I paid a visit to my local (Maine) Best Buy a few days back and noticed a prominent display of a 55" Samsung curved screen t.v., on "sale" for roughly $3500.00. A sales clerk approached me and asked if I needed anything, and I asked her, essentially, why I might need a slightly curved screen t.v. for almost $4,000. for what was the same size set as my 3-D Panny set, for which I paid about $1500. The clerk told me she had just attended a trade show, and informed me that Samsung and various other manufacturers were dropping 3-D support in deference to curved-screen technology, which added depth and rendered 3-D obsolete.
This information did not sit well with me. For one thing, this curved screen bullshit is just a gimmick and adds almost no perceivable depth. Secondly, I now own nearly 100 3-D Blu-rays, and if Samsung and other companies are dropping 3-D support, where would that leave me and millions of other 3-D enthusiasts?
Personally, I think this women was full of shit, and misinterpreted what she was told at the trade show.
But is there anyone here who can provide information about this issue?
