Re: 3D TV?
I think it will, for the time being anyways.
A can enjoy a 3D movie just like the next guy, but when your dealing with small televisions and sitting in your home with a pair of uncomfortable glasses on your face...I just cant see it working out. The companies have to come out with something new to make you think you are missing out and need to upgrade. Tvs have about reached their limits when it comes to practical sizes. -

It wont be as big as the HDTV boom but it will be somewhat successful. Big events like the Super Bowl and the World Cup will look incredible. I got the chance to check out Discovery/Sony's new HD network a few weeks ago and it looked great also and the glasses werent too clunky.Comment

Re: 3D TV?
I don't think 3D TV's will fail, as 3D is just a feature added to HDTV's, much like 1080p is. It'll just piggyback on the current rate of HDTV adoption as millions of people buy new HDTV's each year.
Sure, it'll obviously take some time to build up support. It needs to build up users and have content to justify it, but I don't think it'll outright fail, even if it's only used for the occasional 3D movie.Comment

Re: 3D TV?
For TV shows - probably not that successful.
For video games, I think it will. The problem is not only does your TV need to be capable, but every person in the room needs glasses.Comment

I don't think it will fail, but I think it will take a lot longer to become something that's commonly in households. Just a hunch I have.Member: OS Uni Snob Association | Twitter: @MyNameIsJesseG | #WT4M | #WatchTheWorldBurn

Re: 3D TV?
One thing I'd like someone to figure out is not making the screen look like a VHS tape that's been duplicated several times.
Watching the Michael Jackson tribute during the Grammys was a visually awful experience for anyone not wearing 3D glasses."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: 3D TV?
What everyone seems to forget is that 3D TV's best possible resolution can only be 540i (which is only marginally better that Standard def's 480i) under present bandwidth conditions which is present in the vast majority of North American households.
Therefore for you to enjoy "hi def" 3d images your service provider would have to overhaul thier entire infrastructure to provide the bandwidth capable of enjoying a resolution close to what you enjoy now with hi def TV. There is more chance of this overhaul happening in your children`s lifetime than yours. Somehow I think manufacturers will gloss over this fact that you will be going back to standard def when the TV`s are on the market.
Not to mention wearing those glasses hours on end watching network TV or gaming cannot be good for your eyes no matter what 'study' the industry conveniently comes out with at launch.
Therefore it will be an epic fail just like the other numerous times this gimmick has been tried since the 1950's.Last edited by Seymour Scagnetti; 02-12-2010, 11:30 AM.Comment

Re: 3D TV?
Actually from what I have read that won't be the case. The 540i resolution will be the 3d industry standard under the HDMI 1.4 bandwidth for both blueray and gaming as well. It may be something to do with the glasses that the consumer would be wearing which would make it necessary to have a uniform resolution on your TV for both cable and bluray for them to work properly. So what you see at a 3d event put on by the manufacturers probably won't be the resolution you would see at home. Again of course that's something that the manufacturers would put in very small print.Last edited by Seymour Scagnetti; 02-12-2010, 05:14 PM.Comment

Re: 3D TV?
There are a number of different methods of doing 3D, and there very well may be some devices that won't be able to be updated to do certain 3D formats in HD. I've read that this may include updated HDMI 1.3 cable boxes, due to existing cable infrastructure.
This is all more for movies anyways, as most games this gen don't even run 1080p at all, and 3d would cut the framerate down.Last edited by bkfount; 02-12-2010, 08:40 PM.Comment
