Same goes for 3D with glasses. 

Maybe not for home application, but for a large scale theater like 3D effects glasses are the way to go for many years to come.

No one had a problem with 3D and glasses when theaters were doing it...now all of a sudden its a big issue to do the same thing at home. This is because the 3D payoff at home, on a 46 inch screen is not worth looking for 3D glasses, let alone wearing them for a few hours at a time.

 


No, people have problems with it in theaters too.  Those glasses suck and somehow just atract scratches and smudges without ever being touched.  On top of that, they are just horrible uncomfortable in every way imagineable, especially if you already wear glasses.

3D glasses at home sucks because the glasses are just so expensive and the reasons you said.  I have a friend that actually has a 3D TV but has never used the 3D because he just can't afford the glasses (he only got the 3D TV becaue it was on sale and happened to be as much as a normal TV for the same size).


Well 3D is not meant for fast food like consumption at this point. Its still a controlled environment technology...People are buying these 3d TVs like burgers from Burger King, and then are wondering why things don't go as planned.

You have to have the right content for the 3D effect(hardest part), it needs to be on a big screen with no crosstalk, and you have to be in the right mood for it.

If those things are in place, glasses or not doesn't matter as much as you think. If those things are not present, its going to be a shit experience, no matter if you're wearing glasses or not. Its only when you're watching a terribly made 3D movie that you have time to bitch about how uncomfortable glasses you're wearing are.

I agree that somewhere down the road, no glasses 3D is going to be the more desired and superior method. But until they are able to perfect technology like this, it won't happen - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0KM8lzRCoQ
