Sony, one of the major manufacturers of LCDs and Plasma TVs has also hopped on the wagon for 3D TVs and displayed their prototype model at CES 2009. Sony had a different take on the technology they used, as their 3D TV involved glasses for viewing.

But don’t be scared as they are not those horrid paper glasses, but are much better and are being created by REAL D. Not much information was revealed about their launch plans and the future of how they are looking at 3D TVs.

In 2008, Panasonic revealed to the world the largest plasma TV which was a whopping 150 inches. But this time, at CES 2009 they decided not to compete in size; instead, they focused on showcasing their advancement in 3D technology. They showed off their 103-inch full HD 3D TV. According to Panasonic, "3D FHD [Full HD] system comprises a 103-inch Plasma HDTV and a Blu-ray Disc player that plays back Blu-ray Discs onto which 3D video (consisting of leftand right-sided 1080p Full HD images) are recorded. This current plasma will definitely not fit every home but Panasonic has definitely shown that they want to dominate the 3D TV market". So this is one brand to definitely watch out for if you want to move to 3D TV. 3D has such a large scope when it comes to entertainment.

Movies in 3D are already a tried-and-tested method and is loved by all. But having to strain your eyes for it on a regular basis is a price nobody is willing to pay. The fun-filled cartoon characters popping out of your screen, the terrifying horror that scares you in 2D, and now will really freak you out thanks to 3D TVs, are all going to be a part and parcel of your daily life soon. It has a wide variety of applications other than just playing games and watching movies. There must be quite a few sports lovers who really want to watch a particular event such as a cricket match, but cannot do so because these matches are played all around the world.

Also, sometimes getting entry to these matches is tough not only because of the foot fall but also due to the cost. Broadcasting these matches live through 3D TVs would be one of the best things that could ever happen in this case. This kind of entertainment would require you to just sit at home, but these matches could also be broadcast in cinema halls. It would be just spectacular to watch your favourite sports icon right infront of your face, it would feel like you are actually a part of the game itself.

Other than entertainment what other purpose is there for a 3D TV one may wonder, but infact there are many. One of them includes a gamer’s dream coming true as Westinghouse is working on a passively 3D LCD television. Imagine playing a game that you are finally part of, whereby looking to your left you will actually see objects and enemies right in front of your face, instead of just typically on the screen itself.

They have accomplished this by aiming pixels in different directions with varying overlapping points, which creates the illusion of depth to the viewer. A drawback to this technology is that due to the pixel being spread in different directions, the television isn’t capable of switching from 2D to 3D. How many gamers will actually be spending their money on this particular display is a question that only time will answer.
