3D HDTV

3D. The third dimension. It's a technology that has been around for decades, but thanks to Cameron and friends, it's seeing what's quite possibly its most well-backed marketing push ever. From HDTVs to designer glasses, 3D seems to be touching (or attempting to touch) every last aspect of home entertainment, though the question of content still looms large.

At this point, Panasonic's 50-inch 3D plasma is just another one joining the fray, but considering how highly hyped the technology behind this was, we couldn't pass up an opportunity to throw our eyes on it for a bit at CEATEC. The 1080p panel was strikingly thin (or well mounted to give that impression),...
