Originally Posted By basil fan Just read an artivle on the new 3-D TVs. Seems they are in the works, with several caveats: They will be MEGA EXPENSIVE, at least at first.

There will be very little 3-D programming, as it is difficult and expensive to make. Of course, some films already exist in 3-D. Now, I don't know any of this first-hand, I'm just repeating what the article said.

The article further said that a non-glasses system was in development, but you'd have to sit only in certain "sweet spots" in your living room to see it. Now that, I thought, sounded ridiculous.
