This year, we’ve seen a big push from LG to promote 3D LCD panels utilizing inexpensive passive 3D glasses. The tech known as film patterned retarder (FPR) has a drawback in that it cuts the resolution of the image in half.

Still filled with flaws and nobody knows what the future holds, still…not a bad price to have a new toy to play with. Amazon actually has this now for $179…that’s pretty darned good.

So if you’re one of them, and you happen to be one of the unlucky Android owners of an unsupported phone, there’s a chance you can still use the new Netflix application to stream. Pretty neat…of course, if it breaks […]
Read moreI absolutely did not see this one coming. I’m a fan of Two and a Half Men, but Kutcher never even crossed my mind as the replacement for Charlie Sheen.
