After many years of hype 3D TV became a reality on 22nd April 2010 when John Lewis became the first UK retailer to sell 3D TV for the home. The rave reviewed Samsung C7000 is a 40" 3D Ready High Definition television that is available online and at the company's flagship Oxford Street store.
The Samsung UE40C7000 is a superb 2D HD TV as well as being 3D Ready; At just 3cm thin the LED television offers full 1080p HD resolution, SRS Theatre Surround Sound and a built-in Freeview HD tuner.
Following on from the worldwide record-breaking success of 3d films like Avatar, the next generation of TV sets are almost here.
Armed with nothing more than a 3D television and a pair of 3D glasses, you could soon be experiencing the breathtaking realism of three dimensional movies in your own home. 3D TV is set to revolutionise home viewing the same way that colour screens changed black and white tv forever.
Companies that have so far announced plans to launch 3D TV include Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Toshiba and Mitsubishi. Hollywood studios including Disney and Dreamworks are already developing a number of 3D titles for both cinema and home use. Sky Television has also announced it will launch a 3D Tv channel in 2010.
“Well over a million homes have future-proofed themselves with Sky + HD, a platform for choice, quality and future innovation. With Sky + as standard, our customers are already enjoying amazing picture and sound quality on a range of high-quality HD channels which cater to the interests and passions of the whole family.
“Next year we will make our HD boxes work even harder for customers by launching Europe’s first 3D TV channel, as well as introducing a comprehensive video-on-demand service to complement Sky + and the current Sky Anytime service.
“3D is a genuinely ‘seeing is believing’ experience, making TV come to life as never before. Just like the launch of digital, Sky + and HD, this is latest step in our commitment to innovating for customers.”
Sky launched the UK’s first national HD service in May 2006 which has since become Europe’s most successful HD service. Today Sky + HD customers can watch 33 HD channels from leading brands such as Sky Movies, Sky Sports, Channel 4, Disney, MTV, BBC, Discovery, FX, Sky1 and National Geographic. Sky + HD customers can choose up to 400 hours a day – or 13,000 hours a month – of quality HD content, which is significantly more than any other TV platform.
Further channels are due shortly, including ESPN HD (August 2009), and Sky News HD (Spring 2010), with a view to growing the offering to 50 channels over time.
Further details on Sky’s pull VOD and 3DTV services, including pricing, packaging and entitlement, will be announced closer to launch.
There will be no need for customers to upgrade their set-top boxes to access to the new 3D channel, as all existing Sky + HD boxes are already ‘3D Ready’. However, customers will need a new 3D Ready TV, which are expected to be on sale in the UK during 2010. More details on the channel, including timing, pricing and packaging will be provided in due course.
The human eye’s ability to see things with variable depth and wide perspective is based on how the brain processes two separate images, as received by each eye. When someone looks at something the brain is able to merge two separate images together to create a field of vision which is both three-dimensional and allows the viewer to focus on specific areas within any given scene.
