For Comcast, the stakes are very high indeed. 3D TV is a buzzword – Sony, Samsung, and Sharp have all announced plans to market lines of 3D sets, and Sharp will soon roll out a 3.4-inch 3D-capable LCD TV, which lets users go without those geeky glasses. Not wearing glasses is the true might of 3D TV. In most homes people will not want to wear 3D Glasses as they watch television.

In early January of this year, ESPN took the very first step into the 3D sports market, saying it would show the Mexico-South Africa World Cup match on June 11 in 3D. According to ESPN, that broadcast will appear on a new ESPN 3D network.

James Camerson the Director and Producer of the blockbuster movie Avatar said “we have demonstrated that the 3D market is an extremely lucrative market and this is not a fad, this is not something that is going to go away.” “It’s going to be interesting because 3D TVs are going to change things yet again. But the TVs are going to take awhile to catch up with the marketplace because there isn’t enough content.”

For the Masters Gold tournament you will also be able to get 3D coverage on your laptop, although you’ll need a 3D monitor with a 3D media player. Same stipulation for the 3D TV, of course: Comcast says users should have “a new 3D TV with 3D glasses and an HD set-top box with an HDMI connection.”

Better get used to 3D TV to being the most talked about new technology in 2010, at the CES this year, many new units and companies were show casing their devices.
