    I've seen the TVs they try to sell at Target. This man is a hero.

    On Black Friday, I went to Best Buy to pick up Zack and Miri make a Porno. I also whipped out my TV-B-Gone and attacked their wall of TVs. They looked so confused, and I decided to stop before they kicked me out and I couldn't get my DVD.

    @GitEmSteveDave_DefinesTurgid: Have you noticed how all the newer DVDs of that leave out "make a porno"?

    That very first sentence makes me wonder how this happened. A CHICAGO man walked into a MINNESOTA Target. If he wasn't competent enough to know that BREAK STORE BAD! then I wonder if someone brought him there?

    You know, I have the TV in the picture, but mine doesn't send out that weird blue horizontal light from beneath the picture. Ripped off or bullet dodged?

    In reply to Sony Says Up to Half Its HDTVs Will be 3D in 2012
    I know HDTV's are flat and all, but they are all three dimensional, aren't they?

    I still think this concept of everyone wanting to sit around watching TV with special glasses is ridiculous. I experienced a number of the 3D movies this summer in both formats and (for me) all of them were a more enjoyable experience without the glasses. I am not saying the extra dimension did not add an extra element, but they are uncomfortable to wear for an entire movie. The troublesome short versions of me ended up watching half the movie without the glasses because they were annoying for a couple of the movies. All of which is to say - I just have a tough time imagining an entire family sitting in front of a TV every night with 3D glasses on.

    @SewerShark: That makes two of us.

    This is a dumb gimmick. Until someone does it correctly, and I have yet to see a company even come close, I won't be adopting this technology.

    My eyes are fucked up enough.

    @SewerShark: LOOK BEHIND YOU, A THREE HEADED MONKEY!!!: Agreed. 3D is worthless to me. TV manufacturers are now loading up their TVs with pointless gadgets since they've already hit a price/size equilibrium.

    @TFXR: I think you're right. And it pisses me off. I would rather have manufactures invest in making quality TV''s with better picture quality and better lifespans than investing money in dumb gimmicks.

    I'll tell a better quality, longer lasting TV over a 3D one any day.

    In other news, analysts recently released a report estimating that up to half of all people who will buy Sony HDTVs in 2012 will overpay for their TVs and gain little value.

    TV makers need to find ways to keep margins high and 3D is going to be the next big way to mark up TVs. I think it would be awesome for videogames but I think people will pass on it for TV.

    Am I the only person here who thinks this should/will FAIL? I really don't like 3D and the eye strain it entails.

    Thanks but no thanks, you may keep your gimmicks.

    @Noobs-R-Us: Have you tried the 3D Vision version of this? I'm half blind in one eye and can play a game hours on in and still have yet to have any eye strain. These aren't the cheap red and blue glasses of yesteryear when you couldn't even see color in the movie or game using the red and blue glasses.

    In reply to Pixel Qi Dual-Mode LCD Ships Next Month; $100, 10-Watt HDTV Up Next
    I have an OLPC XO-1 and while the viewing angle is poor just due to the way the back of the screen reflects light at too perfect an angle instead of diffusing it, in ambient light it's great, and I'm sure they've improved a lot since the model I have.

    The method for generating color images with a diffraction grating and backlight is also brilliant, and while it makes the image look a bit fuzzy, it's not bad at all, especially for a low cost device. Mary-Lou Jepsen is pretty brilliant and hard working from what I've seen in interviews, and I'm sure their product will do what they say.

    That said, I'm loving the Sony PRS-505 reader I just got because I was tired of waiting for Pixel Qi to release something, but these screens can surely shake up the fledgling e-paper market.
