I can’t wait for the day when someone says to me “I got one of those new 3D TVs”. What’s crazy is that they “supposedly already exist”. In fact, I’ve seen about 10 different companies claiming that they’ve already manufactured a 3D TV. I’ve talked with a few businesses that also have full 3D holographic displays like you’d see in Star Wars. However, it seems perfectly possible that you’d see one of these TVs at a trade show, but until they have at least one 3D TV Channel, you won’t be seeing these TVs at Best Buy.

Check out this quote from the Texas Instruments DLP 3D TV site:

Turn on your new 3-D DLP® HDTV, slide on your active 3-D glasses, and watch the images jump off the high definition screen and into your home theatre. The extreme speed of the DLP® chip, combined with 3-D technology, makes it all possible.

Again, I can’t stress enough how the glasses are going to HAVE TO GO AWAY for these TVs to proliferate into the home. However, those who have a home theatre setup with the full surround sound may dig into the early “3D glasses” model.

Anyways, DLP is a fantastic technology and will probably be at the forefront of this consumer 3D technology. We’ll keep an eye on it. At least their website is dope and gives us hope it will arrive sooner than later – check it out:
