Yes. Thats right. And in fact some of the latest tvs' are already programed to accept that new upgrade of 3d that will be taking place . "Im not sure when its coming but its coming" said the sales dude when asking him in reply to his informing me the cool features of a tele my partner was asking about. We did not buy it , The tv that is. But i certainly believe what he was telling us to be true. Technology has been like a magic porrige pot. One that cant be told to stop. Side: yes

In the past, the only way to view something in 3D was to go to the movies. 3D TV gives consumers the option to enjoy this format of viewing from the comfort of home. For students, this type of TV format can be good with educational programs. Homework will never be the same again. History, geography and nature studies may keep the attention of those who might find these topics boring or uninteresting. Side: yes
For gamers, 3D TV may add a new dimension to their playing experience. Next generation console systems like the PlayStation 3 are planning to integrate this format into some future titles. It will be one step closer to actually viewing in a virtual reality style environment. Side: yes
Another advantage of 3D TV is that it can be used with Connected TV, which is a two way communication style technology that can allow streaming of videos from the Internet (like YouTube) for viewing purposes. Using the combination of Connected TV and 3D TV will also allow the opportunity for families to spend virtual time together with the use of 3D webcams. Side: yes

No I don't think so. You would need to have some sort of emitter of light that allows light to pass through it otherwise it would just be a 6 sided 2 dimensional television. Imagine looking at cross section of this hypothetical television. The 'O' emitters would be able to send information to an observer, but the 'X' emitters would be blocked. OOOOOOOOOOO OXXXXXXXXXXXO OXXXXXXXXXXXO OXXXXXXXXXXXO OXXXXXXXXXXXO OXXXXXXXXXXXO OOOOOOOOOOO As you can see all we have are 6 2-dimensional screens. Side: No

No, at least not in the form they are now. Currently, you need to wear special, often bulky, and often expensive glasses to view the 3D, like anyone who went and saw Avatar or any of the other recent 3d movies. People with glasses find them extra uncomfortable. I do no think that this is the way to go, nor will it kick off if you have to shell out money for glasses for each person that might want to watch your TV Side: No
roadcast 3D will not be in HD. Way too much bandwidth needed. Only BD movies in 3D will be HD. If you want to have the guys over to watch the Superbowl in 3D you'll need to spring for lots of glasses at $50-$75 bucks a piece. Not only will you need a new TV but a new media player as well as your current BD player will not handle the new 3D format. Side: No
Although the idea of 3D TV is promising, there are some concerns and disadvantages. Viewing in 3D is a problem for about 10 percent of people. For those with astigmatism, it is difficult to detect the depth of the images being viewed. Others may experience other types of eye strain. Since 3D television is so new, the long term effects of its use are still unknown Side: No
Currently, this type of TV can only be seen properly with special glasses. While producers of these TVs may provide a couple of pairs, it may not be enough if you have a large group of people. Also, in addition to the glasses, 3D television has to be viewed while sitting directly in front of the set. Wide angle viewing is not possible. Side: No
Cost is another factor of 3D TV. As with any new technology, the price to purchase one of these sets is expensive. As of 2010, consumers can expect to pay 9 to 12 thousand dollars. Another expense is the cable wiring. You will need to have it changed to the special HDMI 1.4 cables that are required to view this type of format. During this economic downturn, the average consumer will not be able to afford the cost for these items. Side: No
