"If you are going to need to wear glasses to enjoy the 3D experience,

For games and commercial/military apps, I think so.
" I still remember watching a demo in a Texas Instruments theater at
CES, showing off the latest High Definition DLP chips. The video was
shot in 1080P and was spectacular - it had a real 3D quality without
any manipulation of the source or the display. I am beginning to see
something similar in the new generation of large LED backlit panel
displays with high refresh rates.
Looks to me like there is still a lot of work yet to be done to bring
REAL HDTV to the masses. 3D seems like more of a distraction.
Personally I would much prefer to see 1080@ 72P acquisition and display."
I tend to agree. Quality 2D HD content to the consumer (whether it be shiny
disc, Internet, Terrestrial, Cable or Sat) looks excellent on a good display
at normal viewing distances.

"3D would seem to be a natural way to add value to the movie theater
experience."
Agree.
One can also imagine that 3D games will find an eager audience among
the gamers who are willing to pay thousands for the fastest PC or a
new game console.
But can anyone here even imagine most of the stuff we now watch on TV
being produced in 3D?
