Spotted at CES and out this month in Korea, Samsung's 3D-capable plasma is going to be making an appearance Stateside in March. The 42-inch and 50-inch PN42A450P TVs use the TriDef 3D tech from DDD Group, which costs $200 for two pairs of 3D glasses and the TriDef 3D software. Samsung's calling this the "world's first 3D-ready flat-panel HDTV," but didn't leave out the other fixins like a 15,000:1 contrast ratio, 18-bit color processing and three HDMI-CEC plugs. No word on cost, but you can't put a pricetag on those migraines.

Yeah lol:ed at that part too, but didn't he say they've got a built-in 2d to 3d converter chip that converts 2d material into 3d in real time? So that would mean that it's compatible with every game on the market right now.

Yep it's old tech, but new for plasmas! And for the TV-business. :) Can't wait to try it out, though!

I'd be impressed if someone figured out how to do that without the glasses. I wear glasses as it is, and wearing glasses on top of glasses is fugly.

Use contacts? :D And who cares if it's fugly - you're going to watch the tv at home, so no one is going to see you. :) And when you have friends over, just use it as a regular TV!

If you have to wear glasses for this to work, then there is nothing new about this.
