Cable companies still don't offer a variety of HD channels. How long will it be before 3D content is even plentiful enough to justify buying yet another new TV? I'm not going to buy a new TV for 24/7 Discovery Channel.

If cable companies can't offer more HD, supposedly due to bandwidth, then how the hell are they going to do 3D.

3D isn't going anywhere for...years. No matter how hard companies try to make it so.]]>Jan 5th 2010 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/Jan 5th 2010 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/I presume that a 3D standard will also require a new HDMI spec, which will mean new set top boxes and DVRs in addition to a new TV.]]>Jan 5th 2010 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/
This is where I see IP TV type services winning over, or even just channels available on the PS3 and 360 (Or next Xbox) similar to the netflix channel.]]>Jan 5th 2010 9:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/Jan 5th 2010 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/Jan 5th 2010 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/Jan 5th 2010 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/
But 3D TV needs to work with current HDTVs that people have been buying.

And there is one segment of the entertainment industry that needs to get on-board to drive it's adoption.]]>Jan 5th 2010 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/Jan 5th 2010 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/
I've been waiting for this for months, and all I've seen so far on any site is Vizio's lineup. Where are Sony, Panasonic, Samsung?]]>Jan 5th 2010 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/Jan 5th 2010 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/
If I start getting charged for stupid 3D channels im gonna be pissed]]>Jan 5th 2010 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/Jan 5th 2010 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/Jan 5th 2010 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/
Yep - if a special TV and glasses are required then it remains a fad.]]>Jan 5th 2010 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/
I've been playing games using Nvidia 3D vision, and it's a pretty incredible experience, much more immersive than seeing a 3D movie like avatar in theatres. It almost feels like you're playing with animated physical miniatures, instead of an image on a screen.

Unfortunately, currently my 3D gaming is relegated to PC games and a 22" monitor. I was really hoping for some 3D plasmas/LCDs that were compatible with Nvidia 3D vision glasses. I'd really like to be able to expand this hobby to a bigger screen. I know that some of the DLP TVs had this, but I really don't want to have to deal with a huge box and bulbs that burn out.

As far as the glasses go, I can also understand why people aren't excited about this, but for the level of immersion I get playing games in 3D, I really could care less about having to wear a pair of ridiculous glasses.]]>Jan 5th 2010 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/
When 120hz 1080p monitors become available and not hella expensive Ill be all over Nvidia's 3D Vison.]]>Jan 5th 2010 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/
Yeah, I was hoping it was going to be this year.

I'm in the market for a new TV and was holding off to see what was coming out that was 3D vision compatible.]]>Jan 5th 2010 7:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/
He said "hella".]]>Jan 5th 2010 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/Jan 5th 2010 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/sony-imax-and-discovery-bringing-24-7-3d-home-first-in-2011/I envision the 3D channels to have mixed content until there is enough content to be all 3D, and that could take years. Sounds like a headache to me. ]]>Jan 6th 2010 8:15AM
