hi ole, what's up with life recently?

your questions:

=> will i buy into 3D?

absolutely! just watching snipets of them it's enough to make me drool.

=> will i buy a 3D TV now - if available today?

no. because some features of HDMI 1.4ver are not going to be implemented yet in this year's TV models. features like internet content steaming over HDMI and full spec'd HD audio steaming via the "audio return channel" look like they will be implemented only sometime next year. i would hate to be agonising over another round of upgrade in just a year's time.

=> Will i buy a new 3D receiver?

no. because some features of HDMI 1.4ver are not going to be implemented yet in this year's receiver models - especially shared internet streaming over HDMI, between network enable devices. wired lan carries it own set of RF gabbage, so if it can be confined to only the TV sets, it would greatly cut down noise pollution to the sensitive audio elecronics on the recever. so just as it is with buying 3D TV this year, i would hate to be agonising over another round of upgrade in a year's time.

=> Will i buy a new 3D blu-ray player this year?

the new upcoming ayre player looks interesting with it's pure-audio HDMI output (in addition to the alternative AV HDMI output) - which i reckon hanson made so that it will be able to sync-with-minimum-jitter with HATS enabled receivers. but this ayre player, is already obselete even before it is launched. come the 2nd qtr of this year, a blu-ray player is expected to function as more than just an optical disc player. they are now expected to function as a full-fledged media player, with idiot-proof windows to media content from broadband networks, much like what the PS3 is currently doing. and again, if the ability to steam internet content into the blu-ray player can be enabled from the TV set via the HDMI 1.4ver connection between them, the noise pollution could be isolated to only the TV, allowing the user to have more pristine sound quality from the blu-ray player.

conclusion:

3D is great.

but in rushing to get the products out into the market before the fifa world cup, every piece of hardware to reproduce it is not "fully loaded" and still would need some more makeover.

but come same time next year, there will be other new features on the horizon - inevitably. well, so it goes, on and on.....

but 3D is really great. have u seen it?

Some reasonable arguments worthy of discussion, but don't write 3D off too quickly. - Audiophilander 23:36:26 02/15/10 (1)

Like I said, the world consensus apparently differs from yours; that goes for the overall impression of 3D too. - Audiophilander 16:27:59 02/15/10 (1)
