Mostly OT 3D television is going to be huge, driving growth for years, imo. 3D TV has a looong way to go for mass adoption. I replaced a flat screen TV recently and I saw all these 3D sets for sale, but IMHO it's all complete crap. I can survive watching a movie or two a year in IMAX 3D and even then it's not great for my eyes, but I'd never watch current quality 3D every day on a TV. It's a pain and almost no gain. And I have friends who feel even worse and have headaches after a single 3D movie. Sorry, maybe I'll be a huge tech-laggard, but IMHO really watchable 3D is another 8-10 years away, since the current technology (as I understand it) is not easy to evolutionary improve to get rid of its shortcomings: eyeglasses, limited FOV, blurriness, eye irritation, etc. Unless I am wrong, the technology has to change quite completely to fix all these issues. BTW, even though I bought my previous flat screen TVs at mortar stores, this time I went Amazon for cheapest price. Mortar stores only have a chance if politicos gonna make Amazon charge state taxes and even then I'm not sure.
