Question by Tofu: How much do we know about the future of 3d tv’s?
Whats down the road? Is it gonna survive with such little content available right now? Is it wiser to wait and see either a price drop or a sans glasses solution? Is there any reality to the attachment to make normal tv’s 3d? I want to adopt 3d so bad, but so far its lookin like HD DVD…

1. What’s down the road? The high-priced sets now on the market will get cheaper. Other manufacturers besides Samsung and Panasonic will be marketing 3D sets. Sooner or later (mainly later), some company will come up with an outboard active-shutter adapter that will permit full 3D on a 2D set with the right features. And way down the road…some type of entirely new multidimensional display that might permit 3D without glasses.
2. Is is gonna survive with minimal content? Probably, but added content will be slow in coming. In requires entirely new video productions with dual-lens cameras and all the technology necessary to get that dual image to your active-shutter TV. It’s a huge investment and not every channel or network will have the resources to make it happen fast.
3. Is it wiser to wait for a price drop or sans-glasses? Prices will surely drop in time, and maybe a lot. As for sans-glasses, that will be a very, very long wait.
4. Will an attachment work? There are some gadgets that *simulate* 3D, and some say they look pretty good. But simulated 3D is not true 3D. You can’t get true 3d (not yet, anyway) without two discrete images, one for each eye. That gets you back to the dual-lens issue in question #2.
