- pessimizer 4y agoThere was a time when the 3D TV people infested HN worse than the Bitcoin people later did. 100 times a day, somebody was called a cynic for saying that people weren't going to wear special glasses to watch TV. Since half the new high-end TVs were 3D, we also got to constantly hear that the market had already chosen 3D. Smart TVs were the boon everyone was looking for; they could reorganize and raise the profit margins of the TV manufacturing industry but didn't even have to add any expensive new technology, just crappy apps and ads.
