Guys if you are buying TV then stop stop stop  !! Get Ready for 3D HDTV which will be out by mid of 2010. WOW! We can feel The 3D at our OWN HOUSE .साथी हो संसार कहाँ बाट कहाँ पुग्दै छ , कस्तो अचम्म लाग्छ यार

ESPN plans a 3D channel, Panasonic/DirecTV and Sony/Discovery/IMAX also announced programming plans, and a Blu-ray Disc standard was announced last month

While I understand what you're saying, you're completely ignoring the price factor of such tvs. They won't be cheap, thats for sure!

3D tv will take at least 5 years to be popular and household name. HD tv will go pretty strong by then.   To broadcast in 3 D the videos should be taken by multiple cameras. I doubt there are enough content at the moment in the world to be broadcasted in 3D. People still capture video on 2D. May be they can broadcast for few hours.

Secondly it is bound to be very very expensive because those programs needs to get its production cost.


Thirdly, I see the 3D tv products. Whichever 3D tv product i saw  be it Huyndai  or Sony. Those 3D tv needs special glasses to be seen in 3D. I wonder how many people would want to keep wearing glasses to watch the 3D TV.

Just like any other *on-demand* technology, content delivery mechanism is equally as important as content providers/owners.

Luckily, the Cable system that provides TV signals with Video On Demand or Switched Digital Video is capable of providing 3DTV signals to your home. So the wait time for the technology to come to your home, provided you demand for it, is LESS than you expected!

And as always since it is a technology driven by demand than necessity and due to the popularity of HD technology and the whole avatar buzz, the content providers, cable equipment manufacturers, 3D tech companies and consumer electronics companies would work together with the standard bodies devising standard technologies for distribution of 3D TV over any medium to your home.

The Set Tops that you use at your home are already 3D frame compatibles and the cable bodies are working close for interoperability and specifications to make your "wearing 3D glasses at home" dream a reality pretty soon.

I am an undergraduate student working illegally in gas stations. I have to work day and night for my tuition fee, food and room rent. Hence, I can not afford it. I pass it.

Much of the innovations like these come from exclusive demand from people. If it is cool to have a mini-phone-PC on your palm and revolve your world around it, it is cool to be busy with a 3D experience at home from a harsh day at work too. Anyway, I am not even debating if it is necessary or not or to what age groups and what not.

Here is the research that surveys a bit onto the 3D Market.

If you can wear condom, then why would it be a problem/hassle to wear tha tspecial 3D glasses?????

Those glasses give me headache. So no for me. 

I am Greating Ready for 3DHD LOL

Don't buy 3D TV yet unless you are very rich. It will be very expensive initially.

I agree with donald_duck.
