With all the new kraze over 3D TV, I saw this morning that Panny will release their first one next week. All the commercials show people wearing plastic glasses with a cord attached.

I'm curious as to whether there is a switch to go from 2D to 3D on the fly and back, or are they 3D all the time and glasses are required. I did hear that some companies are developing TVs to not need the glasses.

What does one do when they want to watch the tv while cooking, or doing other things where the silly glasses would just get in the way?

How many people are going to run out and jump on this after we all just purchased new TVs last year to get around the digital switchover deal?
