TALES OF TESTING:
STEVE MORGENSTERN, TECH WRITER AND GAME FANATIC
After 20 years of seeing failed attempts at 3-D TV—and suffering the attendant headaches and eyestrain—Samsung’s rear-projection sets finally made me a believer. The TVs flash 120 frames per second (instead of the standard 60) and alternate right- and left-eye perspectives. The viewer wears glasses with shutters on each eye that sync with the alternating frames, creating the 3-D effect. Gaming was incredible, with narrow corridors in Quake triggering my claustrophobia. But the effects were strongest in a trailer from Meet the Robinsons, a movie originally made in 3-D. As spaceships zoomed through the living room, I found myself ducking. TVs from $1,000, plus $200 for 3-D kit; samsung.com
