3D technology was the biggest new trend of the 2010 CES event, and the creation of new glasses and digital 3D has certainly made the experience a more enjoyable one. Despite the advances, prominent eye experts has said that 3D tech may still lead to headaches for many users, and they should have their eyes checked first before investing in 3D HDTVs or other tech.

Only children watch cartoons so 3D there is out for me. 3D just has too many issues even today they have been trying to make this work since the 50?s and it bombs every time. I doubt that using a 3D TV in simulated 2D is going to work for those with 3D issues i.e., Epileptics as they will still have the same issues to view 2D on a 3D TV as you are still watching a stereo signal just with the same image on each field. As the doctor states here that would still present a problem and if they forced everyone to buys these they most certainly would be sued by those going into seizures. The no-glasses 3D TV?s are only good if you are in the sweet spot, perfect viewing angle and distance, and having a TV or monitor that I always have to watch with glasses isn?t going to work for most people either. So I think this is just a new cycle of a very old fade at least until they truly perfect the technology.

This sounds like the anti-colorization arguement.
If you don't like colorized B/W films, then turn the color down on your TV.
If you don't want to watch a 3D program and that's the only way it is broadcast, then only watch one frame.
Nobody is going to force you or anyone else to watch 3D.
You may have to buy a 3D tv if that's all that is available, but it turns out the increase in cost to add this feature is nearly nil. That's why they'll all have it.
Speaking of 3d Technology, has anyone seen THIS website:

THIS is awesome!! I tried the drivers on Fallout 3, and the effect was quite intense... You DO need the red/blue 3d glasses, however, but it looked awesome. For some reason, I couldn't lock the settings down completely, but there were many times I was blown away!!
For those asking, the drivers are FREE, I think for a 30 day trial period (maybe longer for the true anaglyph images). It works with games like Bioshock, Fallout 3, Black And White 2, nearly ALL the Call Of Duty games, Devil May Cry 3 and 4, Crysis, F.E.A.R., Far Cry, Flatout 1 and 2, Grand Theft Auto 4 & San Andreas, Half Life 2, Halo, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, and the list goes ON and ON. If you have the glasses, I HIGHLY recommend you at least try it out for 30 days...
so we have had this crap from 60 years ago... and they only just realised why it was dumped in the first place.. wow.. thy must really get their billions per buck.
do yu really want to sit at home looking like a total twat to watch a 3d mpvie.... didn't think so...
This may have be well accepted in my 20s when all I did was work a nickle-n-dime job and watch tv but in my late 30s where everything is a rat race and building businesses/careers is the epitome, this would be a total waste of time as I only watch tv a couple of times a week ...
i was watching the news the otherday and we are expected to receive tvs in march in australia with a built in 3D option but you will still need 3D glasses.
