Everything is going 3D at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year. I believe it was impressive though I haven’t got the chance to go there, but hopefully I’ll try to catch up with CES 2011 next year.
LCD TV, Plasma TV & LED TV are legends, I think they’re going to be replaced a little too soon with what we call 3D HDTV

Yes, 3DTV was unveiled at the CES just couple of hours ago and I’ve read some articles about it, those tech writers are fast no doubt about that.
This revolutionary TV was unveiled by some of the biggest names in the industry Samsung, Sony, Sharp and Toshiba.
3D glasses which comes together with the TV (yes, it still needs 3D glasses) are battery-powered complete with LCD lenses that quickly open and shut in sync with the blinking left-and-right images on the HDTV screen. (Well, that’s something new) The effect is pretty similar to what you see in a theater.
Is it any good? Well the 3D image on the TV does seem to stretch behind the screen as reported by Ben Patterson from Yahoo!
However according to Ben Patterson, there are some flaws that could be a little problem about this new TV technology
Glare
Some HDTV screens are glossy and this actually affect the 3D experience and you can’t imagine how annoying the glare is. Of course you’ll want to have your 3D TV in a darkened room, that being said; this is not likely something that you would set in the living room. Lightning conditions is important, otherwise you won’t get the best out of your new 3D TV system.
Flicker
The 3D TV system that includes HDTV and the active-shutter 3D glasses are made to have refresh rates blazingly fast you won’t notice any flicker at all. However mostly during bright scenes from a movie there is a moment when you will slightly see distracting flickers.
Weird-looking 3D
This could be one of the biggest issues for the upcoming 3D TV networks. While the 3D trailers of “Avatar” looks blatantly amazing and realistic some of the clips during the 3D TV previews were not. The effect looks simply weird. This issue actually has more to do with the sources or the videos that were playing and not the TV set.
2D-to-3D conversion

The 3D TV works I believe is by turning 2D images into 3D images on the fly. Some models of the 3DTVs are promising like Samsung and Toshiba made a good job on this for sure. The effect looks fair, it’s not great. Watching soccer math 3D doesn’t look like what you can imagine; it’s pretty fair or worth watching it with 3D glasses on. You’ll get some kind of new experience. Remember some clips might be more complex than another, don’t expect the machine to turn Star Wars movies to 3D on the fly like it did with other clips.
Pricey 3D glasses
The 3D glasses cost somewhere in the $100 range, and there’re only two being given with every brand new set of 3DTV purchase. Sony has committed two pairs of 3D glasses for its TV models while Panasonic will only give you a pair. If you’re having thoughts about having a 3D TV party with, say dozen of friends, that’s $1200 worth of 3D glasses! I bet you can get another new set of 3DTV with that price.
