Philips introducing 52-inch 1080p 3D display
It's no nightmare -- 3D is officially in style. Or it's succeeding in fooling us, one or the other. Further proof that taking things to the third-dimension is all the rage has arrived courtesy of Philips, who has announced its intentions to reveal a 1080p 52-inch 3D display at InfoComm later this month. The unit will utilize the same WOWvx technology showcased a year prior in its 20-inch display, and will feature 700 cd/m2 brightness, a 2,000:1 contrast ratio and an 8-millisecond response time. The auto-stereoscopic display should be "commercially available from Q4 2008 onwards," but we haven't a clue how costly it'll be when it eventually lands.

I really don't understand why display manufacturers are putting the cart before the horse with 3D. There is no industry standard for delivering 3D to the home, so without that there's no reason to buy any of these displays (at least for 3D). We don't even know which if any of them will be compatible with an eventual home 3D standard. Talk about a waste of money.

Displays are where it starts. If there is no way to view 3d content there will be no desire to produce 3d content much less players.
Although on players I believe that BD players are capable of delivering 3d content via hdmi.
Will all of the major animation studios launching 3d movies content will be there soon.
Right now if you want 3d you need to use your pc.

also talk about lame. 2,000:1 contrast? come on. they can do better then that.

A genuine 2000:1 contrast ratio is pretty decent for an LCD TV display, even if it isn't that great a contrast ratio in itself per se.
That is providing that is a real measured actual contrast ratio and not that worthless advertsing BS the 'dynamic contrast ratio', of course.
If they had used 'dynamic ratio then they could probably have lied about having a 10,000:1 - 30,000:1 or some such other nonsense as many LCD companies currently do
(which if you check with a reputable reviewing organisation who do the real measurement turns out to be a true 800:1 - 1400:1).

Joe, How do you get 3D on your PC? I'd like to check this out.

8ms response with shutter-glasses is going to look really bad; tons of ghosting. This only really works well with CRTs.

calm yourselves people. 3d is still years away from mainstream implementation. Just look at HD. Hd is like 10 years old almost in commercial sets and only now its finally hitting just the 30%+ of tv owners have an hd set. Dont expect 3d to take off overnight. Expect another 10 years before their fully featured.
And dont complain about lack of knowing standards and stuff now. Do you think the first hdtvs are still going nicely today? no their piles of crap compared to the HD sets you can buy in stores now.
