Yes, this 3D fad is just a SCAM by the electronics industry to get all of the “suckers” to throw away all of the perfectly fine, BRAND NEW, 1080P, 1.3a HDMI high-def equipment they just got through spending millions upon millions upon MILLIONS of dollars on. In their eyes they think consumers are nothing but walking dollar signs. These fools need to wake up to the reality that their is a world wide recession bordering on a depression going on and consumers are not going to fall for their bait and switch scam any more. They just got through establishing the 1080p/1.3a HDMI high-def standard and now they want to throw it all away and have us buy new 3D 1.4 HDMI crap that is just in it’s embryonic state (the industry hasn’t even worked oput all of the bugs/problems with 1.3a HDMI and now they want to move on from there!) so in another 2 - 3 years they can effectivly say: “You know all of that 3D equipment you bought? It isn’t any good any longer because we have come up with a ‘new and improved’ way do do 3D,,, it is 1.5 HDMI and you need different glasses to enjoy the 3D schlock we want to feed you!”

You ever seen one?
People that I have talked to who have seen the demonstrations at trade shows say that watching a basketball game on one of these is like being on the court with the players. This is a technology that will prove to be exciting for live events as well as movies.
I predict that this will be well adopted by the geek crowd.
I didn’t fall for the “BRAND NEW, 1080P, 1.3a HDMI high-def equipment “. But NOW is the time to upgrade from my 13” B&W tv when the real latest upgrade is available.
Meanwhile us folks squeezing the last bit of life out of their analog-tuned, 4:3 aspect ratio, 19” CRTs will more than gladly pay $120 for a gently used 32” 720p LCD (anything bigger would require more furniture).
Thanks, early adopters!
