The downside of this, is that when viewing the 3D media, when I pause or bring up the OSD, the movie remains in 3D, but the OSD does not and displays in 2D which becomes pretty unbearable to view until the OSD goes away. Here are the recommended settings from James Cameron for Avatar 3D (for European TVs)… I have a Panasonic VT50 TV with 3D, and have up until now had the TV do the 3D processing and viewing once a 3D signal is detected.
And I’m curious if these settings are recommended just for watching Avatar, or they will be good for watching movies in general… I will have to try them and compare to the default THX settings for example when I start testing my new Panasonic VT20E HDTV, although I do not have Avatar on Blu-ray 3D yet ) This initiative is due to the fact that the company is bundling their line of Viera 3D-capable Plasma HDTVs along with a Blu-ray 3D version of the movie Avatar, an exclusive deal that probably will delay further the availability of the movie as a standalone product.
Panasonic has made available a special page, dedicated to providing James Cameron’s Preferred Settings for watching Avatar in 3D on a Panasonic 3D HDTV and these settings take advantage of the “Advanced (isfccc)” mode that the television sets have.
