We are being also told, by everyone with obviously any good slight vested interest, of the fact that new revolution in home entertainment will be lcd 3d tv. You can take it as read you happen to be able to buy a 3D tv well before the year is away.
For anyone who are old enough to recall the pretty appalling attempt during a 3D film, Jaws 3, funding 1983, it will come as perfectly logical that the technology dates back to some time in the early 1970's. We have come some distance since then. The recent release and box clinic success of movies including Avatar and Monsters vs Aliens, both of which commanded a much higher ticket price than a good 2 D screening and therefore the planned big budget releases in 2010 of Tron Legacy, Shrek Without end After, Alice in Wonderland 3D plus many countless others shows the public are taking to technology this time game.
The big consumer electronic products manufacturers have recognized this and the Consumer Electronics Show in January this coming year turned into nothing more than a bit of 3D one upmanship for those companies. Ever where you turned manufacturers Panasonic, LG, Sony and Samsung where lining as much their floor shows with the mantra seeming to be "mines larger than yours", with Panasonic taking bragging rights by their fantastic 150 plus inches of plasma 3D television set. They all have new lines ready for release this year and Sony do possess 3D ready Bravara TV available for purchase right now.
One of the main gripes about 3D in the last has centered around a image flicker. It does seem that HDTV 1080p plus the latest generation of LCD 3d images glasses has put paid to our problem. These latest 3D glasses are really a million miles from the blue/red lens numbers used by the early days. They also have powered shutters that are actually synced, using radio hills, with the projected left and right eye image. They can also right now be purchased with Bluetooth technology when i saw these being promo'd inside the show.
So we have the 3D LCD TV, there is the 3D lcd spectacles or contact lenses both working together, but then why not the content? 2010 is a year that 3D broadcasting becomes main stream. There are many different big media companies spending so much time to push the technology forward rather than for those with full pockets. They needed to match the commitment of the manufacturers to give this instantly to the masses or one more time it stood a possibility of stalling before it really gets started. BSkyB are well constantly in their testing and I might not be surprised if their projected autumn 2010 launch isn't really brought forward, with their sports broadcasts of a portion of the main summer sporting events getting onto 3D. Across the pond ESPN have committed to approximately 100 broadcasts during 2010 in 3D. Put those with all the tri-company partnership between Sony, Imax and the Discovery Channel to grant consumers with 3D broadcasts numerous experts see this is gonna happen very soon.
Its been proven but the LCD 3D TV market is going to get pretty hectic and therefore the consumers choice of which unfortunately, what and where to invest in a 3D tv will probably just get harder in the future, because we all understandthat historically this happens.
