Hi Brian - I stand corrected. I watched Avatar in IMAX 3D which had linear polarization, thus losing the 3D effect when tilting my head. I also corrected the post.

Your mistaken that RealD suffers from the 'head tilt' issues of older polarization technology. RealD uses circular polarization so that viewers can tilt their head without ruining the 3D effect.

Very Informative, thank you ebenet. As Hotshuk mentioned during the movie i could not be bothered to look for glitches. One thing to note though is that it took me 30 minutes or so until my eyes got used to it and almost double that for fast-paced scenes...It was truly awesome though!

Very informative article! I have to admit that during Avatar, I was so immersed into the movie that I didn't really realise any misgivings in the picture quality. Also, with no recent experience to compare it too I can only say that it was a great viewing spectacle. However, I'll be looking at it with a more critical eye next time... is that good or bad? Ignorance truely is bliss.

I just finished watching the Nighmare Before Christmas 3D in the XpanD system, and once again can verify its superiority - ghosting is almost non present, apart from scenes with very bright objects in a dark background. Brightness levels are ok, and to tilting or viewing angle problems whatsoever.

Cool!

I watched Avatar in Dolby 3D. Unfortunately the cinema that has an XpanD 3D system here in Heraklion is not showing the film. Looks like I will have to wait for another good film to see the differences between Dolby 3D and XpanD (and NO I am not watching "A Christmas Carol" just for the 3D).
