Streaming 3D Movies in Quality That Rivals Blu-ray

In testing Fandango at Home 3D on a number of devices, the results were consistently impressive. Fandango at Home has been known for high-quality video and audio delivery with its HDX format, which rivals the quality of Blu-ray discs . This is amazing when you consider that the media is streaming to your device rather than playing from physical media.

Of course, the 3D effects are only as good as the 3D effects of a Blu-ray disc. With a few exceptions, most 3D creates a behind-the-screen depth rather than that jump-out-of-the-TV-and-into-your-living-room action. Disney’s “The Christmas Carol” is an example where twirling snowflakes indeed seem to float out into the room.

Streaming 3D requires an internet speed of 9 Mb/s or more, so be sure you have a fast connection before attempting to stream in 3D. It’s a good idea to take up your player’s offer to test your connection prior to streaming the movie or preview, to see if you might encounter any streaming artifacts or buffering

However, keep in mind that 3D movie titles are rotated in and out on a periodic basis, so if you see one listed that you would like to see, watch it when you can so you don’t miss it. As 3D Blu-rays are released, you’ll be able to stream the Fandango at Home 3D versions.

Fandango at Home provides a quality online video-on-demand viewing experience. If you have a TV, media streamer, or Blu-ray Disc player that is compatible with Fandango at Home 3D streaming, it is a feature worth considering. However, with the discontinuation of 3D TV production , Fandango at Home may at some point discontinue the 3D portion of its streaming service. if you are a 3D fan, take advantage of it while you can.
