What To Expect With The New 3D TVs

3D movies have been around since the 1950s, with images jumping off the screen right at you. Making you feel as if you are right there, in the movie alongside your favorite actor. New advanced technology is taking that 3D from the big screen and bringing it right into the home, complete with new active glasses. But before rushing out and investing one of these new sets, you have to ask yourself if you are ready to buy 3D TVs?

Gamers can expect to be pulled right into their game with scenes and characters all around them. This takes gaming to another level as you are running alongside your character, battling zombies or flying across rooftops on your skateboard. It truly creates a gaming experience like never seen before.

Movie viewing at home will be an experience like no other with 3D DVDs. You’ll be immersed in the storyline, the surroundings, and the character unlike ever before. And, you can forget those old red and blue 3D glasses of the past. Because of the new glasses made with liquid-crystal lenses, things will be clearer and the color more intense.

Some of the TVs will convert 2D programs to 3D, so you can basically watch everything in 3D. But the technology is still in its infancy stage and may take another generation or two in order to be as good as made-for-screen 3D. Demos are around that show this process and although reported to work fine, they could stand for some improvement to truly live up to 3D standards.

There is no worry that a 3D TV will only offer 3D. They will all be able to display 2D content. And, that will be the same quality as the current quality on the market today. This is especially needed for when the batteries on the glasses have run out or if there is a health condition that prevents you from watching 3D.

There is a warning that comes with this first generation of TVs. Basically it says children and teenagers may be susceptible to health issues associated with watching 3D. It also goes on to say that pregnant women, the elderly with medical conditions and anyone overly tired should avoid 3D. There is also a warning about drinking alcohol and watching the TV at the same time, eliminating the cold beer with sports in 3D.

There are many advantages as well as disadvantages. Among those the great experience of immersing yourself in game or movie with a pair of a bit more stylish glasses than before. But cost, health issues, and lifestyle all will play a part in the decision. Deciding if you are ready or not for the new 3D TVs will play a major part in their attractiveness and their necessity in your home.
