Where is my affordable OLED TV?

Actually whatever happened to OLED?  Think I may have to google it, never hear anything about OLED anymore :(

No, the thing is different. When people know that the only way to see a 3D movie is glasses, they'll buy a 3D TV, earlier or later. BUT if people know that it is a possibility of watching 3D without glasses and much cheaper they'll just think - 'hey, why should i pay 5000 USD for the TV which is ALREADY outfated?' Ordinary people will not be deep in technology, they'll just compare

Watch 3D now:

5000 USD on a big TV with glasses      OR               250 USD on a HANDHELD without glasses.

How'd you think what'll ORDINARY consumer prefer?

3DS will not be competing with 3dTVsets, but it will be slowing sales of 3DTVwith Glasses until glassless technology appear...

Even smarter and more undercutting, Nintendo before the launch of the 3DS should be holding contractual talks with Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube via Google for subscription services for the 3DS. This way purchasers of the 3DS can watch what their movies and tv shows along with the option of 3D movies because we know the 3DS will not have a blu ray or dvd player.

Yes the 3DS is a threat to 3D TV's but not as a direct competitor.

Imagine this situation.

Next christmas, the prices of 3D TV's are fairly cheap. Your average family might be thinking of buying one with more content and cheaper prices. Now what is the main downfall of 3D? The glasses.

I don't care what anyone says, the glasses ARE a major sticking point for this new, sudden push for old tech. I will often be doing something else while watching tv and I don't think I'll ever want to wear those glasses while on my laptop or doing dishes or playing poker with the football on in the background.........

See the problem?

The glasses.

Now back to our family who are thinking about getting a 3D TV......

As Mr and Mrs Average are eating christmas dinner and discussing wheather or not to pick up a 3D TV in the January sales, little Johnny and his friends are making quite a bit of noise playing with one of his new presents. They wander over and he shows them what all the noise is about. 3D! No Glasses.

Now going on the fact that most people out there aren't too up to date with technology, they will surely assume that this amazing little device will lead to a similar display on a TV very soon.

Bang! There goes another sale of a 3D with those stupid glasses.

Two things don't have to perform the same function to be competitors.

If I woke up and saw kids playing with brand new hover-boards tomorrow I sure as hell would put off buying a new car!

Yeah! And then the tiny screen of 400x240 will be an advantage for customers with not-so-wide internet connection... ;)

And the other thing which still frightening me is how can N keep such a strong 3rd party support with ready tech demoes in secret before E3??? I understand keeping secrets inside company - but when so much companies keeping secret together - that is something strange for this industry...

yes, that just like the other portable contract's with other portable viewer's that have set the market on fire.over Home theatre!

Look while i think the 3DS is great and All it's not going to slow the adoption of the Home theatre 3D Market in any real signifcant way, because the Home theatre Market is on a whole market all together!. right now none of the CE companies is investing heavly in Glassless 3D to be brought to the market Quickly because they know the Prices point is not pratical not just for them but also the Consumer.

HD is currently 1080p being the best HD standard, which many New HDTv's have gone to with pretty good pricing right now, but that took 3 year's for that to happen. to get a glassless 1080p resolution 3D it's going to need a 4k resolution screen!

That's not going to be cheap, Hell even a 32" Glassless is more Expensive than the same Glasses Based 3D Lcd. because you can up the refresh rate, While Glassless requires modification to the whole screen itself.

the 3DS is just not going to have the effect that I see many have in this thread as putting a big dent in the sales of 3D without Glasses.For one many more LCD screen manuf. that just Nintendo which does not make screen's at all.

for one Even Before the 3DS even get's released the 3D LCD active shutter's system's are already being displayed and viewable for consumer's right now.The fact that also many Sport's from TV networks will be broadcast in 3D along with HD..there is going to be a 3D Discovery Ch. with other station's soon to follow with dedicated 3D station's of their own.

While I think the 3DS will be great, I do not Think it's effect on the Home theatre Market will be that profound.

According to Back to the Future, when Marty travels to the future in June 2010 we already have hover-boards... I guess you didn't get your pre-order in?

yup those are going to be sleeping for quite some time, hey why is'nt glassless 3D HDTV screen's not

here yet..because their not cheap enough yet...sleep's for another 3 year's..how about now?

goes back to sleep when they still find out it's still over $6,500.00..meanwhile many people are still enjoyoing 3D content for the Past 3 year's on Active Shutter home theatre system's.

yes people like to spend less for good things but they don't want a  small experience wither if they are looking for a big one

so they don't directly interfere
