There has been a good amount of buzz over these 3D televisions receiving both praise and dismissal. The fact is that 3D technology is nothing new and has been around since the 50's with very few advances made in the technology since its creation. Most modern 3D televisions employ some form of the pre-existing technology with the majority of these new 3D TV's employing a method called polarization, were two images are superimposed on the same screen using different polarizing filters. While the rest use active shutter technology, which involves the use of expensive glasses that filter the amount of light that passes through in synchronization with the display.
But enough about the tech, in my opinion the determining factor of whether or not 3D TV's are here to stay is not the technology but instead the content that will be provided. 3D technology has finally become affordable and it will only continue to get more, and more affordable so content is the underlying factor that will determine the inevitable fate of 3D TV's. So far Sony one of leading promoters of the technology has been increasingly releasing several 3D capable content going as far as making the majority of their first party titles for the PS3 3D enabled as well as partnering with publishers to release more and more 3D enabled Bluray movies. In closing it is always important to keep in mind that the technology is only as good as the content provided for it.
