Philly Critic Grades 3DTV Content
PHILADELPHIA: Jonathan Takiff strikes back at scoffers who say
there’s nothing to see on 3DTV. Takiff is a tech reporter--for the Philadelphia Daily News--who scored a
50-inch Panasonic plasma 3DTV (that he glowingly reviewed
last month). So Takiff is conducting research. There’s plenty of 3DTV content,
he asserts, as long as one is talking about DirecTV. The satellite TV provide
is the only multichannel service offering full-time 3D.
Takiff raved about most of it.
“Science fair? Science great!” he wrote. “All
the content on DirecTV's dedicated n3D channel is family-friendly. And much of
it has an educational thrust.”
He excuses some bouncy shots panned by reviewers at CNET who were more
nausea-sensitive to 3D than Takiff. Much of what’s on DirecTV’s nD3 is nature
content. He gives in an A-.
The Peter Gabriel and Jane’s Addiction concerts he described as “barely moving
affairs” meriting a C-. The Major League Baseball All-Star Game scored an A+;
NASCAR’s Coke Zero 400 in 3D, a C- and the X-Games, a B+.
Takiff’s behind-the-shutter-glasses observations are at “Who
says there’s nothing to watch in 3D?”
