Three Dimensional Viewing

This month, Mark Richardson reviews the best 3D televisions on the market and ponders if 3D is really the right way to go.....
Let us all be honest with one another.....what is important in life? Family, friends, work are all a given, but I would argue that TV is an important element of day to day life. Now there may be some out there heckling my last statement, arguing that the increased reliance of television has helped in the disintegration of literacy and the using of the mind. On one hand I would agree with certain points, on the much bigger hand...I have to watch football. So whatever opinion you may harbour towards the box in the corner of your room, this review can give you a 3D insight into what 3D television is really about and if all the hype about it is indeed true.
