Coming soon - home 3-D

I remember, as a kid, being amazed that my grandfather despised color TV. He used the color adjustments to change his set back to black and white - claiming that color gave him a headache.

I feel the same way about 3-D movies - the notion of beer cans flying off the screen distracts me from the movie itself. Of course, with most 3-D movies that can be a good thing - the real star is the technology, not the script or acting in most cases.

But it’s inevitable that 3-D will come to the home screen - you’ll have the option of watching programming at home in 3D. In fact, the first set - Samsung’s 56-inch HL-T5689S, priced at $2,799 - is already available.

Don’t get too excited though. Right now it can only be used with 3-D video games. But it’s a pioneer product and, maybe as soon as the next year, there will be DVDs available in 3-D. I’ll pass. But you might be interested.

You can read more about it in this story - the part about the 3-D TV is near the bottom. The story is about new technologies so the whole thing is worth reading.
