With the Blu-ray 3D specification finalised and Sky's 3D TV channel due, the UK faces another telly revolution.Forget the digital switchover, 1080p 'Full HD' and web-connected TV widgetry. Jump-out-of-the-screen 'stereoscopic 3D' is the technology that has set everybody a-buzzing. Trying to describe it is like trying to paint a symphony. So what will you need to watch 3D TV? Who's doing it? When? And will your existing HDTV work? Carry on reading to find out the answers to these and many more 3D TV question
Who is making 3D TVs?
Every major manufacturer worth their corporate salt has 3D TV plans.
3D's fortunes started to turn around when the technology became a hit with blockbuster-fatigued cinema audiences.Following on from CES 2009 (where 3D TV was very much in the 'concept' stage), CES 2010 was a showcase for some of the 3D TVs we will actually be able to buy.Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, LG and Panasonic all unveiled 3D-capable HDTVs. Samsung is keen to be at the front and has proclaimed that it is "forging the future of home entertainment in a new dimension." They used this year's CES to unveil several 3D TVs, a Blu-ray player and a matching home audio system.Leading the Samsung line is the flagship Series 9 3D TVs. These ultra-thin, edge-lit LED sets are no thicker than 0.3 inches and will be available in screen sizes up to 65 inches. Samsung's integrated 3D technology will also enable 2D to 3D video conversion in real-time. Finally, each 9000 model ships with a luxurious touchscreen Wi-Fi remote, presumably to divert you from the fact that the TV will cost a small fortune.
All of the premium models in its LED TV lineup for 2010 (namely the 7000, 8000 and 9000 series TVs) will include the company's built-in 3D processor. Pair one with Samsung's BD-C6900 Blu-ray 3D deck, add a copy of Monsters vs. Aliens and you'll be good to go. For more on the Series 9 LED screen click here.Sony's 3D plan
Sony also set its 3D stall out at CES, whipping the wraps off of its Signature LX900 Series HDTVs. Like Samsung's 9000 models, the LX900 is a showcase for all the advanced TV tech that Sony has to offer. So expect Full HD 3D, 200MHz Motionflow Pro technology, built-in Wi-Fi, DLNA connectivity and a bold design inspired by Arthur C Clarke's alien object from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
A step below the Signature range, Sony's new 'Cinematic'-badged HDTVs incorporate the HX900 and HX700 models. These 46-inch and 52-inch models feature full HD LED screens, Motionflow 200Hz PRO & Image Blur Reduction technology and are also 3D-capable. The only element missing is the integrated Wi-Fi.LG backs bothboth Passive and Active Shutter systems with different sets.Meanwhile, Panasonic's new VT20 plasmas deliver some of the best picture quality we have clocked on a 3D-capable telly.
Finally, Toshiba's ZX900 Series HDTV utilises the power of the multi-core Cell processor to redefine what a TV is capable. The Cell, a variant of which is used in the PlayStation 3, doesn't just do 3D. Its incredible processing power can wrestle with 4K picture quality and can record eight video streams at once.
