There's something about 2013's Consumer Electronics Show that's different from every other iteration this decade. You might not realize it immediately, for it's marked by the absence rather than the arrival of a new technology, but it's there and we're all sensing it on a deep, subconscious level. And it feels good.

3D is gone.

You no longer need to pick up a pair of polarizing glasses on your way into a big company's press conference. There are no more 60-foot posters with people exploding out of flatscreen televisions. The super glitzy marketing videos now relate to the far more tangible benefits of higher resolutions, curved displays, and the beauty of OLED. The show floor space dedicated to three-dimensional imagery has been decimated, relegating a dubious technology to its proper position as a sideshow rather than a leading cause to upgrade your TV.

Click was saying that months ago when they went to Japan and 3D sets were nowhere to be seen.

OLED is said to give 'depth' to an image from a wider viewing angle without the need for the stupid glasses, and without it being disconcerting.

I have to admit, it's the contrast of OLED that I'm interested in. 4k is fine, but I'm not that bothered about it.
I couldn't care less about 3D.

I was in a Curry's or such superstore and saw a 3D TV and was blown away by the images. I never really took to 3D cinema. The active glasses made the difference for me. That said I am simply not in the market for a 3D TV and OLED is what I am more interested in. The low energy use and brightness of colours are the killer features for me.

My dad has a passive 3D TV and the effect is [LIFTED]. A friend has an active 3D TV and the effect is [LIFTED]. I'm not particularly against 3D but have yet to be impressed by a home TV set.

I'm pretty sure the "3D is dead" claim is nonsense though as one manufacturer was showing a 4K no-glasses-required 3D TV at CES IIRC.

Whenever I’ve tried a 3D set, I have been appalled at the interlacing in some and the overall darkness of the image in all. How these were deemed fit for purpose is beyond me.

I have to admit I've not experienced 3D on a TV set. I've only experienced it at the cinema and TBH it just gives me varying degrees of headache depending on how bad the effect is. Bear in mind that I don't normally have headaches and even when I do, I don't bother with painkillers.

Dredd apparently had some good 3D, but we didn't notice it! And it wasn't helped by, 'Oh, look at that random football. And that pipe sticking out above it. And...' :roll:

Even that's gonna be a big expensive compromise for a family.

^^^You can see the 3D effect in the pics.

I watched a video of a demo of an 8k TV an some images almost seemed to 'pop' out of the TV in a 3D effect.

Here it is. Go to around 42 seconds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCcYrcyaFQA

I'm going to have to replace our very old TV soon and I'd definitely be interested in a 3D TV now that there are more movies being released for that format.

You do have to wonder for how long though, and are many of them films you'd actually want to buy? :|

Yes but will people want to replace their DVD and now Blu ray collections with 8k discs?

Some Bluray players can uscale DVD's. I wonder if 8k disc players could upscale Blu Rays?
