I understand that the potential for 3DTVs relies on early adopters. It will be cool, but I am going to wait for new 3DTVs which don't require special glasses.

I don't know how that would work, unless you have special contact lenses. A TV that shows 3D only if viewed from "this line in the middle of it" is not going to work.


they already exist.

they are just very expensive.

Kowenicki is right, Phillips already offer solution to marketers who wanna use 3D displays to market stuff in store. Those displays that offer true 3D as seen with shutter glasses cost more than 10 K a piece. Not to be mixed with parallax barrier tech (samsung, sharp) that are cheap but far from being impressive.

so what kind of time line are we looking at?  i mean, i would prefer a non-glasses 3D TV but if i have to wait 10 years,...fuck it.  I want 3D now!

I have heard many times by professional in the industry, that it will take at least 10 years. Not only because of the TV price but because you need new type of media to work with it. To have an HD picture on those glassless 3D display you need a resolution of 3840*2160 = 8.29 million pixels. Advertisers who use Phillips display need to specifically create media to work on it. Can you imagine a game machine that will push those type of resolution lol. Here its taken from Phillips website (I want to repeat that phillips are the only one able to do real glassless 3D (see the tech below, its not easy), rest is nothing compare to LCD shutter glasses 3D):

  • The 56-inch QFHD 3D Display is based on an LCD panel resolution of Quad full HD (3840*2160 = 8.29 million pixels). This results in a stunning perceived 3D resolution of HD quality.

 

  • Based on a new rendering technique, the 56-inch QFHD 3D Display creates 46 views (my addition to help understand: out of those 46 views you have 23 created for each eye, depending on your angle from the TV each eye will catch one of those 23 views) and has a large 3D comfort zone. The optimal viewing distance (ranging from 2 to 5 meter) can be adjusted on customer request.

 

  • The 56-inch QFHD 3D Display has a 3D viewing angle of 160 degrees.

 

The 56-inch QFHD 3D Display is commercially available on customer request in large scale projects. (you can buy one at the moment if you want but you will not have proper media to work with it)

Hope this help to understand glassless 3D!
