Anyone watching 3d movies at home?

 I have a 3D TV plus a laptop that can output 3D, not really sure where to go from here.

 Anyone got a similar set up and have it working or know of any guides?

 

 

Not me, but can we have a 3D party when it's ready?

 

reckon i may need to get onto a 3d laptop/pc next as the camera i just picked up can shoot 3d images and video.

dont they have some nba games in 3d on fox?

So your computer has a HDMI output?

 Yeah it does, one of the features of my laptop GPU when I bought it was that it is 3D capable. I am not really sure what it means or how to utilise it.  Edit - not sure if you are being sarcastic here haha

 Last night I played around with it for a while, I was playing Avatar on VLC player. On the TV it initially shows as two images side by side, then when I turn the 3D function  of the TV on it changes to a blurry image, then when I put the glasses on it  goes slightly 3D, but not to the extent I would expect. You can mess around with the 3D depth settings on the TV but that tended to make it blurry. It might be the source as it's only an *aquired* file. We currently don't have a Blu Ray player (my suggestion last night that the best player to get is a PS3 was met by disbelieving laughter )

 I will play around with it some more tonight, just wondering if anyone here is a guru.

 Khem - last season they broadcast 15 NBA games in 3d, plus *I think* the Finals. I would have to get Foxtel HD Sports packages which is $120 per month. I watched some 3D soccer in the store and it was seriously awesome. 3D sport is where it's at. Hopefully one day soon the NBA league pass will broadcast in 3D.

 Oli - sure thing

Na no sarcasm.... no hdmi means no full hd and no 3d the standard old VGA is just not up to it. What tv do you have?

at 298 for a 160gb ps3, it is definitely the best blue ray player for that price

Couldnt agree more.

 Yup HDMI out. I have a Sony Bravia 52", not sure of the model number, it was the latest and greatest until about a month ago.

 Definitely showing Brook this thread re PS3 mwuhahaha

There shouldnt really be anything to it mate, from what i can see your tv should automatically pick up the HDMI input. You may have to switch the tv to 3d operation but apart from that it should work straight up. I did read a review that mentioned (for the LED version of the bravia) that some movies would seem to be a little bit cloudy with its 3d imaging but said broadcasts (they used a recorded NRL game) were amazing so i'm not really sure what to make of that or why a blue ray 3d movie would not come up as well as a recorded broadcast of a sports match.

 Yeah there's no worries with getting it to show on the screen, I am just wondering if there are any further settings I need to tinker with (in VLC for example)

 I think it's more the source material in this instance.

Yeah i did read that it takes a bit of customising to get it to look right, they talked about turning down the backlight LED which will help remove a lot of the clouding you can get with 3D.

 Cool thanks! Will give that a try.

 Like i said it's working, it's just not optimised.

 Also god Avatar is a shit film.

What size is the file that you "aquired"?

 It was 15 gig.

 We watched some other docs last night that the 3D worked perfectly for, so it was the source file.

NO SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Watched an awesome 3D doco on the shuttle flight to repair the Hubble. Really enjoyed it.

 Trying to find some 3D torrents for the NBA Finals last year.

ooh lemme know if you get any thunder games
