It depends on which model or screen size you buy, but the prices are currently in line with the latest HDTV offerings. Anywhere between £500 - £5000. The new Sonys are preordering for £2700.
Glasses free 3D is at an experimental stage at present. The few examples are expensive and not impressive quality either. It will improve and the costs will come down in the future but if you are considering 3D television, don't wait for glasses free systems - it will be a long wait for you.
3D and LED cannot be compared. 3D televisions can use LCD or LED technology. LED may be either 2D or 3D.
No, and no. 3D televisions have high speed video image processors to manipulate the incoming signal and generate two separate images. Other televisions simply don't have the processing facility to generate the images. Active 3D glasses rely on signals from a 3D television to operate so they would not operate at all with a 2D television. If you don't own a 3D television the only way to watch the latest 3D content is to go visit a friend who does own one.
You cannot turn a 2D TV into a 3D model, just like you cannot convert a black and white TV into a color one.
Around £2,900.00
Plasma TVs can be in 3D. Samsung and Panasonic both make Plasma 3D TVs, as seen on www.bestbuy.com. The Samsung plasma 3D TV seems to be a little less expensive than the LCD TVs.
All 3D TVs are priced in the same range but for less expensive models, take a look at Vizio who make some low cost passive 3D televisions. Like the more expensive LG passive televisions, they use only 540 line resolution in 3D mode but if you can live with that restriction, they are good value for money. For full HD 3D, you will need to look at sony, Samsung and Panasonic models.
Glasses for 3D television can be expensive. But remember that when you bought a 3D television, you were investing in a premium product and you were seeking performance rather than price. Any television purchase based just on price would be a low cost 2D television. Having invested in a nice 3D television, make sure you maintain the quality of the image with the correct glasses for it.
Yes. Toshiba makes models that are autostereoscopic (glasses-free) however these models are very very expensive.
A mansion along with a 50 inch 3D TV!
In terms of affordability, you should go for the passive 3D TV. It also has many technical advantages like battery free 3D glasses which are less expensive and very comfortable for the eyes.
I think that the best television brand is probably the Sony Bravia. They make a good LED 3D television, with a good picture, but they are also more expensive than other brands.
The price of 3D TVs may be slightly more expensive than regular TVs but the electricity consumption is the same if not less. Cinema 3D TVs come with an energy star rating. LG Cinema 3D TVs are also much more energy efficient than the plasma/ active LED models because the 3d glasses do not require recharging.
Glasses free 3D is at an experimental stage at present. The few examples are expensive and not impressive quality either. It will improve and the costs will come down in the future but if you are considering 3D television, don't wait for glasses free systems - it will be a long wait for you.
They are avaiilable now but they are very, very expensive. Tom cruise has one.
No, you didn't get ripped off. Samsung make it clear what is included with their televisions. Although Samsung 3D televisions can work out to be expensive, they are also among the best models available. If you want cheaper 3D with cheap glasses, consider LG but remember that LG televisions operate at just 540 line resolution rather than 1080 for Samsung models.
The newest technology, which has been very popular with consumers and movie watchers, have been 3D televisions. When choosing a new 3D TV for your home there are various aspects that you should consider. One thing to consider when purchasing a 3D TV is the type of glasses that you will need to wear. Some 3D TV's require watchers to wear heavy and bulky glasses to get the 3D image. These glasses are not only inconvenient to wear, but are quite expensive. A better option would be to choose a TV that can be watched while wearing passive 3D glasses. These glasses are quite cheap and are similar to the ones given for free and movie theaters.
