Is 3D going to be the “next big thing” as far as TV tech is concerned or is it more of a passing fad? I’m kind of leaning towards fad. Make no mistake, the 3D movies I’ve seen in theaters are pretty tight. The TV’s at CES were pretty impressive themselves. Though because of the obvious differences between a projector situated behind you, displaying a picture in front of you and a TV positioned in front of you, displaying an image in a very different manner, pros and cons of each method become apparent. I personally prefer how objects continue to jump “at you” and off the screen on 3D projectors while all of the 3D TV’s I’ve seen so far go flat at the edges of the screen. Such differences I’m sure will be cleared up and the gap narrowed as the tech for 3D TV’s progresses.
For now we’ll have to take what we can get. And finally official tonight, we consumers can finally get in and even download the 3D portion of the HDMI 1.4 specs that were recently finalized. Thanks yous can be sent to HDMI Licensing, LLC for their loosening lips and more sharing nature.
So if you find yourself bored, unable to sleep, and nothing to eat at this late hour of the night (it’s 12:09am here), why not head over to hdmi.org and get acquainted with the new spec?
