Now 3D Environment at your home

3D television technology is becoming increasingly popular with each passing day. Due to the rise of popular 3D feature films (namely Pixar's Up and James Cameron's Avatar), major television manufacturers began developing three dimensional home television technology in 2009.

There are several methods that these manufacturers use to create 3D images on an LCD television; some are more expensive than others, and some are more feasible than others. This article will discuss the three primary methods of 3-D home theater technology that will be used in upcoming years.

A 3D television is a television set that employs techniques of 3D presentation, such as stereoscopic capture, multi-view capture, or 2D plus depth, and a 3D display—a special viewing device to project a television program into a realistic three-dimensional field.

3D-ready TV sets are those that can operate in 3D mode (in addition to regular 2D mode), in conjunction with LCD shutter glasses, where the TV tells the glasses which eye should see the image being exhibited at the moment, creating a stereoscopic image. These TV sets usually support HDMI 1.4 and a minimum (input and output) refresh rate of 120 Hz; glasses may be sold separately.

Price in India

Analysts feel that it will take some time before the 3D television fever gets contagious as cost plays a major factor in India. 3D TV sets are around 25 per cent more expensive than the 2D ones. On top of that, 3D glasses cost around Rs 5000 and cost plays a major factor in India. The Samsung 3D LED television with a screen size between 40 to 65 inch is priced between Rs 1,30,000 and Rs 4,35,000. The 3D LCD series, available in 46 and 55 inch screen sizes, is priced between Rs 1,29,000 and Rs 1,86,900. The 63-inch 3D plasma TV is priced at Rs 3 lakh.

Technology research firm ISuppli expects 4.2 million 3D TV sets to be sold this year, or about 2 percent of all LCD TVs, rising to 78 million in 2015. But there is a long way to go for genuine 3D content development in India.
