This 3D hype stuff needs to go somewhere!

Sorry, I'm not excited for 3D TV at my home until I see a hologram a la Minority Report. I have no desire to sit on my couch, treadmill, etc. and wear dumb glasses.

High-def did not take off because of better PQ or a better theater experience. Most people don't even have stereo much less surround in their living rooms. They listen to their TV speakers. High-def took off because of the digital transition and the flat panel craze. After spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on new TV's, most people are not going to run out and do it again a mere few years later just to wear stupid 3D glasses.

Personally, I'm more excited about the new classes of e-readers at CES than I am about these 3D displays and Blu-Ray players. Yes, after plunking down hundreds of dollars for Blu-Ray players that are finally profile 2.0, etc., people want to do it again for 3-D? *Cough*

Haha. IMO, this is not about 3D as some big category. To me, it's only for one movie, called Avatar, and I haven't even seen it yet!!!

How many people would swap all their video equipment out to allow 3D viewing of a single movie?

I saw Up last year in 3D, and it really was not worth the effort IMHO. I am perfectly satisfied with the 2D bluray at home.

Imo: Big thumbs down for whole "3D" thing - ether you need special glasses to see it or it just looks stupid. Imho current 120Hz TV should be able to adopt the same 3D tech as used in Imax theaters.
But in General, 3D is just latest fashion craze to lure to pay for something you don't really need.

Imo true 3D TV revolution is years away, right now 3D is basically fake, ether way you look at it.

Bring me holographic TV and I'll call it First 3D TV - until we get there, image displayed on flat screen is called 2d....
