Hot Or Not — 3D TV
Several sources have written to tell us that in terms of hype at this year's CES show, there is none bigger than that surrounding 3D TV. Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, and Toshiba all have their own flavors of hardware and ESPN announced a 3D sports channel, but Microsoft seems to be bucking the trend with their apparent lack of 3D interest surrounding the Xbox product. "We're yet to see any major brand at CES pushing a 3D TV that doesn't require them. In most cases these aren't the basic Ray Ban style you might have worn to watch Avatar. In many cases they'll actually require power. For example, Sony's 3D TVs use a 'frame sequential' display method, which involves active-shutter glasses that turn on and off in sync with the images. Some TVs come with the glasses and have the transmitter built in, but again, in some cases you'll need to buy the transmitter and glasses separately."
I don't understand.... Isn't that the whole point?
Sincerely,
PHBs at Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, and Toshiba
Just wait, once 3D tv gets old, we will move on to 4D tv, which will be totally awesome!
I Am My Own Worst Enemy
Oh, you have a girlfriend. Are you going to get married?
Do you love her?
I had but a simple dream, to destroy all humans.
Except it'd totally ruin the ending.
Yeah, keep whining. I'll be miserably playing 3d video games on a daily basis. It's painful, but I keep doing it. Progress sure does suck, huh?
Fuck everything, we're doing 5D
porn on a 3d TV? DUCK!
I'd pay $2500 for a good CRT.
It's the best display technology available to man.
I hear ya. It would go great with my Commodore 64 - the best computing platform available to man!
