We normally skip parties at CES, but occasionally there is a hidden gem or two like the prototype 4k glassesless 3DTV at Toshiba's event this evening. The LCD panel looks about as far away from production as any we've seen with its billet aluminum enclosure and red rope restricting access. The set can only display 4K in 2D mode, which is a-ok with us, and the only demo content was a 3D render of Final Fantasy that was impressive from its three viewing positions. Of course three viewing positions isn't exactly what we'd call practical for our home theater, and the 3D quality wasn't on par with what we've seen from active shutter 3D but it does show solid evidence that Toshiba is making some advancements towards the inevitable. Now, we sit back and wait to find out if we can afford it.

At last, some people are able to come over their glasses hate and admit that autostereoscopy has some limitations. Halleluyah! Preach, brother!the 3D quality wasn't on par with what we've seen from active shutter 3D

People always have something to complain about. Its like if its not the full 360-degree Holodeck style experience, its not worth looking at.
