3D TV WILL PHENOMENALLY PROGRESS SAYS SONY HEAD

The rise of the 3D TV is already here. The first 3D channel after being officially launched in the year 2010 by Sky the platform has taken to the fascination of one and all. In spite of being expensive, there is no saying of the things to come in the near future.

For once, there are already 3D TV sets available from Sony and other leading TV makers which don’t require the wearing of 3D Glasses. In fact the adoption rate of 3D TV technology is bound to beat even HD TV in the near future and simply surpass continually.

The 3D channel launched by Sky has been impressively received by the people. Add to this the good dose of 3D games which are as good as it can get and they are not complaining one bit. The UK and Europe markets may however see a set back because of the economic problems that these nations are facing.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) president, Andrew House was pretty observant and reflective of the current times when he spoke heavily about the present and future of 3D TV. Add to this the fact that he praised British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB) for being so instrumental in the superb growth of HD format. He is also equally confident that the 3D format is going to go the same way in the near future at that.

Considering the tremendous advancements as being made on the 3D platform, things certainly look greatly positive. The fact is that Mr. House is also at the helm of things as far as the video gaming operations in Europe are concerned. He thus spoke of the popular 3D games as also presented by Sky.

With the ever increasing availability and production of 3D TV content and the mass scale launching of glasses-free 3D TV sets, things definitely are looking bright, in 3D that is.

3D television next generation technology gives a real life experience to viewers. 3D TV technology works by sending a different image into each of your two different eyes. These images are then put together by your brain to create what appears to be an image that is escaping from your television set. There are many ways have been utilised to create this effect until this 3D technology gets perfect.

Then there is the factor of huge criticism that the platform still continues to get from a faction of people. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that took place in Las Vegas this year was full of promises and potentials that may as well come to life for once. Toshiba was among the giants that came up with 3D display panels that didn’t quite need glasses.

The ambitious Regza GL1 set shown at the fare was for the first time outside of Japan. Back when it had made its debut on the Japanese show Ceatec, the TV set met with rave reviews. The company is also looking at showing a 3D laptop, the Qosmio at the CES. In fact they went on to state that fully operational glasses-free 3D portable computers might as well be in the taking for customers by the end of 2011 itself.

There are these 20” and 12” glasses-free TV models already for the taking in Japanese markets. These 3D TV sets doesn’t require one to put on the mandatory 3D glasses to view.

At the heart of it these giant TV makers are simply looking at getting high definition 3D TV sets to the households of the average people and at as much reasonable costs as possible.

People everywhere wanted to get a sneak peek of the latest revolution in TV technology. The ones who did see were the ones mighty impressed.

Toshiba and Sony showed 3D LCD panels which could be easily viewed without the need of any 3D glasses. JVC, LG and Toshiba also came up with passive 3D displays which used polarizer glasses. But then these glasses were much lighter and less expensive when compared with the regular and heavier active-shutter LCD glasses which came with the first-generation 3D TV sets.

Sony also demonstrated models of 3D prototype flat panels in three sizes. These were namely 46" LCD with 2K resolution, a 56" LCD with 4K and a 24.5" OLED model with 2K resolution. These there models also required no glasses fro once.

But now comes this fare which had the major TV makers like Sony, LG and the others that for once should come as a respite to the common man. For the super expensive 3D format may soon enough be available for the average income households as well and they may thus watch the phenomenal Avatar experience come live in their living rooms. Sony Pictures' Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was also shown and for once the picture quality was fairly convincing.

Sony is looking at going full throttle with its 3D products. A lot more 3D titles on Blu-ray and 3D channels will be there for the taking this year. This is only going to get more aggressive as far as the promotion of 3D TV is concerned.
Toshiba is offering with its passive models of 3D TVs, two pairs of glasses with TL515 models. Then there are the additional glasses that one may have to purchase at $10 to $15 each unit. For once, the 3D evolution and the 3D revolution is here and big time at that.

This apart, even passive 3D displays were shown at the fair as presented by TV makers JVC, LG and Toshiba. These TV sets use light, inexpensive polarizer glasses and not the larger active-shutter LCD glasses that came with the first-generation of 3D TV sets.

Sony also showed three different glasses-less 3D prototype flat panels. These being a 46" LCD with 2K resolution, a 56" LCD with 4K and a 24.5" OLED model with 2K resolution. When it came to the viewing of animated films and 3D films at that, the effect was for sure convincing. The title that was shown was Sony Pictures ‘Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs’.

The picture quality was pretty much convincing. The 4K 65-incher was hands down the winner and far more superior of the lot. The resolution reduction lacked due to the lenticular overlay. But then that was made up for with the extra pixels. Sony is looking at giving complete focus and dedication to 3DTV this year.
