No i agree a no glasses solution is out there Ive seen it in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand they have a Glasses-free display for there program lineups... ( at least i think its the MGM Grand... too many shots of tequila when i was there last...)]]>Mar 12th 2010 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/Mar 12th 2010 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/Mar 12th 2010 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/I think you missed the point of HDI's tv. They made a 3D solution where you can use the cheap passive polarized glasses, whereas most everyone else is using the cheaper (for the TV) active shutter glasses that cost ~$100 per pair. And no, glasses that can synchronize with a TV and go from opaque to transparent and back at a rate of 120Hz are not made of cheap $5 hardware.]]>Mar 12th 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/]]>Mar 12th 2010 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/
Yes, prices weren't mentioned if you didn't read the post.

However, if you DID read the post you would have seen that the larger TV's were going to be sold for around $10-15k. A price wasn't given for the smaller sizes because there were no production models available besides the ones used for testing.]]>Mar 12th 2010 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/
where in the post was it mentioned I read under Pricing and distribution details on 103-inch HDI 3D HDTV

And I didnt find a price

but thanks anyway]]>Mar 12th 2010 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/
"and given that you're dying for a price right about now, we were able to confirm that the final 103-inch set -- complete with a soundbar and possibly with a 3D camcorder -- would cost between $10,000 and $15,000. That ain't cheap, but HDI isn't planning on selling these to Average Joes and Janes. And when you consider that Panasonic's (2D only) 103-inch TH-103PF10UK currently sells for around $40,000 and Bang & Olufsen's version of the same thing (dubbed BeoVision 4) runs just under $95,000, HDI's alternative suddenly feels like a veritable bargain."

If you read my comment I only looked under Pricing and distribution details on 103-inch HDI 3D HDTV and there was no price

Why would the price be listed under specifictations is beyond me but tI looked under Pricing and distribution details on 103-inch HDI 3D HDTV because that is where the information I wanted was supposed to be

I am also sorry if I am sounding rude]]>Mar 12th 2010 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/
I can really see this taking off in the gaming scene if developers get behind it and the initial investment cost is lowered. There are already ways to make your current games 3-D for free, all you need is a pair of colored glasses.]]>Mar 12th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/
The polarization difference will make sure that the image for the right eye does not enter into the left eye.

Th glasses are cheap and trivial to make and they can be any shape or size. They can even be rimless. There are no active components - just two pieces of glass (or plastic) with different polarization.]]>Mar 12th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/Thats the old way of doing it, now one is polarized clockwise, and the other counter-clockwise.]]>Mar 12th 2010 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/Mar 12th 2010 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/Mar 12th 2010 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/Mar 12th 2010 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/
Active shutter has another horrible problem - it halves the framerate of you screen. If 100 Hz is a smooth picture, then you need to get a 200 Hz 3D TV to get the same smoothness, because each of your eyes will be only seeing half of the frames. Polarization does not have that problem - you get full frame rate.

To other commenters - the tech I saw used vertical/horizontal polarization which was easy to check by turning you head sideways by 90% and getting a really funky looking picture. :) But yeah - clockwise and anti-clockwise would work even better.]]>Mar 12th 2010 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/
However, in a properly adjusted setup, everything will seem as bright as it is supposed to be (when viewed in 3D). The fact that you can take off the glasses and make things look brighter is not really relevant.]]>Mar 12th 2010 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/
I have 3D Vision and it's better quality 3D than any IMAX or RealD screen I've been to. Active shutter combined with DLP is a sight to behold with zero crosstalk/ghosting. Even at the Sony 4k Digital 3D theater I went to, the polarized tech still had crosstalk to each eye from the other picture. That theater was the best 3D I've ever seen, but not because of the glasses - that was the weakness actually, but the screen was so sharp. As far as 3D quality, I still say active shutter does a better job.]]>Mar 12th 2010 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/Basically you can think of the 2 technologies as analog and digital. Active shutter being the digital. What I'm curious about is the difference between an active shutter refresh rate of 120hz vs 240hz. Will the higher refresh rate let you perceive more brightness?

If you think about a fan spinning fast you get more transparency than opacity. In theory you should be able to perceive a brighter picture using active shutter than polarized glasses. With polarization there isn't much you can do about losing brightness.]]>Mar 12th 2010 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/
Oh and those 120Hz 3D TVs have the *overall* frequency of 120Hz, which means that each eye only gets 60Hz. So the picture quality of the 120Hz 3D can not be better than of a 60Hz 2D TV.]]>Mar 12th 2010 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/I can't exactly prove it but I think you are wrong. It's kind of like when I first wrapped my head around spacetime.

Yes, one eye is always in the closed state so you would think the total light is halved. Look at a bright light then close your eyes wherever you are and your eyes seem to retain the light momentarily. However if you toggle the light in your room real quick your eyes don't retain the darkness in the same way. Your eyes seem to "bridge" the gap between light state.

My theory is that if the refresh rate is "fast enough" your eyes will perceive close to 100% of the light.]]>Mar 12th 2010 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/Mar 12th 2010 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/hdi-headquarters-walkthrough-details-galore-on-the-new-face-of/

If this has a good looking 4k picture in 2D I'd be interested. Rumor had it that Kuro had plans for a 4k 75" and larger screen right before they pulled the plug.
