Not strictly related but I remember how 3D was the feature every TV set needed to have some years ago and now it's not even a thing anymore.
My indestructible TV (it has survived my son's first 3 years of life, so far) set has 3D and I remember having fun even playing games with this feature.
What happened to 3D is a mystery to me.
- beebeepka 4y agoI had zero interest in that sort of fake 3d (though I like IMAX & have a VR kit) but kind of hoped for it to bring actual 120 hz panels to the market. It didn't happen. They were all 60 hz input. Such a collosal waste. Let's not forget nvidia also tried to capitalize on the whole scam with their 3d vision crap. Oh, was shown more than a few 30hz per eye demos by clueless promoters and tech enthusiasts. At least it paved the way to high refresh monitors which are now mainstream but were frowned upon back in the day. Sometimes society catches up

- beebeepka 4y agoInput was limited to 60 hz, so 30 unique FPS per eye. You could do 60 per eye on 120 hz monitors. Just not on TVs. In any case, even 60hz per eye is a horrible flicker fest to me. Had enough of that back in CRT days.
