No, you will not be dodging baseballs, and Bruce Lee will not almost kick you in the face, and so on.

If you do those things, and suppress your disappointment about things flying at you (because they can’t get through the “window” of the screen), I swear you can get the picture to look astoundingly realistic.
#2d to 3d conversion for tv tv
So, I stay in the range 8-12, with most movies and tv shows on the 8 setting. Too much and the image will get harder to look at, and may even look strangely distorted at higher values. The 3D Depth is the one that you will keep jumping in and changing depending on what you’re looking at, as that’s the one that actually gives relative depth to the objects in the image. If I’m looking at still pictures on the television (rather than moving pictures), I’ll sometimes bump that up to around 12. If it’s really too much, dial it down to -9, but no more than that. The important thing is that you want to push the image far away use the maximum setting. If you have the 3D Image Correction reversed, you may need to use +10. You want to push the image as far back as you can, and -10 does that. Sitting too close can be a problem with 3D quality. I sit 12 feet away, and if I could, I might push it back even a little further (but I can’t). With the expectation solidly set, here’s what you need to do: If you can accept that, you are in a great position to really enjoy this tv. No forward projection, so it’ll be like looking through a window (but a window with a completely 3D world on the other side of it). Everything you see will be on the other side of the “window”. The best 3D I’ve seen – and *I* say here and there it’s just one step away from jaw-dropping – will be seen through the television acting as a window pane. All those settings do is flatten the image and then push the whole thing at you – it’s not very realistic 3D and you should just avoid it. You CAN adjust the settings to push the image at you, and doing it (in my quite humble opinion) utterly and absolutely bites. Things will not be sticking out of the screen and floating over your coffee table. For very realistic 3D, automatically generated from 2D sources, you have to give something up, and with this television that is forward projection.

The 2D->3D conversion process in the 55LM6700, when set correctly, will NOT poke you in the eye. Which is, basically, everything.įirst, you need to possibly adjust your expectations.
#2d to 3d conversion for tv how to
I want to tell you why, and how to get what is really, quite fantastic automatic 3D on pretty much everything with just a 2D source. After six months with this set, all I can say is “Boy, are they wrong”. I keep reading people on forums who claim you can’t get good 2D->3D conversion on this set. I’m writing here only about the automatic 2D->3D conversion that this television has that can let you watch Star Trek Classic, the Brady Bunch, or anything else, in 3D. This has nothing to do with watching movies shot in 3D, such as Avatar or whatnot. This post is about 2D->3D conversion ONLY. So I’m going to assume that you HAVE one of these televisions, and don’t need to be sold on the model. Probably containing the model number 55LM6700, actually. Since this blog has no regular readers, due to its extremely rarely being updated, I’ll assume you’ve landed here due to an internet search. If you don’t have one of those, you can probably stop reading this post right about here. I got one o’ dem LG 55LM6700 3D smart televisions back in July.
