For those that see flickering

I mentioned in the "Official 3D Thread" that I don't notice any flickering at all with my DLP and IO glasses. I also mentioned that I'd read that a low battery in shutter glasses can cause this.

I've had my glasses with the original battery for nearly two months now, and low and behold, I noticed flickering today. It's an odd flicker, even looking at a static image, it seems to flicker about once a second. I even made sure it wasn't the source, so I watch a few samples that I know I've never seen flickering on.

So as of right now, until I replace the batteries tomorrow, it seems extremely plausible that this is the reason some, if not all see flickering.

I'll post again in this thread tomorrow evening after I replace the batteries to see if the flickering went away. Hopefully Radioshack or Batteries Plus carries them.

btw, to those that talked about the flickering being a distraction, I totally agree. I couldn't fathom watching a 22 minute sitcom with this.

No lights on here, besides my backlight, which is always on. Though I understand your point, the cause of flickering can be from multiple factors.

So, I replaced the batteries a little over a week ago, and the flickering was still there. As I've mentioned before, it used to not be this way, so I thought maybe the glasses were going bad.

This past Friday, for S&Gs, I decided to try them again. I turned the 3D mode on, low and behold, no flickering. I don't know what caused the problem before, the only thing different to my system is I updated from Catalyst 10.1 to 10.3a, but they worked before with Cats 10.1, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not.

Very odd.
