subject: A 3d Blu-ray Player Brings An Exciting New Viewing Experience To Your Home [print this page] After we have only just managed to get to grips with all of the latest television technology surrounding flat plasma, LCD and LED screens, high definition TV, internet TV and Blu-ray discs, manufacturers have already started to take the next step towards bringing 3D television to the home.
In the last few years we have become accustomed to watching films in 3D at the cinema and the majority of major blockbusters are now released with the option of 3D viewings. However, the idea of bringing this technology to the home is still relatively new and if you are interested in getting on board then it certainly pays to do some careful research prior to making any purchases.
If you want to be able to watch 3D TV at home you will first need to invest in a 3D TV that is capable of displaying the full resolution 3D picture. There are lots of 3D capable TVs on the market and it is likely that the prices will continue to fall as the technology becomes more popular with the consumer. In addition to the TV you will also need special 3D glasses. These can be quite costly so try to look for a TV package that includes the glasses as standard.
There are currently only a few TV broadcasts in 3D given that the technology is still fairly new so if you want to watch films in 3D then you will need to purchase a 3D Blu-ray player. Some of the existing games consoles, like the Sony PS3, claim that they will be able to handle the large 3D media files but there is a question mark over whether they will be of the same full-resolution quality as the 3D Blu-ray player. Despite being a very new home gadget, the 3D Blu-ray player is surprisingly affordable so if you are thinking of upgrading your home cinema it is well worth considering.
There are a few models available on the market today so you will need to research which player offers the best value for money. Try to look for a design that has been well manufactured and offers sufficient storage capacity for accessing online media. Many regular Blu-ray discs now come with the popular BD-live features so it is important to make sure you will be able to take advantage of these by having enough memory. Other features include dual HDMI 1.3 and 1.4 outputs for connecting to an existing AV receiver and a durable touch screen that can be found on the Samsung 3D Blu-ray player.
