the glasses are 150 too most people's HDTV's are less than 5 years old and people are used keeping TV's lasting 10 plus years. ESP when you just spent 2,000 on HDTV

MSRP of $3299 for the C7000 is actually $200 cheaper than last year's equivalent B7000 ($3499). It did quite well as did the high-end 8500.

Well I sat down a couple weekends ago at Best Buy, put on the 3D glasses and watched about 10 minutes of the demo "Monsters vs. Aliens."
Within half an hour, and every day after that for over a week, I had a nagging headache that lasted most of the day, one of those where you feel like the back of your eyeballs is being squished in a vice.
I wonder if the two things are related somehow. It could have been the relatively small size TV they had in the demo area, or the fact that directly behind was a wall of other TVs that were reflected in the image I was trying to view.
I am very excited about this technology, and want it to be as good as what I've experienced in the movie theater, but if it causes headaches I will have to pass.My dogs http://www.pepper.net/ & http://www.graci.org/ - for sale: http://www.stretchovision.com/

Pepper- this glasses 3D technology is not for everyone. That's too bad but it was the same deal with DLP. I remember listening to people complaining how the color wheel technology was giving them headaches with seeing rainbows. I can see those rainbows if I want but I know how to avoid them too. I believe the shutter glasses is worse and will eliminate quite a few people with vision issues and a propensity toward visual triggered seizures. 3 years ago I went through quite a bit of neurological testing for seizures and the shutter vision was one of the tests as well as strobe effects too. If you feel you suffer from headaches, then you really should avoid the technology. BTW- I tested negative and and was later tested positive for bradicardia.
In the movie theater, they use a polarized technology which is not the same. It is considered benign for brain function issues but shuttering the vision can trigger side effects in many people.Join SatelliteGuys on the Home Theater Cruise, November 25-Dec 2.
