Gaithersburg, MD | Re: 3D still in Beta vs VHS phase The price will continue to drop as the more folks climb on board (just waiting for folks to show up and start the "it's just a fad" posts *grin*). The cost of adding 3D to an existing design is fairly low and the dramatic price difference between similar models is largely artificial.
I've had 3D in my home theatre for ten years and the latest systems work beautifully. I agree, a standardized system would help things quite a bit, but so long as the content works with all the systems across the board (which they do, unlike the format wars of yore) no one's investment is really at risk. | |

Ashburn, VA | I don't think 3D TV will vanish, it's here to stay. The problem, in the current iteration, is that it will remain in the realm of niche. There are simply far too many serious issues to consider for this to become common in every home.
The best TVs being sold now all come with 3D capability. This does not necessarily mean that those 3D TVs were being purchased primarily because they could process 3D, they were just the nicest TVs available.
Eventually, the prices will come down and 3D will be integrated into practically every TV sold. That does not mean that every cable/satellite provider will be able to show 3D content on every channel. I see perhaps a few 3D channels made available for major events, and possibly a premium movie channel if enough content is created to warrant such a dedicated channel.
If they can come up with a standard for the glasses so they will work across every brand, that would certainly help. That, or they come down in price to allow people to have a Superbowl party where everyone with 2 working eyes and an astronaut's equilibrium can enjoy it. | |

1 edit | I can't wait to get a holographic graphics card for my PC that will do the same thing. Of course it'll probably require a 16 core CPU and 64 GB of ram, not to mention a 128 bit OS.

| | It doesn't solve a problem It's a fad. It doesn't solve any problems (but creates a few.)
WIRELESS TV!! - No source cable and No power cable - live and on demand. Now that solves problems. | |
|
| | | Re: It doesn't solve a problem You can get the wireless source now. It is called broadcast TV.  | |
|
| | Space The big prb (as I see it) with 3d TV is the amount of bandwidth the damn channels take up on systems which are already out of room for HD adds (mpeg2 systems that is) | |

Boxborough, MA | Re: what about people who dont have a hdtv yet? Personally I don't like 3d tv. So I would ask them if they like watching that type of film. I am buying a 60inch plasma within the next month and it's going to be a regular HDTV. I just don't like watching 3d. | |

| | | | Re: what about people who dont have a hdtv yet? plasma is too expensive. I want to get a bigger tv myself sometime this summer. Right now am waiting for the interactive tvs to come down in price | |

Verizon could better spend research and marketing dollars on rollout and be way ahead. I would switch in a heartbeat. | |
