Those LED backlit tvs are great.....still kind of pricey but with the 240 hz
refresh rate they have really advanced the picture quality. I was seriously
considering one but found a great Panasonic plasma on clearance.
I also recently purchased a new hp laptop after my old one gave up the ghost.
It has LED backlit AND has a blu-ray player in it......lovin' it!

I've been looking at 3D myself and I think it's still a couple of years away
until they have the technology sorted out. There are many glitches that they
have to work out and the glasses can be way expensive.
I think I'm going to try for a backlit LED for now and get the 3D TV in a
couple of years. I saw the Sanyo backlit LED and the blacks are great and with
the 240HZ model, playing games is awesome.

You make some valid points, although obviously the new 3D technology being
shown on the big screen in the theaters is far superior to anything ever done
before -- so I believe that actually will be the "future" of theatrical film
releases, with most new films being released in 3D within the next 3 to 6
years. But as for the home theater screen, I'm more inclined to go with your
evaluation. The 3D effect really *needs* the big theater screen to have serious
visual impact. Yes, you could get a 3D effect on your 50" to 60" inch home
screen, but unless you sat up way too close, it won't be anywhere near as
impressive as it is at the theater.
But since all most new films will shortly be released in 3D, I'm sure they will
try to sell it to us as a "must have" for the home. But I personally will wait
until my current 52" screen dies and only then consider buying a 3D set -- and
only then if it isn't going to cost much more than a comparable non-3D set.
Younger people may go ga-ga over the whole 3D hype, however. They've been
trying to get all of us to toss out all our old DVDs and buy Blue-Ray version
for a couple of years now, but that doesn't really seem to be working for them
the way they thought it would. So 3D will have to be the next thing they will
have to hype to get us to purchase all-new everything.

Hi Michael- Thanks for linking this. Its funny that this dates from the
mid-1920's.
Recently, I was the market for a new television. I finally settled on a
plasma. Along the way in doing my research on them,
I discovered that the "next big thing" (according to Samsung, Toshiba, etc.) is
3D Television. At last week's Consumer Electronics Show
which kind of is the pulse of the electronics industry, many of the big
manufacturers were touting this as a revolution that consumers
will be flocking to and abandoning their recently bought HD tvs and embracing
this "new technology". What a load of b.s. ! Attempts at
selling the public on 3D have obviously been tried for generations. Heck,
even the 3 Stooges made a stab at 3D in the 50's!
Besides, who wants to put on those goofy glasses everytime you sit down to
watch a show or movie in your own living room.
best,
Steve
