Question 3-D 'format war', does it matter/exist? (Home market)

They talk about a 'format war' within stereoscopic 3D (for the home market).

Now, I know the difference between shutter, polarization...etc.

BUT... isn't that the equal to the same difference as in, let's say, plasma vs lcd?

As far as I know, when the stereoscopic Blu-ray standard is made, it doesn't really matter what 3D tech the tv uses as the BD device works independently of that.
I mean, no matter if you use a shutter based tv/glasses combo or polarization the source is the same as the BD player delivers alternative right/left images via the HDMI. The source is the same.

There's really no war here as far as I see it (for consumers to worry about as they will still have full access to the complete Blu-ray 3D library), just choice of 3D display tech.

Anyways, felt like posting this due to a few articles writing it up as a potential future problem.
