18080 pixels?

love Tom's, hate typos...

havent you heard? it's all about the tall-screen tvs now days. widescreens are so 2008

true fact, as every generation passes by, people are getting taller. theresfore theres a natural need for tall tv's

i'll just put the plasma on its side and give myself a super wide tv!!

I'll just do that with 3 of em, but instead 23" LCDs. =D

Not at all interested in this myself...

Imagine 6 of these and the new ATi Cards...

Oh wait...

"offering 1920 x 18080 pixels"
Hello mr. Parrish, thanks for giving me another reason to bash another article of yours
I wouldn't have commented if it were just "1920x1808", but 18080 is ridiculous

Hehe, did you guys stop feeding your proofreading monkey?

Maybe Kevin was in San Diego at the time he wrote this and got confused...

35,840 x 8,000.

If it wasn't for the stupid glasses needed, I'd say good idea. Many people already wear glasses for vision though, what about us? Even at the movies, the 3D glasses hurt my ears and nose since I have to wear them over my regular glasses.

Until this kind of thing is fixed, they will be missing out on a lot of sales.

To support my claim!

According to the Vision Council of America, approximately 75% of adults use some sort of vision correction. About 64% of them wear eyeglasses, and about 11% wear contact lenses, either exclusively, or with glasses. Over half of all women and about 42% of men wear glasses. Similarly, more women than men, 18% and 14% respectively, wear contacts. Of those who use both contacts and eyeglasses, 62% wear contact lenses more often.

Judging by just looking at the photo of the shutter glasses, they look like they might be large enough to fit over small frame eye glasses. No?

"The company plans to go with a full frontal public display next week." Makes me look forward to 3D even more

Hmm.. I believe the correct resolution would be 1920x1080, not 1920x1808. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wearing shuttered glasses is too much of a nuisance. People would much more easily accept Polarized shades. Many people have prescription glasses any ways and if 3D content reaches a critical threshold then I don't think people would mind carrying with them a a cool set of Oakleys (or some other favorite brand of) shades with the necessary filters.

It's sad that most of your comments are about a typo, and not about the article's contents. I guess you all need to complain about something so you can feel superior in some way?

Go get jobs ...

Do we require to stand in front of the TV just 10 inches apart? lol.

A lot of us do have jobs. Kevin Parrish also has a job. I'd imagine "Reread before submitting to the editor" would be part of it. A lot of us have been here for a very long time and hate simple mistakes or mistakes MS Word 95 would catch because they have become commonplace in almost every article that is being posted.

If we can't trust the competence of the everyday news people here then how does that reflect on the people who are writing the hardware reviews?

as others have mentioned, a 1920x18080 resolution is quite impressive. Vertically it is 9x more dense than horizontally. Impressive.

@Honis

Not sure. Maybe they turn the features off for time reasons? Meeting a deadline? I can't imagine these kind of features take up that much time. I bet the articles get fat-fingered by an intern at the last second, or something.

/me aplauds Honis

Quality shouldn't be the first thing compromised in the face of deadlines.

*applauds

where's that edit button again?

Just wait until people pony up the cash for these tv's and they all get sick from watching this thing. Ever heard of simulation sickness??? (Motion sickness caused by a virtual environment) Headaches, nausea, epilepsy, I’m sure the list could go on and on a medical note.

Son: "How did you go blind Dad?"
Dad: "Well son, I purchased this Panasonic flashy image T.V. and it burned out my retinas"

oh my god I can't stop laughing.... "18080" *falls off chair* "Proof reading monkey" *rolls on floor*

Let me clear the confusion about Parrish's typos. You sure haven't notice but Kevin Parrish works for a Tech site, so Best of Media hired him cause he has plenty of knowledge (putting apart the opinions). So, all of you must realize that he does typos deliberately and on purpose. What's the idea behind this? Well I clearly don't know. Maybe he wants some fame out of his typos in each article ( which...if you notice are obvious typos). Results? More comments (albeit more flaming than anything else) and more responses to the actual article.

And now for the article: Nice tech, as for me, it will be a little difficult as i currently use glasses. I've seen #-D movies with the green/magenta glasses and they are annoying when you put them on in addition to your actual lens. I don't know, but there's a lot of improvement that must be done in this field. Kind of cool, though

So they fixed that shutter glasses don't turn black yet?

Every few years they re-release this crap and it's still semi transparent glasses with heavy shadowing...

Someone needs to get you a beer, you sound really, really bored.

3d using shutter shades and flashes? is that how the theater 3d movies do things now? I coulda swore they do something different, and disney 3d is pretty good imo

I know 1920x1080 is correct. with 1920x1808 it would have looked more acceptable (just a switch between the 8 and the 0)

I have a job, and i don't feel superior by complaining about typos, but after months of reading toms everyday, these typos do get very annoing. Maybe i must complain, because i get bored at my job for having too much free time and i can read toms. At least i get paid
