Pinging the HDTV list.. HDTV pings!

I don’t know how this will play out but I keep thinking of the Sam Warner remark “Who the hell wants to hear actors talk??” ! ...

As long as 3-D TV requires you wear special glasses, it will essentially remain a niche product. The push right now should be for almost all TV programming to go to high-definition broadcasting.

I watched 3DTV for the first time yesterday in a Sony store. I think the blinking of the glasses makes everything a little darker, and that really detracts from the, to use the overused word, “experience”.

BTW the TV (46” I think) was about $2800 and the glasses are $150 each.

I don’t even think it’s going to be a niche. They’re incredibly expensive, and because of the glasses there’s no multi-tasking. Most people do stuff while watching TV, but you can’t read or play on the computer with those 3D glasses on.
