Watching television is one of the nation's favourite pastimes and this is the driver for technology companies to come up with new and advanced products that enhance our viewing experience. Plasma, LCD, and LED TVs are now being enhanced with 3D ready technology, allowing consumers to view television programmes and films in 3D where they have been filmed using 3D techniques. Flat screen televisions allowed this home appliance to become a subtle and sophisticated feature of the home, so light and thin that they could be wall-mounted. Their size and shape made them perfect for any and every home, no matter how big or how small and because they became quickly available in a huge variety of screen dimensions and at such affordable prices, they became a staple appliance in many UK homes.
Now consumers can not only enjoy an incredibly high quality picture in their own home, but they can also enjoy 3D, something which can really bring a programme or film to life. 3D television works by sending two separate images, one to the right eye and one to the left, using different colours (red and cyan) when filming. LCD shutter glasses are used to ensure that the cyan images are filtered out for one eye and red images are filtered out for the other, which is why glasses are needed to view 3D images both at the cinema and on home televisions.
3D TVs are usually LED or LCD TVs that are 3D ready, meaning that viewers can watch both normal (2D) and 3D shows. This means that there is no disadvantage to buying a 3D television; many people believe that there is no point buying a 3D television until there is more to watch that makes use of the technology, but the great low prices and the speed at which 3D images are being produced means that you will be ahead of the trend!
Films, documentaries, nature programmes, and sports games can really be brought to life when viewed in 3D, and it can make it really seem as though you are actually there and in amongst it. Many people enjoy that experience, particularly when watching things like football matches, as it is so much more realistic, which in turn makes it much easier to imagine that you are actually there than when watching it on 2D TV.
