What's so Great About 3D TV's?

A new experience that has popped up in the last decade or so is the 3D experience. This new invention started in amusement parks such as Universal Studios and then from there to movie theaters across the country. Now the trend 3D has started to make its way into our family rooms. Unfortunately, 3D televisions have entered our family rooms too early and television companies have not had the proper time to perfect the 3D technology.

Buy a 3D Television...

A positive of a 3D television is that watching experience is much better compared to watching a television on a 2D television. A 3D television gives the viewer a feeling that they are in the middle of the action because movie characters or athletes are popping out of the screen at them and seemingly moving around in the family room. Another benefit is that a lot of work is put in to make the resolution of 3D televisions higher quality than your average 2D television. The problem is that these some major improvements need to be made before 3D televisions can be found in every household.

But Wait a Few More Years

The first improvement that needs to be made deals with 3D glasses. The current glasses that come with 3D televisions are bulky and not comfortable to wear. It is possible to have 3D technology on a screen without glasses and this is evident in a Nintendo 3DS. The problem is that they haven't developed the technology to translate the small 3D screen in a DS to a larger screen such as a 60" television. Another problem is that television channels have not caught up yet in the 3D technology and many channels don't offer shows in 3D. This is a problem because viewers would have to switch from 2D mode to 3D mode regularly if they wanted to watch different channels in the same sitting.

3D televisions are an exciting piece of technology because they offer a new at-home experience and the feeling that the viewer is actually a part of the television. The problem is that were released too early. Companies should have waiting until 3D technology was more advanced and didn't need glasses. They should also waited until more channels had a 3D option.
