It seems that 3D TV is becoming quite a desirable item for the consumer. According to surveys, around 46% of American people want to have a 3D television in their home. It is predicted that over 1.2 million consumers will purchase a 3D television by 2011. 3D television is one of the newest breakthroughs released by the television industry on to the market.
3D televisions have their advantages and disadvantages. The great advantage is you can experience excellent quality pictures in three dimensional images from the comfort of your own living room. You don’t have to go to a theater to enjoy 3D films. It is also has great potential for people who love to play computer and video games.
The disadvantages include the following. 3D television is not yet fully developed and is still in its infancy. You have to watch 3D movies, events, or channels using 3D glasses. You cannot see the three dimensional images without wearing these. Plus, you have to sit directly in front of the television for you to see the images as it is not a possible to view effectively at a wide angle.
Purchasing a 3D television is also more expensive than other television conventional models. Normally, it is higher by around $200 to $300 than a full high definition TV. There are also people who might have problems watching 3D images. These are people with amblyopia also called lazy eye and people with astigmatism. People that have astigmatism will have problems detecting the depth of the 3D images.
3D TVs can already be purchased now in the market. Mitsubishi and Samsung have already begun selling 3D ready televisions to the market. Some leading television manufacturers have already started manufacturing the 3D television and some are developing how they can offer 3D television without use of the 3D glasses.
With the recent release of some block busting Hollywood movies in three-dimensional format, most notable of all being Avatar, which became the largest grossing movie of all time, 3D technology has been back in the spot light. 3D television technology is actually nothing new, in fact three dimensional film technology has been around since the 1950’s.
3D is quite simply the filming of motion picture in such a way as to increase the viewer’s perception of depth, creating the illusion of the film jumping off the screen in such a way as you feel like you can reach out and touch it. The high cost involved in the production of 3D movies is the reason that there has been such a long gap between the creation of the technology and the recent release of televisions. Three-dimensional movies had a surge on the late 1980’s and 1990’s when IMAX cinemas brought them to the general public. During that era there where attempts to break the 3D home television market, many people will remember the rather flimsy cardboard glasses with red and blue plastic lenses. This turned out to be a passing fad as there was limited TV to watch and quality was quite low. It would be fair to say that the latest re-emergence of television technology is here to stay this time.
