First 3D TV | Did you know? | 

Samsung will be the first company to bring mass produced 3D TVs to the market.

The company just released the following statement:

"...began producing LED and LCD compatible panels for 40-inch, 46-inch and 55-inch full-HD 3D TVs using ‘3D Active Glasses’ this month, employing Samsung’s exclusive true 240Hz technology.

Samsung’s true 240Hz technology delivers full-HD viewing in 2D, and also smooth, natural, full-HD 3D images that can vividly capture rapid movements."

Introducing the first 3D TV sets to the Avatar spoiled movie community will yield tremendous success for Samsung Electronics, as they will decidedly set the standards for whomever will follow their footsteps.

What was previously addressed with more questions than answers - how to project 3D images on a home TV set, has been answered in Samsung's press release: "Samsung’s new 3D Active Glasses technology first blocks the left and then right lens, causing a momentary lag when images are shown to each eye to achieve more lifelike 3D images. The term, ‘3D Active Glasses,’ was selected as an official term by the Glasses Standardization Working Group of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) earlier this year.

The polarized glass method previously used in 3D glasses produced separate images for the left and right eyes, resulting in half the resolution of two-dimensional pictures as only half of the screen can be viewed through each polarized filter. Brightness was also lowered because of the polarized filter."

Samsung will introduce several models ranging between 19 inches and 65 inches. The 65" takes the leading position as 9000 line. The TVs will be released with the required active shutter glasses and content from Dreamworks

If you are a movie buff or sports watcher, I'm reasonably certain that you will have your eyes set on this release, coming to your detailed electronics retailer in March 2010!
