I know they're making them thin nowadays but aren't all tellies 3D? Otherwise they'd not exist.

Read the above Reg article about frame rates. Keeping 1080p and going for 96/100fps would be a much better use of the bandwidth than doubling the resolution again to 4K, and still using the antiquated 24fps developed for the first "talkies".

4K for home TVs seems a bit pointless to me - for proper home cinemas perhaps but that's a niche market. I don't see why we shouldn't stick with 1080p for the bulk of TVs - 30-50" - and introduce 4k in parallel for top-end TVs.

Well, I watched the first 2 sets of yesterday's Wimbledon final in 3D (via Virgin Tivo box on Panasonic ET50 47") - pretty good, all in all, but I ended up switching back to regular BBC One HD for the 3rd set - of everything, I found the angle of play was not as engrossing as regular viewing; seems the 3D camera's were placed more or less directly behind the baseline, meaning less of the court could be seen.
On the flipside, went to see latest Star Trek film a few weeks back @ BFI Waterloo, largest IMAX in the UK and all that - that was mighty impressive....
Anyway, not a huge 3D viewer, but just my tuppence worth.

Personally I find the whole thing off putting and find a regular "2D" film actually gives a better sense of depth.
Having seen 3 films in 3D, Tron was the only one which used it well.

Avatar is still the reference for good 3D, but Life of Pi is stunningly beautiful in 3D, the first part at least really is better because of it.
The better the film as a vehicle for the story, the less it needs 3d to make an impact.
