Wait...major Déjà vu here..isn't this at least the 3rd time they have tried to push stereoscopic 3D onto us?

Mid 90s there was a surge of Nvidia based graphics cards that supported stereo 3D, which everyone thought was amazing until they realised you had to wear a silly pair of glasses if you wanted to play games/watch videos in 3D. Then again in the early 2000s with companies like E-Dimensional. Sure the effects are really very good, but I mean, its not exactly new and I would bet a heck of a lot of money on this not being mainstream.

However..I kind of hope it does, I have a few pairs of stereo 3D glasses lying about that still work, they might go up in value from £0.00

I am very interested in the offering by Phillips though, which doesn't require the use of glasses (the Autostereoscopic displays). Biggest issue that I see with that at the moment is the very poor viewing angles, and the fact that the effect is not as pronounced as with standard stereoscopic display methods, but still the fact they have achieved any 3D at all is impressive

I think this is all a stupid idea and that there is no need for 3D TV.

However my views on this subject are somewhat bias as there is no way that it will work with me and all I will ever get is a blurry image

What if you already wear glasses?
