JVC brings 46-inch GD-463D10 3D LCD HDTV to America: shipping now for $9,200

Jumpin' Jehosaphat! We know exchange rates have been sort of crazy of late, but we can say with a good deal of certainty that the in-home 3D revolution isn't going anywhere with MSRPs like this. After introducing the 46-inch GD-463D10 3D LCD HDTV in various overseas markets, JVC is announcing here at CEDIA that its flagship 3D panel is now available on US soil for a solid chunk of change. The 1080p display touts a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, three HDMI sockets, 178-degree viewing angles, a depth of 1.5-inches and two incredibly awesome sets of 3D goggles. If you're not concerned that actual 3D content is all but nonexistent for home users, you can snag this now for $9,153 (and not a penny more).

3D..

Just like SSD..

Still too early to adopt. (Price-wise)

[MJGAMER 1991 XBL Posted Sep 10th 2009 12:54PM]

What are you talking about? Everyone has SSD and they are widely available.

[xValentine Posted Sep 10th 2009 12:55PM]

By everyone you mean "everyone" ?

even me ? you ?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 1:36PM]

I don't and he's correct.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 2:48PM]

SSD is getting quite affordable as a hard drive for your main OS. Heck, if they were so expensive, how do ssd drives wind up in $299.99 Asus EEE notebooks/laptop PCs?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 3:44PM]

Everyone has one? What a silly statement. Sure some netbooks might have them, but I'm sure the average consumer would compare one with and one without and go with the one that has 10x more storage.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 4:59PM]

*key phrase: "getting" quite affordable.

Not quite there yet and the parallels are definitely there. Of course SSD will be mainstream sooner than later, but for now most "everyone" is waiting.

Dear 3Dtv,

R.I.P.

[N900 Posted Sep 10th 2009 12:46PM]

Guys, what does the scanner say about this price tag? (Come on, I'm setting you up for this >

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 12:58PM]

It's over 8000?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 1:42PM]

No, IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND !!! .

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 1:44PM]

but i think my scanner must be broken.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 2:43PM]

The scanner says: "If they are a sucker enough to buy this $9,000 TV with features they'll never be able to utilize, make sure they buy the 5 year extended warranty!"

[N900 Posted Sep 10th 2009 2:57PM]

^ Oh, way to go, Buzz Killington.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 3:07PM]

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 11th 2009 11:04AM]

You crazy Etards

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 12:52PM]

I think I'll wait another couple of years.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 12:52PM]

I think I'll wait a couple more years.

[xCrunk Posted Sep 10th 2009 12:57PM]

I just picked up a 50" 1080P plasma, after rebates (Bing, LG), less than $700.

And you want what, for a 46" 3D HDTV? $9K?

uhm, yeah, I'm OK, I'll pass...

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 1:38PM]

pray tell which model and which retailer.

[J Acheson Posted Sep 10th 2009 12:57PM]

Nine grand for a 46-inch LCD? Good luck with that.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 12:59PM]

I'll stick to strobe goggles until polarizing TVs get a bit cheaper

Joovke threed lucuduh tuv?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 1:12PM]

For that price:

You could see 17.4 3D movies at the theater per year.

For the next 50 years.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 13th 2009 6:18PM]

3D. It was dead in the 1950s, 1970s and 1990s. Now it will be dead again in the teens.

It's a 20-year cycle that's almost as predictable as sunspots.

Every 20 years, some latent DNA molecule expresses itself to cry out "We want our 3D Movie!" An internal, world-wide pressure of sorts, expressed only in those who have never tried to work with it before.

Then, after a few years of largely wasted money, it goes back dead again.

If the best in 2D were a 9, then 3D is a 9.1. Now how much would you pay?

Scientists call this "crockwork."

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 1:48PM]

Wow, Why don't they just change their name to Sony since they like copying them so much.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 2:29PM]

still worthless without hdmi 1.4 which you will need for 1080p 3d hd so whats the point

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 3:01PM]

mitsubishi has an 82 inch dlp that supports 3d for 5k and u can find online for around as low as $3500

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 4:51PM]

I'll stick with a Panasonic Viera G15. There is nothing that compares to a Panasonic Plasma.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 6:00PM]

Can anyone give me the tech overview what a 3d tv is? What hardware are you paying more for?

why cant 3d be done via a normal set if the two images are set to blue/red with different perspectives.

Or is this a tv set that doesnt need the glasses (like NEC's special monitors)?

[nigel1475 Posted Nov 20th 2009 9:36AM]

This TV uses a polarising APOl barrier with interlaced left right circular polarisers. You have to wear glasses with this one. We have just tested one and I have seen a lot of 3D Tvs both Autostereo (no glasses) and active and passive based televisions and this is by far the best. Unlike DLP active it is much easier on the eyes and I think this will be the 3D technology that will be adopted for the home market. Obviously the price tag at the moment only warrants professional applications and we have just ordered one for that reason. Hyundai also have a 50 inch using the same tech but its no where near as good. Give it 2 years and this will be the next big tech purchase for home based early adopters.

JVC 46-inch GD-463D10 3D LCD HDTV: $9,200.


FAIL.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 11th 2009 9:34AM]

Did anyone catch that "2,000:1 contrast ratio"? I'm hoping someone either added a digit to the price or lost a digit from the contrast ratio.
