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?
Video games are taken to a whole new level with 3D introduced. You’ll be able to jump right into the game with the scenery and characters surrounding you as you play. As you battle the deadly zombies or jump high on the rooftops on a skateboard, you’ll be alongside your character as if you were truly in the game.
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.
2D will not be forgotten though so no need to worry that only 3D is viewed on these new TVs. The 3D televisions will also offer 2D in the same quality as a standard 2D television. This is convenient for when the batteries on the glasses run low or run out or when there is a health condition that restricts 3D viewing.
This new technology does come with a warning. Children and teenagers are advised that they could be susceptible to health issues by watching 3D. Pregnant women and the elderly with health conditions, as well as anyone overly tired should avoid 3D altogether. And, the biggest concern is drinking alcohol while watching 3D television, which puts a damper on those who enjoy drinking while watching sports.
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.
