Meh... once or twice a year the 3DTV hype cycle unveils some new device that's supposedly going to break the industry wide open, and it always is underwhelming & disappears within 6 months. This has been happening for over 20 years now.

To really get quality sellable 3D going you'd have to have all films/programming conceive & write their content with 3D in mind, have it explicitly produced & filmed for such, and have delivery mechanisms that are easy, convenient & don't suck. This is a long long way from happening.

Thing is, even the major motion picture companies haven't figured it out in the theater. The glasses dim & dull the picture, you basically sacrifice a ton of image clarity for the illusion of depth, usually in action scenes that are too chaotic and quick-cutting to fully utiliize that feature. Majority of 3D movies I see, end up wishing I'd just watched them in 2D instead - until a multi-billion $$$ industry manages to put out a quality 3D product, I won't hold my breath for it at home.

On top of that it's not like the consumer is clamoring for 3D. A great show or movie is a great show or movie even in 2D, who watches & says "that was really good but it could've used an extra dimension in there"? There's a reason why in photography 3D holograms aren't in high demand despite being possible for many decades - once the novelty factor's worn off, 2D serves the purpose for 99.999% of the population.

So yeah, quality home 3D isn't happening anytime soon.

And that, ladies & germs, is my
