New TV. Back to Old Games.

I just bought a new 2013 TV from LG. It is a 50" inch 3D Cinema Smart LED TV. The first HDtv was a 42" inch Samsung Plasma, then a 46" inch Samsung LCD and now another South Korean TV. It is beautiful and I finally set up a surround sound system in wife and I's room. When my little girl is old enough to sleep with her sister, I will conform that room into something cool. This tv is the major start!

Now with that said, it displays 3D. I am going back to play through some 3D capable games and seeing how they look. I now plan to buy a few Blu-ray 3D movies. I have more games than I though that are 3D capable such as the Sly Cooper Collection, Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, Killzone 3, and many others. I played only a bit of Uncharted 3 and it seems ok but I think I am too early to be impacted by it.

What is also interesting is this tv can do the split screen via glasses where you still keep the whole image to yourself. I was interested in seeing how it worked and thought it was something only on Sony's 3D TV that they sold as a gamer's tv. As for the exterior of the tv, it looks really nice by having small borders. My other two tvs have thick ones. It really makes them look unattractive in comparison.

I have duty tomorrow which sucks. I want to just sit and use the tv all day. Now do you all own a 3D tv? If so what movies or games do you recommend playing in 3D?

Yeah, being on duty sucks, I remember that. Although I'm certain we're talking about two completely different jobs. lol

As for 3DTV, I am currently living at home, where the TV is standard def, so ... yeah, I have no idea.

I saw a boxing match in 3D at bestbuy once and thought it looked pretty cool. What ever happened to the 3D sports channels? Weren't stadiums outfitted with 3D cameras at one point? I don't own a 3D TV. Maybe during Christmas time. I think I read that one of the Batman games was really amazing in 3D, not sure which one though.

It does seem to be taking 3D tv a long time to become mainstream and that is expected. I am sure the 3D Sports channels probably still exist. I heard great things about the batman game. I haven't played any games yet in 3D. I tried but I need the faster HDMI cable. I have though seen some shows streamed through the tv in 3D. It is pretty impressive!

I'd be interesting in seeing how the Arkham games look in 3D. I'm certain that Arkham City is in 3D, and I'm sure Arkham Asylum is as well. If you check 'em out, let me know!

I will let you know. I haven't played any 3D games yet. I been pretty busy. I look forward to checking out how these games are soon with 3D.
