I don't think the price of the TV is the problem. The first problem is probably the price of the glasses. Imagine you are are 4 or 5 persons family and have to buy 4 or 5 pair of glasses at 150$-200$ each pair, you will have to spent a lot. The second problem is the market penetration of the standard HDTV was too high. If a family bought a 52" HDTV 2 years ago and just finished to pay for it, will they buy a 3DTV today ?

The challenge here is not to know if there is water out there but to know if we can detect things like... water...
It makes science go forward... that's all and that's good... really good !
We are now able to DETECT water in the atmosphere of an extrasolar planet. What are we going to detect tomorrow ?
