The 404 Podcast 536: Where we’re suffering from stereo blindness

(Credit: Panasonic) All week long we’ve been talking about the popularity of 3D technology, both in the home and in the theater, and we’ve finally decided to invite someone on the show to answer our questions on the future of home theater. David Katzmaier , senior editor of TVs and home theater for CNET, joins us on today’s episode of The 404 podcast to fill us in on the latest developments in the world of 3D TVs and what we can expect to see down the line. 3D TVs were easily the biggest trend at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, but they’ve only recently started becoming available to consumers. Panasonic announced its first 3D TV bundle at Best Buy earlier this week, but before you run out and drop $2,900, make sure you know exactly what you’re getting into. For example, David talks to us about the extra hardware you’ll need to purchase along with your 3D TV. Aside from the obvious 3D-compatible television set, you’ll also need a 3D Blu-ray player (unless you have a Sony PS3, which will get a 3D firmware upgrade in June 2010), and a couple sets of 3D glasses, since some companies like Sony won’t include them with the TVs.
