3D TV MODELS

                                                       

Technology is around the corner and we must be prepared to embrace it; today a 3D television model is difficult to find in the market, but we just can’t say we haven’t heard of it. 3D is the new concept that multimedia experts are working with nowadays, the reason: three dimensional devices will be the future and we are getting closer to it, day after day. What is a 3D television model?, it is a tv capable of reproducing images in three dimensions, which is the best benefit we get?, the idea of feeling ourselves inside the movie or video game we are watching or playing.

3d-television-model-deviceGamers and multimedia fans affirm that this new concept will change our way of watching reality, since a simple movie, will take part of our real life. We will be able of being the star of a film, or just turn into our favorite game character. A 3D television model is a LCD or Plasma screen which provides a depth sense without using special 3d glasses; how do we get this effect?, the answer is quite complicated but we will explain the process in a understandable language.

Due to small mirrors, placed in each screen pixel, we obtain an image for each of our eyes (the same as holography), and in this way, our brain uses the difference between both images to achieve the effect we are looking for. Another feature we must remark in a 3D television model is the stereo sound, which is sharper and clearer, helping the image to get the necessary impact. 3D television is the new way of experiencing multimedia contents, thanks to a 3D television model, we will be able to have our cinema at home, and besides be part of an horror, action or adventure movie. Although these devices cannot be found in the open market yet, since just a few brands have achieved perfection, multimedia experts believe that by the end of 2010, we will be able to buy some prototypes prepared to entertain our families.
A 3D television model or 3D glasses?

A 3D television model was created in order to replace 3D glasses, but will these devices achieve its aim?. There are many advantages we can obtain from 3D televisions, but at the same time there are some facts that we can consider disadvantages, one of them, and perhaps the most important is the price. A 3D television model is around usd$ 6.000, we are referring to a medium size LCD screen, it means that the cheapest tv would cost at least usd$ 4.000; only wealthy people will be able to buy one these prototypes, or we will have to save up to please our wishes. On the contrary, 3D glasses are much less expensive, since electronic stores sell them from usd$ 100, and the effect they offer is quite similar than a 3D television model.

3d-television-model-multimediaThe main disadvantage of 3D glasses is related to its number of users: only one; this means that if we desire to watch a 3D movie with our family, we must buy glasses for everyone. Here is where 3D televisions become important: they are capable of reproducing 3D images for those who are watching the screen, with no need of specific devices. The image of a 3D television model is also much better than the one we get in 3D glasses, since its technology is more advanced and sophisticated; trough them, we are capable of observing different details of objects, faces, movements and more.

Who experienced both systems, admit that 3D televisions are much more interesting since they can be adapted to games and films, meanwhile, if we only want to play 3D games, we should choose 3D glasses. Our modest opinion says that if we are fans of multimedia, virtual reality and video games, we should invest our money in a 3D television model, we won’t certainly regret; at the same time, we should be patient since the latest models exhibited are not still finished and presents some electronic inconvenient. So by the end of next year, we will be able to choose among several models and brands which will provide a better guarantee and confidence. For now, the best idea is to keep on watching 3D reality through glasses since this alternative is cheaper, practical and more accessible. So, do not hesitate at the time of buying a 3D television model, but at the same time, do not choose the first one we see in any store; ask for some advice to technicians, experts or multimedia engineers who will probably will tell you which is the best alternative and how much money invest in these appliances. This is the only way you will have the guarantee that you are buying the correct appliance and won’t regret later.

3D imaging technology has taken a huge leap forward in capability over the last few years, and we're now seeing the first mass production of 3D TV models from the leading 3D TV manufacturers - each of who are going all out to win the race to get those 3D TVs and the best of their 3D TV models on to the shelves and into our homes.

Though the first of the 3D movies made its debut way back in 1922, it has taken nearly a century for the technology to truly revolutionize film viewing. Originally, the images in 3D films were fuzzy and you had to watch it through red and blue 3D glasses, leading to discoloration. These drawbacks caused 3D to fade from the spotlight in the 1980s. However, the technology has recently been almost completely re-invented, providing true color, crystal-clear images on movie theater screens all over the world. Recent films such as Avatar, Clash of the Titans, and Alice in Wonderland have once again whetted the public's appetite for 3D content.

Up to very recently, there's been only one problem: Until recently the 3D form was restricted to major multiplexes. This isn't the case anymore, with a number of high profile 3D TV networks making a push throughout 2010 and into 2100 to bring 3D content right into the homes of the viewing audience. Panasonic, LG Electronics, Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba have all announced 3D TV models that will not only bring the true, high quality 3D excitement of Avatar to the small screen, but they're working on bringing the third dimension to broadcast and cable television content as well.

Toshiba isn't even waiting for 3D networks to start broadcasting. It's been one of the first off the block with 3D TV models by introducing the new ZX900 series Cell TV which boasts unique conversion technology, allowing this model to convert traditional 2D broadcasts into 3D in real time. Viewers will be able to watch previously recorded 2D shows or movies in 3D. This �smart� Toshiba TV will be available fall 2010 in both 55-inch and 65-inch screens, though it does still require the use of 3D glasses.

Panasonic, on the other hand, is pushing forward more quickly. As the biggest manufacturer of plasma 3D TV models in the industry, Panasonic is set to leap ahead of the pack. The company can make the push because adapting plasma TVs to 3D technology is more cost effective than other 3D manufacturing methods. At the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Panasonic unveiled its newest television model, the VT25 series, which was their first 3D-ready plasma TV. It's been available in 50, 54, 58, and 65 inches and produces full high definition 1080-pixel images.

LG Electronics joined the fray, too, with their newly announced LX9500 series of 3DTVs, which became available in May 2010. These new models offered sizes between 47 and 55 inches, and were the first 3D-capable full LED 3D TV sets. LG's unique placement of the LEDs behind the LCD allows for a stunning contrast resolution of 10,000,000:1. This model can even accommodate a webcam for Skype video calls.

3D technology also has been incorporated into Sony's Bravia series of LCD 3D TV televisions. Combining Sony's proprietary high frame rate technology and the active-shutter 3D glasses system, the Bravia series will be able to reproduce the sharp, three-dimensional images seen at big cinemas, this time in the comfort of your living room.

Another 3D contender, Samsung, created a bevy of new models. Both their UNC7000 and UNC8000 series of plasma televisions are 3D-capable, ranging in size from 50 inches up to 63. But Samsung didn't stop at plasmas. The UNC900 series is a 3D-ready range of LED televisions, with models up to 65 inches in screen size.

If you're in the market to buy a 3D TV, the Samsung 3D TV models are available in most retail stores and online from a variety of electrical retailers. Samsung models come with built in 2D to 3D conversion capability. There's a wide range from of TVs on offer from all the other TV makers including such names as Vizio, Mitsubishi, and Phillips. The TV makers don't stop with just 3D TVs either, there's a wide range of 3D Blu Ray players on the market that extend your choice of what content to watch on your new 3D TV.

It may have taken almost 90 years, but the 3D revolution has begun, and the technology is poised to make its way into home theaters across the globe!
