    Default Survey shows people prefer 3d by satellite to Bluray

    In a recent online survey, over three-fourths of consumers said they would prefer to receive 3D content via their cable or satellite provider compared to those respondents who prefer Blu-ray/DVD, which was the second choice overall. Quixel Research, a market intelligence company focused on the Home Theater and Home Entertainment display markets recently published its second annual 3D Study, 3D Displays and Content 2009. The study surveyed 1000 HDTV owners online to quantify as well as qualify their opinions on 3D technology.

    “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,” stated Tamaryn Pratt, Quixel Research Principal. “Consumers are very familiar with recent 3D technology and those who have seen a 3D movie in the 12 months are interested in owning a 3D TV even if it requires glasses.”

    The full study provides the most recent findings regarding consumers’ willingness to purchase 3D TVs and glasses, as well as accepted price points, 3D brands and 3D content types. The new 3D report is currently available for purchase. A few data points covered in the study:
    - 3D Product Awareness: 78% 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 than the overall sample.
    - 3D Timing: Over a third of those surveyed expect 3D TV within 12 months.
    - 3D Content: Almost 1/3 would be interested in changing their content provider in order to receive 3D content.
    - 3D Opinions: Almost 2/3 stated 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 3 trusted 3D brands, along with CE manufacturers Samsung and Sony.

    Those same people would likely say they see no difference between DVD and Blu-ray or between a letterbox or anamorphic DVD transfer, nor can they hear a difference between a record to a CD to an MP3.

    The "recent 3D technology" people have seen is achieved at one hell of a resolution. Even the 3D standard the Blu-ray Disc association have come up with has had to double its resolution to ensure the quality of a 3D title remains the same as an existing 2D one (though the specs also require a 3D disc also contain the 2D version).

    So unless consumer satellites are going to suddenly delivery thousands of lines of resolution, what we're realistically talking about is Foxtel transmitting a standard definition using "recent 3D technology" which would result in an effective resolution equivalent to that of a VHS tape.

    Wow, enjoy that...
