Nintendo has introduced a new technology that I believe will, eventually, replace Hi Definition televisions of today. They have come up with a way to make their Nintendo 3DS in 3D without the need to wear the glasses. Besides not having to wear those dorky glasses anymore, another benefit to having a 3D TV will be that it won't matter where in the room you sit to watch the television you will still be able to see it in 3D as if you were sitting in front of it. A barrier is used on the screens creating stereoscopic effect that is unique for each eye as each one views things differently. Only thing is you need to take breaks every hour, which should be done anyways, to be sure you don't get headaches or motion sickness, - so, those all night marathons wouldn't be as much fun I'm sure. I'm not sure I'd want a 3D TV all the time though, it is neat in the theaters, but having things jump out at you when you are just walking by the television might scare the mess out of someone, would be a good laugh though.

I don't think I want a 3D TV. I get a little motion sick watching certain things on my regular HDTV!
