Are 3D TVs The Right Home Entertainment Solution For You
?
There are constantly new and wonderful developments in technology, and it is the consumer electronics and home entertainment sector that has most people buzzing and looking forward to the next steps that we will see. The latest of these developments has been 3D TVs, or Stereoscopic Televisions to give them their scientific name, and with movies such as Avatar and Cloudy, With a Chance of Meatballs making the 3D experience much more appealing as well as other features like sports.
3D TV sets are much like other high definition sets apart from them having fast enough refresh rates (how quickly the image is updated on the screen) that it can process the 3D image properly. These TV sets also come with special 3D glasses that are required in order to get the desired effect; they are nothing like the old red and blue 3D glasses and allow you to see 3d images in full colour, minus the headaches people used to cite as a reason for avoiding 3D films in the past.
These glasses use special shutter technology and so will need powering via a battery; these glasses may not be enough for your family with many sets coming with just two or four pairs. Watching regular television programmes will be fine for everyone but when you are watching a 3D broadcast or movie then there may be a scramble for the glasses unless you buy extra pairs.
Whilst the effect produced is impressive for most who view these 3D sets obviously there will be some people who do not like the technology or may even feel nauseous when watching a 3D TV image, certain kinds of motion sickness can be triggered by 3D TVs so you may not be interested in one of these newer TV sets and be quite happy with a regular high definition television instead.
The introduction of these 3D TVs may actually help you when buying a new HD TV even if you don't plan to buy a 3D TV as the price of regular high definition televisions has been lowered as the new 3D sets have come out. It is worthwhile considering looking at some 3D capable TVs when buying as they may have other features you find impressive and worthwhile investing in.
