Betcha didn't see this one coming, did you Philips? No sooner than the aforementioned company unveiled a rather striking <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/02/philips-reveals-56-inch-quad-full-3d-hdtv-in-hollywood/">56-inch Quad Full 3D HDTV</a> over on the left coast of the US did Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) and JVC Victor one-up that with a 72-inch prototype of their own. Revealed at CEATEC 2008, the Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) set doesn't even require viewers to sport those face-consuming glasses to experience the effect. In essence, the display utilizes multiple projectors to really emphasize that elusive <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/3d/">third-dimension</a>, but the viewing angle is understandably limited. Oh, and we hope you're not too geeked up about this -- NICT stated that we probably wouldn't see these in the commercial realm before 2011. Ah well, at least there's IMAX to hold us.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.gearlog.com/2008/10/72inch_3d_display_by_jvc_could.php">Gearlog</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20081002/159012/>Read</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/nict-jvc-victor-team-up-on-no-glasses-needed-3d-hdtv/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1331922/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/nict-jvc-victor-team-up-on-no-glasses-needed-3d-hdtv/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>
