postheadericon 3d Tvs: The Craze Of This Century

The recent advances of digital technology have finally unfurled their latest and greatest contribution to consumer electronics. Say hello to the new age 3D TV, the appliance that brings in touching distance to the action. So, what is this 3D talk all about? Unlike a 2D TV, a three-dimensional television will let you perceive the images as if they are unfolding around you. Think Avatar or Ice Age 3 in an INOX and you will instantly be able to relate to the concept.

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 eyeglasses designed for a 3D television viewing are only required when watching a three-dimensional movie or a 3D game. Some people are misinformed about this gadget and think it is always required. In reality, these televisions can be turned into a normal 2-dimensional TV just by the flick of a button and you do not need glasses then.

With more and more people starting to look at buying three-dimensional TVs, the prices are bound to go down in the future. But, 3D TVs really sell themselves as the magic is there for all to see. So, check out a 3D television today and experience the next dimension in TV viewing.
