so my question because i still don't understand it is What is the 3D viewpoint setting and what level should it be at? i have an LG 50pz550 if that helps. i just want to get the best 3d possible and want to know what settings i should keep it at. thanks

p.s. i saw i demo at best buy of a sony 3d led with active shutter and noticed the video they were playing was of underwater sea creatures and the a shark scene came on and the shark actually had a pop to it. i wonder if its settings or the source that enables this??

Nope. Sounds unique to the LG. If you fiddle with the setting, let us know what it changes.

You mean pop-out? Like it popped out of the monitor?

only thing on notice is things a pulled forward when i move it up to 10 from a scale of -10 to 10. of course the opposite happens when toggled to -10. im just not sure if i lose 3d quality from this setting. also i've seen this feature in samsungs.

Sounds just like what happens when I adjust "Horizontal Shift" in a 3D video editing program. If so, that would be shifting how far apart the two eyes' view of the scene is, which has the effect of moving the screen plane forward or back, making objects appear to pop out or recede into the TV.

(Of course you cannot change what the stereo cameras captured when they were filming. All you adjust is how far apart those two images are projected when you view them back on the TV screen.)

That might be useful at times, especially on a TV screen that is significantly smaller than the movie screen a video was originally made for. Increasing the setting will tend to make things look a little more 3D, at least until an image pops out too far. It doesn't look right if an object popping out of the screen touches the screen edge, so we adjust the horizontal shift to where that doesn't happen much. On a large screen, we would probably want the setting at 0 to match what the movie director intended, because they have already adjusted the horizontal shift scene by scene and moment to moment.

alright so i guess since i have a 50in i should just keep it at 0. i have noticed a difference between setting it high and low. i lose some of the effect when set to high and it becomes more 2d if i set it low. are all 3d tvs made equal in terms of 3d playback and effect?

I was wondering about this. My 3D blu ray player (panasonic) has the option from -5 to +3 but I can't really notice the difference when I adjust it end to end.

So positive is more 3D-ish and negative flattens it out? Or the other way?

It adjusts between depth and convergence.

going positive separates the image more making it pop out more but also you will probably lose some 3d effects. i have noticed this when things pop out under neutral its pops but when turned up you don't notice it. i guess it depends on the source material if it needs it.

Best to keep it as close as possible to 0. On my Samsung, it was a firmware upgrade that helped fix the crosstalk problem.
