Grotesque!

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.

Yes, that's where I watch mine (big screen theater room).
I find they are more enjoyable than tone-mapped 4K UHD, but I also find those files very pleasing too.

Recently watched Hobbit and Life of Pi and felt it was better experience than at cineplex.
Alita: Battle Angel involved James Cameron and was "real" 3D and it shows. Very nice to watch in 3D (also came with 4K UHD disc in box).
Trolls World Tour had a 3D Blu-ray release last month and that is at least one major to keep the format going for home video.

What's interesting, is that whenever I used to check cineplex show times the IMAX and/or 3D viewings were packed compared to the other showings.
Happened last year with Toy Story 4 (which was also released on 3D disc).

not true for LG OLED ... as it uses 4K display and interlaced 2 images at the same time ... so it display 3840x1080 images at the same time ... as madVR can output Top/Bottom at 4K ... technically you dont loose any resolution

Same goes for projectors that can receive 4K top/bottom (i dont mention SBS as it renders MC OSD menues useless) ... you projector receives full 1080p video information (already stretched horizontally by madVR) ... all projector needs to do is stretch 2 images it receive in 4k top/bottom vertically ... so technically no information is loss

So not quite "grotesque" if you have 4k setup capable of 3D

EDIT: having seen what passive 3D on LG OLED can do compared to active Samsung 3D ... i really want to set up passive 3D for projectors ... but that requires either silver screen (not really fan of those)  ... or 6P lasers (waaay too expensive)

Nvidia already removed 3D support from their drivers, it's only a matter of time AMD does too.

Fact or presumption?

fact ... not in a year ... then in 5 years ... not in 5 years ... then in 10 years ... but eventually it will be dropped

you are asking wrong question ... correct one would be ... will it be dropped while it is still needed? ... and noone knows answers to that
