  1. The TV Manufacturing Giants Agree to Make Universal 3D Glasses

    Pansonic, Samsung, Sony, and XpanD came together to agree upon, making universal 3D glasses that will be compatible with all their 3D TV models.  This is great news for TV Lift Cabinet Owners who have 3D TVs.

    Currently, 3D TV owners are faced with a great hurdle.  If they want friends and family to come over to watch a movie or game, they must provide them with glasses.  What 3D TV owner is going to buy more than four pairs of 3D glasses valued at $100 a piece?  It doesn’t make economical sense.  In addition to that, even if their other friends have their own pair of 3D glasses, those glasses are still going to need to be compatible with their TV model.  Talk about a frustration experience - to have such great visual technology and no easy way to share it with friends and family.

    This is why 3D TVs sales have not skyrocketed as quickly as the flat panel TV.  Price and convenience dictate the consumer market.  It was evident that something needed to be done.  XpanD took

  2. 3D TV: The way of the future?

    Recently, 3D technology has exploded on the big screen. It was only a matter of time until TV followed suit. The advances being made in 3D imagery are ever-evolving.  However the idea of watching programs on a 3D TV mounted in a TV lift cabinet may not appeal to everyone.

    Reports from the Consumer Electronics Show highlight different forms of 3D entertainment that are in the early stages of development. Some systems require the consumer to sport 3D glasses similar to what you would wear to view a 3D Movie. Sometimes the glasses are more advanced and take on an appearance similar to a virtual reality head set.  The most intriguing technology in my opinion was a Sony television that alternated images hundreds of times per second to send different pictures to each eye – no glasses required! Imagine that in your TV lift cabinet! How far away this technology is from being commonplace is debatable. The introduction of new technology is further complicated by studies showing that consumers

  3. 3D TVs on Everyone’s Holiday Wishlist

    Likely to be the hottest TV gift this holiday season, 3D TVs are steadily rising in popularity and in technological capabilities. Couple that with a steady drop in prices, what more could customers ask for?

    As the media entertainment envelope continues to be pushed, moving from HD to Blu-ray and now 3D, the movie industry will continue to play to the highest bidder, and right now that’s the 3D niche. In 2010, there were 25 3D movies released in theaters, and all of those, of course, were or will be released in 3D DVD versions. In 2011, the number of 3D movies is expected to top 30.

    And by now everyone has heard that Lucasfilm Ltd. will be rereleasing the entire Star Wars saga in 3D, which will of course be followed by 3D DVDs. In Europe, Sky 3D is the world’s first full-time 3D TV station, which brings sports, movies and entertainment to its customers in 3D 100 percent of the time.

    Many of the 3D TV holiday specials this year will feature TV kits that include free 3D-viewing glasses (required

  4. Coming Soon: 3D TVs

    According to reports from the latest technology magazines and from demos at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), there's a new type of technology on the horizon when it comes to home entertainment. Many leading technology and electronic makers are unveiling plans for 3D capabilities in super thin, super sleek models of TVs set to hit sometime this year or next.

    Samsung is among the companies unveiling a new line of 3D home entertainment products, including five 3D TVs, following its partnerships with DreamWorks Animation and Technicolor. According to a recent release, one of the focus points is the new 9000 series of TVs, which features a super thin LED structure equivalent to the width of a pencil. In addition to Samsung, both LG and Toshiba have released plans of their own 3D TVs and a variety of 3D capable gaming systems and other tech gear have made debuts at CES this month from makers like Microsoft.
