3D Tv Systems And Real 3D Dvd Are Coming And Will Change How We Watch Tv
People, old enough to remember the last time round, are sure to dismiss this as just another flash in the pan. How wrong could they be…this time 3D is coming with the whole entourage. Real 3D DVD with a 3D DVD player to play them on along with the 3D TV systems, oh yes, and those 3D glasses – but not as you know them Jim!
You can take this as gospel, 3D is here again. But this time round it is not just for the cinema as 3d tv systems will allow real 3d dvd to be played on your very own 3d dvd player and all from the comfort of your own armchair.
Even though the technology can be dated back to the start of the last century, it has not always enjoyed a good press. Some of the movies released in three dimension where frankly rubbish and to a certain point this killed any chance of it becoming main stream–though if you ask some they would maintain it was those appalling 3D glasses that put the final nail in the coffin.
So what has changed? It really stems to the technology being thrust back into the limelight, over the last couple of years, by recent Hollywood block busters and Disney productions. This has been galvanized by the massive success of Avatar, released in three dimension, becoming the highest grossing film of all time. But Avatar was just one of 17 3D movies in 2009 with at least another 12 already planned for 2010.
The speed of which the biggest players in the consumer electronics industry have jumped on this, and brought the technology to the point of release, has been nothing short of staggering. It seems the only thing that has been holding the mass launch going ahead has been the content; a lack of 3D Dvds, players and programs.
That has all changed as we left the noughties and entered this new decade. Amazon have jumped aboard for the ride and now offer real 3d Dvd Movies, documentaries, series and music dvd that can be played on either regular 2D or new 3D Blu Ray DVD players. They also recently had a small batch of the first ever 3D Blu Ray DVD players, the Samsung BD-C6900. These soon sold out at a price of $399 and at the time of writing no announcement has been made regarding when they will be back in stock. One good point on the subject of 3d dvd players is that the Sony PS3 is able to play 3D discs with a simple firmware update.
The broadcaster BSkyB is also getting in on the action early. Their recent broadcast of the Arsenal-Manchester United game in 3D, played to a small group of nine pubs across the UK and Eire, took the industry by surprise. This followed their announcement that a full 3D channel will be available, to existing and new Sky HD+ box subscribers, from April of this year. ESPN are due to launch their 3D channel in June and broadcast some 80 or more sports events in 3D and the Discovery/Imax/Sony partnership will have their own version before the year is out.
So you can see, this time round, with the promise of real 3d dvd and broadcasts along side of a 3d dvd player and 3d tv systems to watch it all on. Yes, 3D is here to change the way we watch TV for ever.

Star Trek (Two-Disc Edition) $2.96 J.J. Abrams’ 2009 feature film was billed as “not your father’s Star Trek,” but your father will probably love it anyway. And what’s not to love? It has enough action, emotional impact, humor, and sheer fun for any moviegoer, and Trekkers will enjoy plenty of insider references and a cast that seems ideally suited to portray the characters we know they’ll become later. Both a prequel and a reboot,… |
