3D Side Effects Study and Consumer Indifference
Two interesting 3D stories have come forward this past week that are definitely worth noting. First, in a study commissioned by Samsung, researchers have reported that viewing 3D under certain conditions can cause eye strain and fatigue...Also, in another recent study, the NPD Group is reporting increased consumer indifference to 3D TV, with the need to purchase and wear glasses as the main stumbling block...Check out all the details on both these stories and also vote in my latest poll.

Optoma HD20 DLP Video Projector - Review and Photos
The HD20 has been in Optoma's video projector lineup for over a year, but it is still a popular seller. Priced at $999 the HD20 is a great value. It's stylish design is compatible with almost any decor, and bolstered by DLP technology, 1920x1080 (1080p) native pixel resolution, and 1,700 lumen output capability, the video quality is very good for the price. The HD20 also has a very quick turn-on and cool down shut off time. To find out if this projector should be on your shopping list, check out a Review of the Optoma HD20 I wrote in 2010, along with some great close-up photos, and a sampling of Video Performance Tests I ran as part of the evaluation process.
