[Randy]

A full-fledged 3-D television turf war is brewing in the United States, as manufacturers unveil sets capable of 3-D and cable programmers rush to create new channels for them.

I've heard about this for a while, but it's always nice to see that it is becoming more a reality.

Oh, yeah I heard about this on attack of the show. Sounds awsome.

They had a week of 3D shows on Channel 4 in November I think

If they can figure out a way to make it 3D without me having to wear glasses all the time, I would buy one.

Agreed. Although if it's that crappy pop-out 3D, then screw it.

The Avatar 3D movie has done a lot to spark interest in this area. Quality 3D glasses for home viewing are priced at between $100 and $200. However as the technology advances and sells more the prices will drop. I believe that in the next few years we will see lots of living rooms with 3D & Internet enabled TV's.



The strange thing is that although consumer spending has fallen as a result of the recession sales of personal tech gadgets such as iPhones and eReaders have been holding up pretty well.

I also don't like the fact I'd have to wear glasses for it.

Save the 3D for the cinema.
