50% of Consumers Want 3D Home Theater

bluray_3d_specQuixel Research also says consumers are willing to pay for 3D glasses and want 3D channels from cable/satellite providers.

According to a recent survey from Quixel Research, 50 percent of consumers want 3D home theaters and about 80 percent have already watched something in 3D.

Quixel’s second annual 3D study, “3D Displays and Content 2009,” (pdf) surveyed 1,000 HDTV owners to get their opinions on 3D technology. The data also shows consumers:
Are willing to pay for 3D glasses
Want to receive 3D programming from their service provider
Prefer to watch 3D content from their cable or satellite provider vs. buying Blu-ray/DVD
“Consumers not only prefer to receive 3D content from their cable or satellite provider, but they are willing to pay more for a 3D movie channel,” says Tamaryn Pratt, Quixel Research principal. “Consumers are very familiar with recent 3D technology and those who have seen a 3D movie in the [past] 12 months are interested in owning a 3D TV even if it requires glasses.”

The study also found the following:

3D Product Awareness: Seventy-eight percent of respondents have had a 3D experience.
3D Interest/Purchasing: Half of those surveyed are interested in watching 3D at home, with those who have seen a 3D movie recently more interested in purchasing.
3D Timing: More than one third of those surveyed expect 3D TV within 12 months
3D Content: A significant majority would be interested in changing their content provider in order to receive 3D content.
3D Opinions: Nearly two-thirds say 3D is a group experience.
3D Glasses: Consumers are willing to pay for 3D glasses but don’t expect to pay twice as much for two pair.
3D Brands: Comcast was in the top three trusted 3D brands along with Samsung and Sony.

Top 10 Blu-ray Releases for December 15

hangover300‘Boogie Nights,’ Tarantino’s ‘Basterds’ and ‘The Hangover’ highlight this week’s selections.

This week’s batch of Blu-ray releases offer quality over quantity. Unlike some weeks, there aren’t a big slew of choices. But there are several solid picks to make for some worthwhile viewing.

It’s always noteworthy when Quentin Tarantino makes a film, and while ‘Inglourious Basterds’ is certainly no ‘Pulp Fiction’ it does have its share of entertaining moments and the usual eyebrow-raising storytelling that the director has become known for. Plus Brad Pitt offers up another quality performance, as does Christoph Waltz as the movie’s main villain.

Coming off the heels of Tarantino’s success in the mid-90s, Paul Thomas Anderson began delivering equally entertaining epics. His breakthrough film ‘Boogie Nights’ hits Blu-ray this week, with its fast-paced look at the porn industry of the 70s and 80s. Should be a winner for your sound system, too, with a classic 70s soundtrack setting the tone for the movie.

If you’re looking for something a little lighter, or a lot lighter, check out ‘The Hangover,’ which could make a strong case as funniest movie of the year. And if that’s not enough humor for you, there’s an enormous Mel Brooks Collection due out this week that ought to keep you laughing for days featuring nine movies.

Here is the full release schedule for the week, courtesy of Blu-ray.com (movie synopses and information also courtesy of their website):
