3-d Tv Sets: The Trend Of The Millennium

By Cinderella Baity


3D TVs, in fact are a technology revolution of the modern world and people across the globe are fascinated ever since they were first introduced. 3D is the abbreviation for three-dimension. Normal televisions provide a 2D view. In a 3D atmosphere, you will be convinced that things are happening around you. For those who still don't have an idea, just go to a theatre around you showing a movie in 3D and you will know the feeling.

Generally, you need to wear a pair of glasses specially designed with polarized lenses such as Disney 3D or Real D to watch 3D movies, which was once the sole capability of movie theatres, but not anymore. 3D TVs are now in the market and you can have the real experience simply sitting at your homes. Watch your favorite games as if you are right there between the players or stay close to a battle in a movie. Can you even imagine the thrill?

Phillips, Sharp, Mitsubishi and Samsung introduced 3D TVs in 2009. In 2010, the list increased as new brands were introduced by Panasonic, Sony and LG. The screen size and the brand generally dictate the price of a 3D TV model, which varies in the $600 to $900 range. However, with certain added features such as Toshiba's recently introduced glasses free 3D television models, the prices surge towards the $1400 - $2800 mark.

The glasses designed for 3D TVs come with active shutter lenses. They cover an angular area of 120 degrees. A battery provides the power. With each television, the manufactures provide one pair of glasses and additional eyeglasses must be purchased for simultaneous watching by more than one member. An additional pair should cost you something like 100$ and it is quite durable so they are a good investment. However, remember to check beforehand, as compatibility with your brand of 3D television may be an issue later.

The special eyeglasses only work for three-dimensional watching, and cannot be used on your normal TVs. One rumor doing the rounds is that you will always need to have the glasses on when viewing a high definition 3D television, which is a myth. Actually, you can switch between two-dimensional and three-dimensional view and thus do not need the glasses for 2D mode.

With the public getting more and more interested in three-dimensional TVs, the manufacturers are looking to raise production and with prices set to lower, this can be good for the average consumer. Overall, the exciting world of three-dimensional viewing is on course to finally come out of the science fiction movies into the premises of everyday reality.
