
So for now and way down the road HDTV will be good enough.
As for whether or not 3D takes off, it will need to happen without glasses.
