3D TV

I was just at Joshin (Japanese electronics store of sorts) and saw some 3D TVs for sale. I checked out one display and used the 3D glasses...it looked crisp, but I actually couldn't tell that it was 3D.


Are these things for sale already in the US, too?

  1. I would be surprised if they weren't, several 3D TV's have been available in Germany for the past few months. I think they started selling those worldwide in late spring.
    I'm surprised that you haven't seen one before in Japan. :)

  2. Ah...yeah, perhaps I'm pretty oblivious. I've HEARD of them, but didn't know if they were in the pipeline or already for sale. I guess if I go to places that sell TVs I normally don't really pay attention to what's available, but today I was a bit more leisurely.

  3. Yeah, they're here. We even sell 'em at my workplace. I tried the glasses out; it's a neat visual, but I can't imagine sitting there wearing glasses/goggles over my regular glasses for an entire show.

  4. Yeah, they're not very comfortable to wear over normal glasses.

  5. When I was in the US in March, the Sony store was selling the 52 or 60 inchers, huge and expensive.
