[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 217842, member: 3903"] How many of you own a 3-D tv set? I don't and I know a lot of people that are not interested. There comes a point where you have to look at the price you have to pay for these "technical advancements". People are getting wiser. I remember a few years ago (well OK, for me a few years ago might be half of your life time) when the price of a 40" flat screen tv was around 10,000.00 $. They didn't sell that much at that price. Now you can get it for $ 600.00 or even less. But the bigger problem is getting the TV stations to change all their equipment in order to produce and diffuse this "new format". And they are not making the same money they were neither. People download, watch on-line, rent. This has brought the appeal of advertising on TV to a lower value per buck and big companies are starting to re-evaluate their marketing medias. There is no way we can know for sure what will happen, but the way I see it, it might take more time than we think to see all this newer technology accessible to the masses. [/QUOTE]
