I already wear glasses to watch TV and movies. I don’t need a second pair. That is simply stupid in my book to have to wear those silly things just to watch TV.

In the real world 3D vision is only effective out to the distance of your fingertips. We use 3D vision to thread a needle, but not to catch a fly ball. We use other clues to judge distances greater than a few feet, which is why the moon or sun on the horizon appears much larger on the horizon than higher in the sky.

The America that could afford toys like this has been killed by obama. People would have to sell their existing flat panel displays just to play... and there is no money left in real America for frivolous crap... we can barely eat and drive to work. I say this as a person that bought into HDTV in 1998.

I was very unimpressed with the one I looked at in a store.

I’m in the market for a new display but do not specifically want 3D. The set will probably have it but there is no way I’m spending $100+ a pair for four sets of glasses on top of the $1500 I’m paying for the set. So, they’ll count my sale as a “3D Sale” but I doubt it will ever be used as such. I doubt I’m the only one and the true 3D users number is much lower than the sales counts.
