3D TV without the glasses!

The Creative Life company is attempting to leapfrog over the 3D TV competition and leave the glasses behind. With all the hype over 3D TVs at this year's CES, the one hangup I keep overhearing is, "Who really wants to watch TV with glasses all the time?"

Having grown up with an 80-year-old's eye-sight, wearing glasses all day long never bothered me much. But since lasik, I can see how this is a definite deterrent. That, and for those who already wear them, doubling up on the eyewear can't be attractive.

TCL's effort is already years ahead of the other 3D TVs shown at this year's show. Their display at CES shows an image comparable to what others are offering, glasses included. However, for those of you already hoping to ogle this for yourself, it won't be available until 2012. And then, only in China. There's no word yet on when it will hit the U.S. and other markets.

Shock and awe fact: This will set you back $20,000. Star saving now.
