3-D glasses disappointing

BANDUNG, West Java: Many television viewers are disappointed because the 3-D glasses they bought to enjoy comedies aired by the RCTI television station are not as good as they expected.

"The comedies are not much different from the regular ones seen without the glasses," a viewer told the Antara news agency on Tuesday.

"We expected spectacular scenes," said Yanis Suryaatmadja who bought the 3-D glasses for Rp 1,500 (63 US cents).

RCTI advertised that the popular comedy series Gara-gara, Lika-liku Laki-laki, Ada-ada Saja and Remi can now be viewed with special three-dimensional glasses, which cost from Rp 1,000 to Rp 2,500 here, and even more in other cities. (anr)
