CES 2010: Panasonic UHD and 3DTV
Eric checks out a 152-inch 4K Ultra High Definition screen from Panasonic. The 1 in front of the 52 is not a typo, and that's 4096 × 3072 resolution, for those keeping score at home. Also, the guys test drive some of the 3D tech we've been hearing so much about with Panasonic's full-HD 3DTV setup, complete with wireless active glasses. Panasonic expects to start shipping the 3DTV gear in April.
CES 2010: interview with Matt Burns
CrunchGear's Matt Burns weighs in on what's making the biggest splash at CES. On the table is the explosion of e-book readers, a talking panda, and whether 3DTV - one of this year's showroom floor darlings - is going to be the next big thing or the next big bust.
CES 2010: Roundtable 2
Jonathan Strickland from HowStuffWorks joins Randall and Iyaz to discuss 3D video technology, which is a growing presence at CES. They break down the viability of the concept, and the niches that might start adopting it sooner rather than later.
3D without the silly glasses from Hitachi and 3M

Two new technologies bring the 3D without the need for glasses. Hitachi demoed the Full Parallax 3D TV which displays 3D images in VGA resolution. The 10 inch TV uses a combination of projectors with a lens array sheet to create the effect. 3M is using a different approach by applying a film over LCDs to create 3D. Compatible LCDs must have edge LED lighting to aid in the 3D effect.
3DTV: The next big thing or next big flop?
Panasonic is showing off a 50-inch plasma TV which aims to bring 3D TV from the movie theater to the home theater. That's all well-and-good, but even if the company has managed to fix the persistent headaches, awkward motion and other issues that have plagued 3D in the past, does it actually add anything to the experience? We talk to John Biggs from CrunchGear and Nate Lanxon from CNET UK, who aren't totally sold on the idea either.
