Request for 3D

And though I enjoy 3D gaming, it's not something I make regular use of. Active 3D just has too many drawbacks, so I've been waiting to see whether passive 3D on a 4K display is any good. (since passive 3D on a 1080p display only has 540 lines of resolution per eye)
The "standard" convergence (I guess?) used for movies is wrong for my eyes, so everything looks as though I'm peering into a shoebox diorama. It makes the scale of everything seem very small, and there only seems to be two or three depth planes, rather than objects looking properly 3D as they do in games.

I have a new LG 79" UB9800 (2014) that has passive 3D, but it up coverts 3D or Bluray to 4k. The processing is amazing on this TV set, but it is the number 1 rate set currently. To get into a larger tv set with OLED, the price is still too high. Eventually I plan to try 4k gaming on this set, but I have to see if the input lag will be an issue. My HTPC server is an Asus X99 motherboard with 2 EVGA 980ti in SLI. 3D would be nice out of JRiver, but another option is to software to play through a media player such as Dune, Med8er or Nvidia Shield. The media players have hardware chip that allows for the menu's via ISO. I am not sure on Nvidia Shield on the menu's, but it has the beast hardware right now. Nvidia Shield currently lacks bit streaming, but perhaps it will be upgraded in the future. Kodi is just being installed on the media players. HTPC is the best option now, but perhaps it will change in the future with media players. Atmos plays fine through JRiver, but it requires Nvidia maxwell cards. I try Auro-3d in the future to see if it works.

Thanks.

The way I see it, the last few years have been mostly video and ui upgrades (looking at the log for the new builds). These things aren't a priority for me but I know they are for many so I really don't make a big deal about it.

We get that kind of comment for all parts of the program.
All the work is on audio.
Video gets all the attention.
What about image support?
Why are you doing images?
Who cares about TV?
Why doesn't TV support x,y, or z?
and so on ...

Well....
I think MadVR already can be used in Stereoscopic player (since it's a DirectX filter based player).
I agree with just have the MKV files ... even if they get a new extention like MK3V.
Still... Someone in another part of the forum was using ISO made from movie only MKV files... so you don't always have to deal with "menus" even if you choose ISO.
Some people really, really, want 3D to go away but it's never going away ... as long as there is a working solution of some type for me that should be fine.
