As far as I'm aware you'll need a new TV with the same "shutter"(think thats the word) tech they are using in cinemas at the moment.

I just really can't picture sitting in front of the TV with glasses on, in the cinema you go for the experience but not in your living room. Unless the TV's that don't require glasses become commonplace I can't see this taking off.

I mean I get it from a commercial standpoint, manufacturers need to drive the purchase of new TV's. They've gone from regular CRT to wide-screen, to Plasma, to LCD, to HD and even full HD, there has been constant change in the TV segment for the past 15 or so years. There isn't much place left to go except 3D, but I'm just not sure this is something the consumer is going to gobble up like all the aforementioned techs.

Where's the "entellegence 3D" column engadget, you need to tell me what to think :) ]]>Dec 28th 2009 7:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/Dec 28th 2009 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/Have you played arkham asylum or resident evil 5 in 3d ?

Are you actually comparing star trek (science FICTION) to real life?]]>Dec 28th 2009 9:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/Hypothetical rhetoric-wise 3d glasses and sitting in front of a screen and pretending to physically interact with something inside a 2d screen is passive but it is a start. Not to say sci-fi is not possible as there are a lot of sci-fi where the science and physics don't make sense and yes it kind of far stretch to use Star Trek as a comparison (the cell phone is a communicator). But most sci-fi thinking have come to pass starting from Jules Vern to ST:original tv series...

Hypothetical rhetoric-wise? Those words would barely make sense together in any sentence, and they certainly don't in the one you put forward. It's almost like your trying so hard to make yourself sound like your intelligent your trying to mix words that you don't really know the meaning of, and in the process making yourself sound like an idiot. Please go back and read your two posts and ask yourself if they would really make sense to anyone outside of your own mind.

Noone listens to AM radio anymore. And nobody listens to records. In 20 years, people will laugh at the nearsightedness of 3d-critics. It is going to happen. How/when/etc. is not exactly known. But it will, and this is only the beginning. A lot of you view in 2d is already recorded in 3d, it's only a matter of time before technology catches up.]]>Dec 29th 2009 3:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/Dec 28th 2009 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/

I bought a $2000 52" TV a year and a half ago, expecting it not to become obsolete for a decade. Now I find out that my TV will be obsolete at year 3.

Not to mention the fact that Comcast finally got off its rear end and deployed a decent amount of HD channels. Not exactly sure if they will have enough capacity for 3D channels though.

In my opinion it will take much longer than a year for this stuff to become mainstream. There are too many established transmission standards that need to be revised and if a standards/regulatory commission gets involved it will take a decade. Just take a look at what happened with 802.11n. We be using 3DTV draft 2.0 for years and cross manufacturer compatibility will reek.]]>Dec 29th 2009 2:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/Wonder if the video network infrastructure will need terabit capacities for high res 3d as it definitely will be hogging up bandwidth...]]>Dec 29th 2009 3:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/
And to all nay-sayers: The 3d has to start somewhere. No manufacturing company is going to present a 3d monitor if noone is broadcasting any 3d source. As soon as something is broadcasted in 3d, they will figure out how to do it. Many companies already have glass-less prototypes, but there's no way they're going to push it into production until there's 3d material out there.

I don't understand how people can shoot this down. Even with glasses, I'd love to be able to watch an action flick in 3d in my own home. It's not like they're making you wear 3d glasses, you can still watch it without glasses (presumeably half the signal out of only one camera)- if you're that stuck up. You can also listen to 45rpm records, while you're doing it. ]]>Dec 29th 2009 3:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/

These people are no different than HDTV opponents. It is incremental increase in clarity and immersion... why oppose it? It's not like you won't be able to watch 3D TV in 2D if you don't have a 3D capable set. Like I said before: If you have two eyes, you have no reason to resist. Hell, even people with one eye can still enjoy their TV shows, so they shouldn't be complaining either.

I want 3D gaming, and if 3D broadcast television is what it takes to get 3D TV's into homes (and that is what it takes), then bring it on!]]>Dec 29th 2009 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/
There are several differences. And most people aren't against 3D. I hate how 3D is being done, glasses, new TV, etc... I don't oppose 3D at all and would love to have it. But I don't plan on investing in it for at least several years. And I think just about everyone you think is against 3D feels the same way, that they don't oppose it at all, they just hate some things about it.]]>Dec 30th 2009 1:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/Dec 29th 2009 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/Dec 29th 2009 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/Dec 29th 2009 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/
I say add the capability to the channels that would benefit from 3D since most channels won't need it nor have the content for it. However it would be great to have that as an option on some of the premium movie channels.

I love 3D and would love to get it but I don't want to deal with shutter glasses where you need either a cable running from your glasses to a box or batteries to run it. I want the polarized type as demoed in the laser projection TV that they might produce soon.]]>Dec 29th 2009 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/directv-3d-broadcasts-coming-in-early-2010/
Nope, I really do not give a shit about 3D from my tv provider. The capability on a blu-ray player, maybe, but for TV, I really don't care.]]>Dec 30th 2009 12:25PM
