Good idea:
Don’t mess up 3D / continue to support 3D
Simple as.
Thanks, a single issue voter

Even though 3D is a dead format now, this is mostly up to the GPU drivers to keep supporting 3D. Nvidia already removed 3D support from their drivers, it's only a matter of time AMD does too.

There is a work around for this too. Using side-by-side or top-over-bottom to display 3D on a TV. I quit trying to figure out which driver to use and made the switch. I don't notice a difference but I do need to manually change my TV to 3D mode.

I cross my finger and hope Avatar sequels will revive 3D.

To be honest with glasses, 3D is only suitable for dedicated theatre rooms. That's why I think projectors still support it, but not TV.

i moved to latest nvidia drivers for other reasons, but OU 3D is still full resolution 3D on a 4K set that supports it (i have two LG OLED 2016 sets).  you can still buy many new 3D movies from Europe.  Zavvi is a good source.

also agree that it is best in a dedicated home theater room which we have, but passive 3D on these sets is so good that it works well in our family room too.   we also have so many pairs of glasses that we kept after seeing 3D movies at the theater, including children’s sizes which is great for our family.

honestly it not the video cards that are the limiting factor any longer.   it is the display device.  2016 was the last year for TV sets.   projectors still support but i wonder for how long?

i see no reason it would be removed from media center.   it’s not like it is being actively developed any longer, and requires no licensing fees since it is lav+madvr which are both open source.   

love 3D.    that and blu ray menus are two major reasons we stick with media center for video (hardly the only reasons).
