3D Viewing on Projector.. Brightness loss?

[Subcenter2009]

Dear friends,
I have noticed that it is easier to view movies in a 2D theater rather than watch the same movie in 3D released in a theater of comparable repute with the supplied goggles. I have a feeeling that the brightness of the projector and the image landing on one's eyes through the spectacles supplied reduces by half while watching with 3D goggles. Not only is 2D brighter, it seemed to be less of a strain and I could relax faster. Hence, I enjoy more because I am at ease. What do the honorable members think?
Does the same strain apply while watching on 3D LCD/ Plasma displays with supplied goggles too? Does the brightness loss apply to 3D TVs too?

Please share your thoughts,

Yours,

Completely agree with you regarding loss of brightness & the eye strain when watching a 3D movie in a hall. After watching a few I've decided to stick to 2D only. Not worth the extra hassle and headaches for a few gimmicky effects!

Not sure about the 3D LCD/plasma displays as i've never tried them.
