The required eyewear like Pascal says is the killer. They forget the large number of glasses wearers out there, the need to have loads of pairs scattered around the living room, the breaking of them often, the never having enough when the guys come around to watch the game, and the issues of the pictures colours being utterly screwed due to wearing them, and the hassle factor of sitting down and having to look for them just to watch the news.

It's going to be a costly, and epic failure!

Dude, seriously. You tell us there's a smoking hot model then don't give us a pic?! What's this site coming to?

Pascal Monett, they will most likely either use polarized glasses, or lcd shutters not red/blue. Not only that, but there are also lcd screens with the 3D part built into the screen (no glasses), I've seen one myself demo'd in person

Oh, so all this 3D hoopla is just watching a screen with those icky, annoying blue-and-red glasses ?

Count me out, then. I'll pass on this fad and laugh in 2020 when it is part of the "lamest ideas of last decade" lists.

Games are already 3D...the problem is that we have a 3D world displayed on a 2D screen and because we are viewing a 2D screen we lose the 3D reality due to the way our eyes work.

Try playing/viewing games with 1 eye shut....yup...true 3D gaming at it's finest, but it can get tiring on 1 eye very quickly.

As Jason mentioned we essentially need at least TWICE the power of current graphics cards in order to provide 3D at the framerates we are accustomed to (and not to mention some way of viewing it 3D Glasses/headsets/etc).

Nice~

I'm only guessing at what Lefty means, since he only posted 3 words total.

When you play a lot of games today, they're basically a 3d simulately environment shown on a 2d screen. So, just like in the real world, if you want 3d, you just need 2 cameras and twice as much processing oomph. So whatever detail I'm used to in WOW, I simply need twice as much video card oomph, plus the glasses and the monitor, in order to play WOW in 3d.

This goes for ALL the games out there that are simulated 3d environments, all the way back to Wolfenstein.

...please.

Please post again because I get off when I read the word 'shit' typed repeatedly. MAybe type in all caps and write about fire like SHOUTER did.

I can wait not for 3D TV, boy oh, boy oh, boy oh, boy oh, boy I can wait not/

I will throw out my shitty barely improved shit LCD screens for with the shitty piss poor 60hz refresh rates, input lag, lag lag lag lag lag, slow ass shit response rates, because 3D TV will have changed all that for sure by now..surely it must have improved and is much faster, much better resolutions like 1920x1200, and not like those average consumer shit tv pc widescreens with shitty lower resolutions. And only 1 native resolution allowed bullshit.

Oh boy oh boy, 3D TV it must be amazingly new and improved, not some cheap shit gimmick for fucking noobs at all!

I'll buy a new pc screen when I find one 24" 1920x1200 120hz CRT response and refresh rates like 0.*ms, zero input lag etc

I AM SO HOT FOR THIS TECH YOU CANNOT BELIEVE IT!
I AM PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE MY EXISTING FLAT SCREENS TO THE BACK YARD AND BURN THEM IN A BONFIRE.
DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY RONALD REAGAN MOVIES WERE MADE IN 3D??? PANT PANT!
