You will buy a 3D TV.

If you buy any TV displays in about 5yr's time and onwards it will be able to do 3D, you just might not have glasses with it.]]>Jul 7th 2010 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/sonys-2010-es-line-includes-3d-and-excludes-a-lot-of-retailers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/sonys-2010-es-line-includes-3d-and-excludes-a-lot-of-retailers/Jul 6th 2010 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/sonys-2010-es-line-includes-3d-and-excludes-a-lot-of-retailers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/sonys-2010-es-line-includes-3d-and-excludes-a-lot-of-retailers/Back in the late 90's I was on the board of a non-profit and wanted to conduct some discussions by email.

You also get grey imports, users moan as they have a only came with one month not a 3 year parts and labour guarantee that the brick and mortar store has , or the product spec is different, example it has two HDMIs in and not 4, or the device has an incompatible digital radio.

I worked in hi-fi retail for two years. We used to get people come in all the times saying like "I bought x product from y online shop and it only does NTSC video on the composite plugs" or "I bought this projector and it has component in, the HDMI is missing".

There isn't much profit in AV hardware as it is, seeing it online for 20% cheaper usually means it is a grey import.

Custom install is very specialist as well. Speak to any CEDIA accredited specialist, the ones that can only sell the high end gear as they have the knowledge.

A lot of that high-end sales restriction has to do with manufacturers protecting their dealer network to limit competition and maximize dealer profits. They do things like exclusive territories and required service contracts for firmware upgrades (Tandberg, I'm looking at you), which is terrible for the consumer. I'm an in-house tech for a university and if you're like me or freelance, those high-end companies treat you like second class at best. They want everybody to go through one of their VAR's.

You should be less concerned with my 5 points of margin protection and more concerned with the protection that Wal-Mart and Amazon get from the manufacturers. Companies will gladly sacrifice quality and performance (screwing the consumer) to get the market share advantage that cut-throat online and big-box retailers give them. The only thing that dramatically lower prices guarantee is poorer service and reliability from the products we buy.
