I remember when flat screen televisions (not flat panel) came out. I thought there would be nothing any better, ever. Then there was HDTV, and nothing could ever top that. Until now. . . there is 3D TV.
I keep seeing commercials for a Samsung 3D TV, so I wanted to look into them. The area I am at temporarily, doesn’t have any of these TVs available for me to personally play with, but the Internet is full of reviews.
Everything I have read has been positive about the picture quality of the new technology. There has been no real criticism on this. The only issues I have come across were sound quality, price and needed accessories.
There were numerous people complaining about the sound coming from the TV speakers. However, the easy fix is a surround system. Since most people have a sound system already, crisis averted.
As with all new technology, price is ridiculous. The TVs are all pushing $3,000 and are likely not to come down for quite awhile. Although, $3,ooo is not too bad for a great TV. However, we can get some pretty good ones for much cheaper. I actually can buy two 46 inch TVs for cheaper than one 3D module.
The next complaint is the video game system curse. Remember when you bought a game system, and you got all the controllers and even a game? Then they stopped doing this and made you buy a game. Then you had to buy a game and the controllers. Well, these TVs are following suit.
To enjoy the 3D viewing, you need 3D glasses. Special 3D glasses. Special ones that cost $150+ per set. Now, comes the issue of how many sets to buy. What if you have company over to see this modern marvel? You would want more than a set or two.
I am extremely pumped to get a view into this new phase of home entertainment and can’t wait until I get to check out a set myself. However, I am not rushing to buy a TV just yet. For all those who have, tell me about it.
