With the introduction of 3D TVs, a lot of confusion has been created in the minds of consumers as they have to worry about things like HDMI 1.4, new 3D formats as well as trying to understand all they can about the various 3D TV technologies such as Active vs Passive 3D.

Viewing angle refers to the angle (off the axis of the TV screen) at which you view your television display. With the advent of 3D HDTVs, many of you have been wondering how the viewing angle of 3D TVs will affect their ability to deliver a realistic 3D experience. This guide, along with our article on the appropriate viewing angles for 3D TVs will help answer your questions regarding viewing angles with regards to 3D flat panel displays. Since the advent of LCD TVs, viewing angle has been a concern for consumers as lower end LCD flat screen panels are notorious for having poor viewing angle specifications. In these TVs, at oblique viewing angles the colors tend to desaturate, contrast is drastically affected and the screen brightness also changes thus giving pictures a very washed out appearance. Higher end LCD panels use newer flat panel technology to improve the viewing angle for these LCD TV giving them a total viewing angle of around +/- 45 degrees.

All the big name Consumer Electronics giants like Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, Philips, Vizio, etc. have announced a slew of Plasma and LCD 3D TVs that will be released over the course of 2010. These manufacturers are aggressively marketing 3D televisions and making a strong case for their introduction into the consumer’s homes. However, for many of us, this switch to 3D displays has left us confused with many unanswered questions about 3D display technology. This guide for buying 3D TVs has been compiled to help you choose the best 3D plasma or LCD TV within the limitations of your budget. In this guide, we will look at various aspects of 3D televisions and prioritize on the most important aspects of these TVs so you can make a well informed decision when purchasing your shiny new 3D TV.
