0

The 3D revolution has begun, but it hasn’t hit it’s peak just yet.. But what’s all the fuss about? Watching films take on a whole new entertainment factor, Avatar has arguably been the best 3d movie to date. In a 3D haven, the audience can take there cinematic experience to a whole new level. Watching Avatar is incredible, the blue skinned Na’vi of the planet Pandora are astonishingly realistic. The way we watch televised sport is also being revolutionised, with an increasing amount being filmed using 3D technology; so you can almost feel like Lionel Messi has just darted passed you. Television is changing forever, but is the time right to purchase a 3D TV?

 

3D technology has won over scores of people in the last two years, but should be consumers be buying a 3D TV now? It must be said that Hollywood has pumped out a significant amount of 3D drab, however, the technology is undoubted. No to come across all commercial, 3D television technology liberates content from the flat confines of the TV transforming it into dynamic imagery that gives you depth to what you are watching, making you feel part of the action. Before paying out paying out a hefty amount for a 3D TV, isn’t there other technologies to utilize first, including the number of HD LCD TV on the market as well as laptops that make use of LED and HD technology. Even Sky’s 3D channels are yet to hit their heights, so would it premature to buy a 3D TV at this moment in time?

 

Mainstream television programming will take longer to become 3D utilized. There has been some considerable interest in 3D technology from the BBC and ITV. Everyday shows are unlikely to use 3D until technology until the need for special glasses eliminated, according to Director of Futuresource Jim Bottoms. If you’re considering a 3D TV, there are a number of online retailers including Laskys.co.uk whose 3D TVs pages feature live price comparison from other online stores.

Direct TV to Offer 3D TV

0

Are you ready for television in the 3rd dimension, as both TV makers and pay television companies are making huge plans for 3D HDTV this year.

The big question is will consumers shell out more money for the new 3D HD technology. Nearly five years after HDTV started its deployment, big screen television sets finally plunged below the $1000 mark during the past Christmas shopping season. But the new 3D hi def sets start in the area of $2000, and quickly jump into the $5,000 range. That may just be too much money for many Americans to justify spending, especially coming out of a recession.

That is not holding big pay TV companies back.  Direct TV 3D content will be offered later this year. They announced plans to deploy three full time 3D channels at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The biggest question at this time is to whether there will be adequate 3D content to satisfy the consumer.  Filming and broadcasting television and movies like Avatar in 3D adds extra expense to the production of content, which means it will be a while before it is widely adopted.  In the meantime, the DirecTV offer for new customers will continue to focus on regular high definition channel content.

Manufacturers of 3D TV sets will have their own battle to wage. Consumers may not be in the mood to shell out more money for a new set.  Especially those who have upgraded and found the picture to their liking. Will 3D HDTV be more enticing? Or will they just be happy with the new hi def picture they have come to enjoy.  Another factor to consider is how many in the home will be able to watch at the same time.

Would you want to watch TV while wearing special glasses for the entire show?  And remember everyone in the home will need the glasses to watch at the same time. Special 3D spectacles are rumored to cost in the area of $50 or $60 per pair, meaning another investment for the household with a new 3D TV.
