Sony Promises 3D BRAVIA LCD HDTV For 2010

It's unavoidable: 3D is the next big thing in television, whether youbelieve it or not. With 1080p panels losing their luster in terms ofnovelty, there's hardly any other feature that TV makers can add toentice you to upgrade. Besides, our current cable and fiber systemscan't even deliver content en masse at a resolution above 1080p, so theadvent of 3D is just the next logical step in upping the game.

As with Panasonic, Sony is looking to drive the commercialization of 3Dto the home during the course of 2010, with a lineup of BRAVIA HDTVs topack 1080p 3D capabilities and a big question mark surrounding howexactly the content will follow the hardware. Sony's hoping to ride thewave of popularity already taking off in 3D cinema in order to getpeople interested in a 3D LCD HDTV next year, complete withactive-shutter glasses and support for 3D games/flicks that'll beplayed back in the company's own PlayStation 3.


Just in case you glossed over that, you should know that Sony's hopingto add 3D capabilities to many of its other products including the PS3,VAIO wares, etc. Details beyond that are few and far between, but it'seasy to understand that most of this is just wishful thinking at thispoint. Once we see Blu-ray Discs shipping everywhere with a 3D versiononboard, then we'll really believe that in-home 3D has a chance. It'sall about the content, guys!
