Television Begins a Push Into the 3rd Dimension

from the article: '“Three-D is an effort by the industry to come up with something that will motivate consumers to trade up,” said Van Baker, an analyst at Gartner Research.'

i think that's the root of it. and i suspect they will have a hell of a time trying to manufacture consumer demand to meet their supply.

Just one more solution in search of a problem, brought to you by people who ought to know better.

I can see wanting 3-D for gaming more than home movie watching, although it's still a bit of a stretch.

In any regard, if I'm going to wear "active" glasses with batteries and flashing shutters and the like, I think perhaps glasses with 2 lcd lens (and possibly a camera to mix in live images of your living space) might be a more cost effective approach, albeit it won't sell more tvs.
