Re: offtopic: Football games in 3D.. BE EXCITED
For 3D NFL to work, the broadcasts will have to be in 3D. I think the 2D-to-3D conversion used in the Samsungs is actually pretty good, but I don't think it will work well on football. Then it's up to the quality of the 3D TVs to make it enjoyable. The active-shutter glasses better eliminate left-eye/right-eye crosstalk completely. The passive glasses will solve that problem, but the resolution will be halved.
I saw 3D TVs for the first time at CES in January and came away underwhelmed. Then I saw the Samsungs in stores and was much more impressed...which wasn't hard considering my lowered expectations. The technology genuinely has a good chance to succeed and not be relegated as a gimmick, but the industry cannot mess up their opportunity which is now.
Regards,
Chris
