MILT TALKS ABOUT 3D TV

INT. BURGER RESTAURANT: 

MILT: "Okay, I gotta clear the table so I can tell you about the big thing that's coming up...."

EDDIE (VO): "Big thing?

MILT: "Yeah! My family and I are soon to become owners of...are you ready for this?...a (Ahem!)...55' Samsung 3D TV!  There's a clearance sale on and I can get it for a thousand bucks. That's a set that normally sells for three grand or more." 

EDDIE (VO): "A 3D TV!!??? Woooow! That's great!!!!! Invite me over! But how come it's so cheap? Samsung's a big brand."

MILT: "Ahhh, good question! The answer is that Samsung is debuting a new set called the 'Smart TV' that doesn't use a remote. It responds to hand commands.  You change the settings from your chair just by wiggling your hands."

EDDIE (VO): "Yikes! That's great...but it's not worth an extra two thousand bucks."

MILT: "Exactly! When I first heard about the Smart TV I thought, 'Oh, no! Another excuse to charge an arm and a leg for a TV!' Then I thought, 'Wait a minute! What are they gonna do with the old sets?' A friend called and told me about the sale and that clinched it. "

MILT: "Eddie, have you ever seen 3D on TV?"

EDDIE (VO): "Yeah, a while back in Best Buy, but the glasses were kinda clunky."

MILT: "Not any more. These glasses are low profile. Wearing them is like wearing Ray Bans...well, er...sort of. Anyway, they're only a small distraction. You just have to hold them close up to the set to activate them. The glasses are free, and so is the Blue Ray player. The store throws them in for the price of the set!"

MILT: "3D is amazing!!!!! I saw it over a friend's house. We watched excerpts from the 3D disks of 'Tangled' and 'Polar Express.' You wouldn't believe it. They looked great! Well...as great as those kind of films can look."

EDDIE (VO): "You don't hear so much about 3D TV these days. Maybe the sets didn't sell as well as expected."

MILT: "Yeah, it's hard to know if the industry will continue to support it. I think it will, but who knows? Maybe the prices are too high. I bet they'd sell a lot more TVs if the price was lower. Anyway, I'm happy because the price is a steal even without the 3D.

Oh, and I forgot to say that the set I want to get is made in Korea. My friend says you have to avoid stores like Frye's because their sets are likely made in China where the standards are lower." 

EDDIE (VO): "Hey Milt, do you mind if I put this on Theory Corner? Maybe somebody else'll save a buck on a set, just like you will."

MILT: "Sure, go ahead! If enough people buy 3D TVs, then it'll become standard!"
