Seriously, is 3D TV any good or just the latest gimmick to get me to buy new crap?
in our early opinion, informed by the limited demos we’ve seen, the new 3D TV technology seen under the right conditions can be very impressive and definitely delivers a “wow” factor that will appeal to fans of immersive home theater, gamers, and other early adopters. Aside from screen size, the experience is very similar to what you’ll see at the theater. But that screen size difference is huge, and final versions of 3D TVs shipping later this year might perform differently from demos. And we have no idea how home viewing conditions like ambient light, seating distance, viewing angle, and other factors, which figure less prominently into the theater experience, affect 3D in the home. Finally, when evaluating whether 3D TV is “any good,” it’s worth drawing attention again to the many issues described above and elsewhere. And of course, like any new technology (or product for that matter), 3D is in essence intended to get you to buy more stuff. Years of underwhelming 3D implementations
