Ultimately It's here, with the great line of 3D TV's hitting the electronics market as we speak. Individuals are getting excited, but nonetheless there is still many questions that need to be taking care of in regards to placing that big 3D movie theatre experience in your home. Today we will put those concerns to rest and explain the many challedges for your 3D TV.
With all the noise surrounding 3D TV's. There comes a lot of facts and rumors. In this article we'll provide the information that will clear some things up once and for all. First thing you will need 3D glasses if you want to watch 3D TV, but not to many individuals are excited about this, but it's a tiny price to pay for having a 3D movie theater in your living room. Plus many... if not all 3D TV's have the standard TV format (2D). 3D TV can be switched on and off at the user's will.
A great thing about 3D televisions is that some of your previous 2D collections can be watched in 3D. Right now there might not be very many 3D DVD collections out on the market, but you can bring new life to your old DVD or Blue Ray collection by converting them to 3D. Some 3D televisions like the Sony XBR52HX909 are going to have built in converters so you can view 3D TV right out of the box.
Unfortunately if you want a taste of 3D HD television then your gonna have to get a brand new TV. The hope of buying an adapter and installing it to convert your previous TV to 3D is UN-likely. That's because 3D TV requires a much higher refresh rate at about 240 Hz, which is almost triple the rate you'll find currently on the market for LCD TV's. For some 3D televisions that use active shutter technologies. You'll only be paying a slightly higher price on the TV, but the glasses may cost $50-$100 a pair. Other 3D TV's that use polarized film may be more expensive, but will offer cheaper 3D glasses.
3D TV has came and went throughout history, I bet you remember the virtual boy? So naturally people are a bit skeptical of 3D TV of being a success. It has a lot of challenges to over come in the living room. One thing is the ambient light reducing the 3D effect.
The biggest obstacle to the 3D appearance are those big clunky looking 3D glasses. Its almost seems like over 50% of the people do not want to wear them. Quite a few people actually complained of headaches and eye strain experiences. The demo TV's set up in there dark corners at local stores seem OK. 3D TV has had very few experiences in the living room. This being because it's so new.
So with the good and bad all ironed out and the 3D Television experience being so new. It seems difficult to make a decision. It seems the 3D market is scouring for some potential prospector's. The only issue it seems with consumers are the glasses. However remeber normal 2D television can be watched with a push of a button with the viewer's will. So problem solved.

Introducing 3D TV's
Tons of individuals have been chatting about 3D lately. There's 3D movies at the theater like Avatar and they want to be able to watch 3D at home on their television. In this editorial we'll be going over the commonly ask questions and the FAQ's of 3D TV!
Presently their is alot of 3D software out there like dvd's, but 3D TV's also give you a great picture even on non-3D things too. So if you're going to buy a tv. You may want to consider a new 3D TV. You'll get a great picture now and will be ready in the near future when more 3D content is available.
3D movies are actually filmed using 2 video cameras to simulate what we see with both of our eyes. Our brain puts these two perspectives and that creates the 3D effect. What's tricky is making sure you have the right perspective for each eye. Differnt TV manufactures are using differnt ways of acheiving 3D. Most 3D TV's use unique screens that can show two different vareities of an image at the same time. It does this by switching video frames very quickly. So the left eye and the right eye are shown two different versions. If your veiwing 3D TV without the glasses you will see a very blurry image. If you've seen movies like Avatar recently. Then your probaly familar with the 3D glasses. However the 3D glasses for televisions are completly differnt. There a lot more advance. These are special type of battery powered shutter glasses with liquid crystals. It sounds complicated but its really not. 3D TV's emmit out certain signals to balance the timing of the glasses. This means each lens in the 3D glasses darkens and blacks out an image of whats on the TV screen. So your left and right eye see both the left and right version at the same time.
Our brains are wired for 3D, that's how the world viewsus everyday. Our brains translate whats on a 3D TV screen in the same fashion as everyday life. One generally asked question is... Do the glasses create any flicker? The answer to that is no. The images change once every 1/100 of a second. So our brain just fills it in automatically.
If you want a 3D TV at home here's what you'll need. First you'll need a 3D ready TV, like the Samsung UN55C7000. Now there are 2 differnt routes to take. There are 3D ready TV's. Those have the built in technogoly that send out a signal to control the glasses. With that, you'll need to get a seperate admitter box. You'll want 3D glasses for everyone in the household that will be viewing. You'll want to make sure the 3D glasses are compatible with the 3D TV. This usually means buying the glasses that are the same brand as the TV itself. Also you will need a 3D signal. However most 3D TV's will be able to convert 2D video to 3D, but for top performance 3D at its best. You would want to see the images/video allready converted to 3D. You will also need HTMI cables.
So is 3D TV right for you? Obviously its worth looking into. If you liked 3D movies in the Imax theater, then getting a 3D TV in the living room would be the right thing to do.
