So basically wrong time for this. I don't fancy having to have 3d glasses all over the show. For me anyway 3d is for going out to not an everyday thing
Ah you said that about colour in the 70s! You said that the news was more convincing in monochrome and that Andy Pandy's stripes were better defined in the contrast of black and white.

Now look at ya! All wide-screened and HDed up with your fancy surround sound. Another couple of years and you'll be walking down the High Street with your Virtual Reality goggles on! Actually, knowing you, you'll be virtually walking down the virtual High Street from the comfort of your armchair.


I agree with you that it's too soon for 3D with many people still getting used to the idea of wide-screen and digital TV (in non-woodgrain effect cabinets). Many will be waiting a lot longer before considering HD.

There is a small minority that might fork out their hard-earned on 3D TV but in the current economic climate it's hardly a good time for the public or the broadcasters to be investing in expensive niche technology.

The Sky equivalent of a concept car perhaps.
