We�re willing to admit, and we probably aren�t the only ones, that 3D simply is not the next big thing in home entertainment.
Sure it sounded cool on paper, but in reality 3D at home just doesn�t provide the immersive 3D experience you get in a theater.
Couple that with eye fatigue, headaches and seizures and 3D hasn�t delivered.
Of the two options vying for the title of next big thing, OLED and 4K, which one has a better chance of claiming the throne?

OLED TVs may have stolen the show at CES 2012, but just when you think it�s safe to be an early adopter and pick one up, you might want to hold off.
There�s a new display technology on the horizon that backers claim will not only outperform OLED, but also be cheaper to manufacture.
And it has a much cooler name - it�s called Quantum Dot display or QLED.
And if that doesn�t sound like you�re living in the future, we don�t know what does.

It was pretty clear that the OLED TVs demonstrated by LG and Samsung stole the show at the last Consumer Electronics Show we went to.
We were really impressed by the color, contrast and sharpness of the picture.
However, there are some issues that need to be resolved before we see mainstream OLED HDTVs in sizes that we would want in our living rooms.
Rather than go with an OLED TV, Sony displayed a technology called Crystal LED.
Crystal LED takes six million tiny LEDs to create a picture that they hope will rival OLED technology.
A 1080P TV has nearly 2 million pixels on screen.
Crystal LEDs TVs take three LEDs, one for red, green, and blue, and combine them for each pixel.
Each pixel is mounted directly in front of the display.
This is not an LED based LCD but an actual LED TV.
