Throw Out Your HDTVs, v2: Attack Of The 3-D Content!

Bruce A Johnson | 03/25

C’mon. Really.

HDTV penetration in the US hasn’t even got close to the 50% point yet, and already the consumer electronics manufacturers are trying to replace your TV set - AGAIN.

This article from Broadcast Engineering Magazine is entitled:

Consumers warm to idea of 3-D TV in the home, report says

FTA:

“More than half of U.S. adults said having to wear special 3-D glasses or having to hold their heads still to enjoy 3-D TV would not dissuade them from buying a 3-D set for their homes, the study said.”

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a more “believe-it-when-I-see-it” statement in my life. The craven, money-grubbing attitude of the Consumer Electronics Association never ceases to amaze me. It is apparent that they are not happy enough with obsoleting 500 million NTSC TVs - no, in their universe it is time to switch AGAIN.

What do you think?

I don’t think you need a special TV to view 3-D content, you just need a special rig to shoot it. Modern HDTVs are perfectly capable of displaying it.
That was demonstrated already at this year’s SuperB.

Yet more fluff to get in the way of writing a good script and shooting well.

I’ll also add that i’m not ready for 3D until a decent totally reliable long term archive storage for the tapeless age comes about. With 3D comes the need to store twice as much data.

It was a beneficial workout for me to go through your webpage. It definitely stretches the limits with the mind when you go through very good info and make an effort to interpret it properly. I am going to glance up this web site usually on my PC. Thanks for sharing
