Forget memories of blurry images whilst straining your eyes through flimsy and uncomfortable cardboard glasses - The latest 3D TVs are High Definition and deliver full colour 3D experience in which objects appear to virtually leap out of the screen through one of two display techniques:

1) The majority of latest generation displays incorporate an integral transmitter that works in conjunction with active shutter 3D glasses to consecutively project right eye and left eye images in Full HD (at 2x frame rates). (These transmitters should also be available separately).

2)  There are TVs which don't require glasses for viewing; instead they incorporate minute cylindrical lenses known as lenticules over every pixel of the display.  These lenticules are optimised to allow vision of adjacent pixels to left and right eyes only*.  A quad-HD resolution display can therefore display full HD resolution to left and right eyes, however there is a limitation with this kind of display:  *The viewing angle is very critical in order to see the image in 3D and there are only a limited number of 'sweet spots' where this is possible.  In other words, if you have one of these displays your viewing position will be defined by the TV, not you and the odds are that if you are in a sweet spot watching glorious 3D then the person next to you will be watching 2D as they are not in a sweet spot... 

Suddenly the active shutter spectacles become more appealing to me!

The big question is will viewers be prepared to invest their hard-earned cash and wear headgear in order to experience 3D at home? 

Now I am a home cinema and PS3 enthusiast that relishes watching movies and games on a big screen with full surround sound and I'd probably love the full 3D experience in that context, however I just can't imagine bothering to put specs on to watch every-day television...  Frankly I'd rather have great quality HD content in 2D for the majority of the time with 3D reserved for occasional special interest programmes, games and important sporting events...
