There is nothing different this time. You still need glasses!Now, the human eye doesn't naturally zoom; but all that in-your-face 3d content is full of camera zooms and stuff flying at you. Very un-natural and will produce plenty of headaches.. Sorry no 3d for me!Also, I would have to replace all my current hardware.. No thanks. I would have to buy all new content that is of questionable quality to begin with. No thanks. I have to get glasses for everybody.. no thanks!Bad enough we all had to switch to blu ray and hd and stuff like that. I am *not* switching again!The industry will have to be more innovative! This is just like the Gateway Destination PC/TV combo of the mid 90's. A big failure! They tried this so many times in the past and have failed. There is nothing different this time.

They cannot create much interesting in 2D. The shows won't improve just because they can now throw things at me. I’ve zero interest in 3D on my television. They cannot create much interesting in 2D.
