Customer Reviews

This review will present pros and cons for two different 2D to 3D converters found at Amazon and other related internet sites. First, my setup is a Panasonic TC-P50VT25 3D TV and a Tivo Premiere XL set at 1080i output display, which is the highest you can get on the Tivo with network TV. On occasion I would like to view a program in 3D and since Panasonic seemed reluctant to provide a firmware update to add the 2D to 3D conversion option I needed to take the matter into my own hands. I researched what was available out on the internet and found two different models under different brand names.
The first 2D to 3d (side-by-side) converter, purchased and returned, was of the rectangle box type, which did a fairly good converting, but you will need to set your output signal from your Tivo or other to 480p, 720p, and 1080p (progressive). It will not work with the 1080i (interlace) signal. The 3D effect was good but the noticeable color and resolution downgrade were evident. The draw back here is to get back to normal viewing you needed to set the Tivo back to 1080i and vice versa for 3D. I thought this added step and resolution reduction not desirable.
The second 2D to 3D converter reviewed is for this converter, which I kept, was a rectangle box with the round ends. This converter was the most forgiving of the two in regards to handling the 1080i display signal. The box can handle any progressive signal 480p/576p/720p/1080p as well as 1080i. You do not need to set your sending equipment to progressive from the 1080i interlace signal. This is a plus in fact the 1080i signal from my Tivo was up converted to 1080p for normal TV network viewing. Colors and resolution were a definite upgrade at 1080p. It's only con is the 3D effect is a bit too strong even set at the weakest of the three options. If, I could find a hardware adjustment or hack to lessen the 3D effect it would be the perfect 2D to 3D converter.
Prior to purchasing the converter; it is important to research which type of input signal it can handle and which progressive signals it will be outputting.

I have been researching this and the similar products from Viewsonic and Optoma for some time. I found the user reviews mostly unhelpful as they seemed to be written for techies who have software development skills. For the rest of us regular people, the ones who know how to set up their projectors and bluray players by way of the usual menu setup options, here is what I found. This doesnt work, at least not for my system. My Benq DLP 3D ready requires a 120hz input to trigger its 3D function. No setting on the Solidizer produced this output. Consequently, the projector would not engage the 3D sync mode and the DLP link glasses could not work. So, the Solidizer's advertised ability to convert 2d to 3d was null and void. Next I tried a 3d bluray in my Sony bluray player. The system generated a screen saying that it did not detect a 3D capable display and the Sony would not play the disc. No setting on the Solidizer, Sony Bluray player or the Projector would get me past this screen. Finally, I hoped for some joy by trying the Spacespex anaglyph glasses. I set the Solidizer to convert the 2d image to anaglyph. Yay, that worked, but the spacespex glasses in my opinion are completely unusable. The blu lense is so dark that you feel as if you have a pirates patch over one eye. I was desperate for some success with this thing, so I still persisted even with the one eyed sensation. Sadly the colour is so degraded, the 3D effect so weak and there is this wierd yellow halo around some of the images, that even with my level of desperation, I just cannot watch it. The last thing left for me to check out is the return policy. Once again the saying you get what you pay for wins.
