The most contemporary global buyer electronic show just finished in Vegas, Nevada.
This showcase of the newest electronic contraptions was controlled by 3D, the 3rd dimension.
In reality, C-NET just gave their “Best of CES” award to a Panasonic 3D HDTV ( Hi-D television ). Samsung are due to release their own 3D HDTV in 2010. It is not just Panasonic who are pushing 3D TV’s though , there were also offerings by Samsung, LG and Sony. If you have got a Playstation three, you could be interested to find out that Sony have asserted the PS3 can be firmware upgraded to support 3D content, which implies the forthcoming Blu-Ray 3D discs and Playstation 3D games will be compatible with existing Playstation three units. Naturally, the undeniable fact that Sony helped popularise Blu-Ray, sells PS3’s which can play Blu-Ray discs as well as PS3 games and has a motion picture studio ( Sony Photographs Home Entertainment ) committed to offering 3D Blu-Ray content gives them a head-start in selling their 3D-TV’s! One major hurdle with getting folks to upgrade their TVs to 3D is that there isn’t a lot of viewable content now. Regardless of the forthcoming launches of 3D channels by Sky ( in the United Kingdom ) and Directv ( in the United States ) in 2010, each of which say that 3D content can be delivered through their existing HD set top boxes, there still will not be much 3D content for them to send out. A second major hurdle is that everybody needing to observe the 3DTV content will need two special 3D glasses. The glasses are required to view the 3D effect, though the 3DTV’s will function very well as regular 2D screens for the time you are watching 2D content. So if you need to get 12 chums round to look at the soccer, they will all need their special glasses.
