Executive Summary 3DTV Tecnology By G Haas
Have you heard about the latest technology for 2010? The answer is 3DTV or three-dimensional television viewing in your home. Even with the film Avatar, that won a couple of Oscars in 2010, you need special glasses which were included in the admission price at the movie theater. So if you saw the movie you have already had a taste of the 3D movie experience.
3DTV Manufacturers
Just think how neat it would be to share this experience with your family in your living room. The manufacturers that began selling these 3D TV's in late 2009 were: Mitsubishi, Phillips, Sharp and Samsung. Sony released their version late in 2009 with the LX900, HX900 and HX800. Viewing requires individuals to wear special glasses which come with the TV. The glasses offer a 120 degree viewing angle. Sony's glasses are powered by a battery and are synced with the television set. Besides Sony, Samsung and Mitsubishi have also released 3DTV's this year.
Differences With 3DTV?
Unfortunately only 2 pair comes with the TV; therefore if you have a family larger than 2 you will need to purchase additional glasses. As for interesting features, 3D TV's can be viewed in normal mode. Samsung has partnered with Hollywood to debut films using the 3D format. The media for such movies is Blu-ray. The number of movies should increase as time goes on.
As for the cost, in general the 3D TV's cost anywhere from $600 to $900 more than regular TV's of the same size viewing screen.
