I have had an inexpensive field sequential system for several years now and I am convinced that shutter glasses are the best way to 3D for the home theatre. That is, until someone comes out with a reliable autostereoscopic home system, but that may take years. Years during which money will not be made on a home stereoscopic presentation system. Someone should start a movement to educate the public on the field sequential system. I think they will be most receptive. The technology is here, why not use it? Christopher R.
