    Some other questions:

    What was it like for people who wear glasses anyway?

    Did any one feel queasy using the glasses?

    What is the picture like if you don't wear the glasses?

    What was it like for someone who has a marked weakness or blindness in one eye?

    In retrospect was it actually worth it? Is 3D more of a gimmick in the end? After all it is not 'true' 3D, more layers of 2d with depth added.

    i second that question, I tried to watch 3d a while back and had a punding headache after 5 mins of watching a film and a sharp pain behind my left eye was unpleasant. I Don't think 3d is for me

    No headaches or queasiness - but total uninterrupted viewing time was probably 40 mins max.

    I wear glasses - it wasn't an issue - they're apparently designed to fit well around them.

    The picture is rubbish if you don't wear glasses. Ironically not unlike the TV looks when I don't wear my normal glasses. There's a kind of double-vision blurring.

    No idea what it's like for the partially blind.

    You saw my comments - novel but not enough to justify extra investment in my case. But I'm a tight-arse.

    I dont wear glasses maybe i need to get my eyes tested maybe thats why i get the headaches. Would never invest in it either just upgraded my 32" tv to a nice full hd 40 for £360 if i wanted 3d at that size it would be extortionate.

    Plus most importantly i would NEVER EVER EVER go back to sky they are useless.

    Mmm, I have 20/20 vision. Maybe they invested too much R&D on making the polarised glasses fit over spectacles?

    Likewise, on both accounts.

    I don't wear glasses, but was fine when I demo-ed a 42" Panasonic last month. Could it be one of those things where some people need getting used to (I've known a few who got headache when they first started playing FPS, but eventually got used to it)? Personally I am looking forward to 3D HD projectors
