The funny thing is...you really need to do research to find out which TVs are 3D ready. Only Samsung 2008 DLP line was 3D ready as was Mitsubishi's. I bought the 67 inch one and have been happy early adopter of 3D gaming on PC. Samsung stopped making DLPs for 2009...so you would think only Mitsubishi ones are currently 3D ready in 2009 right? Wrong... Samsung introduced 3D mode in 2 of their plasmas. Here is the funny part...they are 720p bottom end plasma...lol http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+50%22+Class+/+720p+/+600Hz+/+Plasma+HDTV/9239371.p?id=1218065984669&skuId=9239371 and http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+42%22+Class+/+720p+/+600Hz+/+Plasma+HDTV/9235259.p?id=1218064392359&skuId=9235259
These 2 TV's are the ONLY TVs on the market today that are not DLP that are "3d Ready". and there is literally nothing on the box or the manual that says they are "3d ready" All those people buying 120HZ and 240 HZ tvs for 3000 dollars are throwing the money down the tube if they think they are getting 3D ready TVs. Here is a list for people that may actually want to invest in 3D ready products. http://www.3dmovielist.com/3dhdtvs.html |
Very good post, its indeed complicated nowadays to display 3D on a TV. First you dont know what TVs can do it, second you also need a computer to analyze and process the images to your tv. Third, different kind of 3D medias have different kind of 3D output, which mean that you can purchase a 3D ready TVs today but would be unable to play future games.
Two tumbs up for Sony that want to simplify the process in removing the computer in between, marketing the TVs 3D ready compatible with PS3 firmware. And finally putting in place some kind of standard for 3D gaming and 3D cinema at home. Ill be a first day adopter if theres already a couple of games.
