The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 11 September, 2010
According to a new consumer study by Nielsen, users who have experienced 3D HDTVs, ones that require special glasses, are less interested in buying a 3D set than those that have not.
"It's a marketing challenge," adds Frank Stagliano, Nielsen's general manager of TV Primary Research.
The report, titled "Focusing on the 3DTV Experience," is the "first professional study of a group that ... [ read the full article ]

I checked out one of these 3D TV's at a local big box store they had on display. It was OK, but it reminded me of the 3D movies I watched as a kid in the 50's. At least the glasses aren't made of cardboard and colored cellophane anymore. I wouldn't considering buying one of these.

Why wouldn't they make universal glasses that work with all 3D TV's?
I'm new to this, but why do they only work with the brand you purchase them with? Are they wired or something?

It's not "a marketing challenge"...it's called a marketing GIMMICK! TV manufacturers wanted more people to buy new TVs and the only way to try getting people who've already had HDTV for a few years to consider a new one was to offer stuff like 3D.

The really funny part of this story is that when shown 3D in action less people said they were interested in it!
So, show off 3D to the general public so they get a good 1st hand look at it and the response is they turn off to it.
I just wonder why they are bothering, most of what we watch on our TVs is best watched in 2D anyways.

I remember reading in Popular Science Magazine decades ago that hologram TV's would obsolete regular CRT Screens. Here's an article from TVPrediction.com in 2007 that talks about the technology. We can send robots to Mars, but can't figure out 3D TV without glasses, or bring hologram TV to market.

Yeah that was a no brainer. If you buy one of these sets expect there to be little out for them as they are going to be a big FAIL.
Just my $0.02,

This is all good.
This technology is in its infancy. They will need to fight over a standard once it is set then it will be ready for prime time. Most person would prefer good 3-D without the glasses. I think would probably prefer good with glasses vs poor without. I don't like to multitask if I am watching a movie.

Toshi's working on a 3d telly that works without glasses anyway.
Similar to the tech that will be used on the DS2.
Remains to be seen whether it has to be seen from a sweet-spot in the room to work.
Its a lot easier being righteous than right.

Does it require a sweet spot in the room to view it from? i.e. what is the viewing angle?

Ok, from what I've Googled the viewing angle is from 15-30 degrees and the sets are 800p. The Ninty 3DS has to be looked at straight on and I'm willing to bet the actual viewing angle is only 15 deg for the Toshies.
And they'll cost a lot.
However, there is reduced eyestrain and the picture is brighter apparently.
I reckon we're gonna have to wait a few years for it to get better.
I've read that you have to wear those stupid glasses to even watch 2d on those other sets.
