Wii U - a thread with subtitles.
Louieturkey:
They could also have possibly not advertised the 3D even though the tv was capable...probably not.
MagicCow64:
A friend of mine recently told me that his (elderly) mother and step-father decided that they wanted a top-flight TV for their new apartment, so they went to PC Richards and basically asked for the best they had. They ended up paying like $3K for a window-sized ultra-thin screen with all the bells and whistles. While my friend was helping them configure it, he discovered that it's also a 3D TV. His mother had no idea and has no intention of using the feature. I imagine this kind of situation accounts for a hefty chunk of 3D sales.
Chozo Ghost:
Then one day when all of the sudden a 3D image pops out of the screen at them it will give them a heart attack... Elderly people shouldn't have TVs which are 3D capable if they don't know about it, because that's a ticking time bomb that might shock them to death at some point. Imagine them watching Matlock and then all of the sudden Andy Griffith pops out at them. They would probably think its his ghost and it would scare the hell out of them.

only if they accidentally put on the $50 pair of 3D glasses that they likely had to purchase separately....
edit: and someone went back and configured "Matlock" to work in 3D :P

Replace Matlock with Perry Mason and I'm almost sold on 3D TVs.
