3D TV

Recently, I was browsing for the latest technology news and I stumbled across an article that exactly reflected my feelings on 3D TV.  Personally, I think the technology is exciting however I’m not convinced that it is something I’d want for my TV lift cabinet.  Between the price and the extra gadgets (namely, the glasses), it just doesn’t appeal to me. I’m perfectly happy with my HD TV. Apparently, I am not alone.

The article I’m referring to is on CNET.com and it discusses why people do not want 3D TV. The manufacturers say CNET hasn’t done enough to convince consumers that this is something they should have.  However according to CNET, the cost of 3D TVs and having to wear the dreaded glasses is proving to be an unfavorable combination for consumers.

When I watch TV, I want to collapse on the couch, turn on the TV and relax. I might have my laptop on my lap while I simultaneously browse the web. I don’t want to have to put on my 3D glasses to watch my favorite shows. I also like

This year you can watch the Wimbledon Championship on your 3D-TV.  Rise up your TV Lift Cabinet, grab your 3D glasses and enjoy the finals as if you were there.  All coverage of the men’s singles semi-finals and the ladies and men’s singles finals will be captured in 3D.

Sony has been working hard with The All England Lawn Tennis CLUB (AELTC) to bring this event to its full viewing potential.  Sony will be handling all the theatrical distributions with the help of their company’s theatrical distribution partner, SuperVision Media.

“We are delighted to be working with The All England Lawn Tennis Club to bring such a high profile sporting event to consumers around the world in 3D,” said Fujio Nishida, president of Sony Europe. “Watching tennis in high-definition 3D is a stunning experience, bringing the speed of the action and the emotions of the occasion to life; it is as close to the atmosphere and excitement of Centre Court as actually being there. With the Live 3D Wimbledon experience

Smart, connected TVs clearly offer more entertainment options than traditional flat-screen TVs, and those who already own them seem to enjoy accessing their apps, favorite websites and watching 3-D movies, all from the comfort of their homes. In fact, smart TVs were (and still are) great companions to an innovative TV lift cabinet, which raises and lowers your flat-screen TV with the touch of a button. But some analysts worry that smart TVs could experience slower than expected growth because of customer “FUD” (fear, uncertainty and doubt).

When the first flat-screen and HDTVs hit the market in the last decade and then dropped significantly in price in the latter half of the last decade, upgrading one’s TV seemed to be an easy choice. Many customers were able to upgrade into a larger screen, better picture quality and a much slimmer unit (perfectly suited for a TV lift cabinet) without emptying their wallets. The features and benefits customers were getting were clear-cut and understandable.

3D TVs are more than a trend; they reflect a substantial shift in television and movie-making technology and an opportunity for new investments in the home theater experience. 3D TVs have been flying off the showroom floors during this 2010 holiday shopping season, just in time for the 30+ 3D movies coming out during the next two years. And with 3D-capable Blu-ray players becoming more readily available and dropping in price, many families will be enjoying more 3D movies in 2011 on TVs popping out of their TV lift cabinet.

The one caveat, however, is that 3D TV- and movie-viewing requires the use of 3D glasses, and with any profitable business model, television manufacturers have found a way to make their 3D TVs specialized to their own brand of 3D glasses. So a Sony 3D TV requires Sony 3D glasses, and a VIZIO 3D TV requires a pair of VIZIO 3D glasses. Where this seems to cause the greatest

During the 2010 FIFA World Cup this past summer, which drew 24.3 million viewers during the final match, ESPN conducted a survey asking viewers to share their thoughts about 3D versus HD stations. The result, though not as hotly contested as the match between Spain and Netherlands, clearly showed that viewers were not only comfortable watching sports in 3D – they even preferred it over HD.

ESPN Research + Analytics, the sports network’s research arm, used an experimental survey design in its study, which included the use of perception analyzers, eye gaze and electrodermal activity. With these new methods, ESPN was able to include factors such as overall viewing enjoyment, fatigue, novelty effect and advertising impact into its results. For fairness among 3D TV makers, the study also included five different manufacturers in its testing.

The results are said to reflect what has already been said in the industry – 3D TV-viewing is more enjoyable and does a better job of engaging fans in event-based
