Samsung to launch 3D television in August

The World of entertainment is switching towards the 3D revolution, as in my earlier post about 3D revolution, depicts the fact that how people are generous about the 3D technology. Samsung is in a lead to launch the first 3D television globally in the first week of August. Apart from being a 3D TV, if also offers a unique feature of a touchscreen remote, which will enable the user to watch all channels on the remote itself.

The Expected price of Television would be Rs 440,000 for a Samsung Series 9000 in 55 inch model.

The world's slimmest 3D TV is set to debut in India which is Samsung series 9000 of 55 inch that is going to come at a price of Rs 440,000.

Ravinder Zutshi, deputy managing director , Samsung India, said

It is also the only company in India that has come out with a 3D range across the wide range of LCDs, the Plasma's and LED's televisions. There is an implementation of another technology known for converting the 2D stream to the 3D.



Samsung is the only company in India that has come out with the 3D range across LCDs, plasmas and LEDs. It also has the technology where 2D can be con

verted into 3D. The Tv will also offer several other features such as internet connection facility where one can make internet video calls through Internet, organise, add and delete content via its application library.

Coming to the conversion of 2D to 3D technology, the user can also convert his existing two dimension content to the three dimension.

LG Unveils its First 3D Netbook : LG Xnote R590

As one of my previous post about the 3D revolution predicts the expansion of 3D technology, here a cool news LG has recently launched its first 3D notebook called the LG R590. Its a notebook with a 15.6 inch screen, powered by Intel iCore 7 processor, a Nvidia GeForce GT335M graphics card, SRS Tru-Surround HD, optional Blu-ray drive and the and TriDef software which does 2D video to 3D conversion in real time.



Features:

• 15.6” display


• Intel Core i7


• Optical Blu-ray drive


• Nvidia GeForce GT335M graphics card


• SRS Tru-Surround HD


• TriDef software (Coverts 2D video to 3D)


• Windows 7


• Two passive 3D glasses included

Though the announcement has been done in Korea market the impact will be critical. With Laptop manufacturers injecting the latest technology and specifications like iCore with Nvidia graphics its hard to believe such innovations. if you want to have a 3D experience you have to use polarized glasses rather than the shutter glasses.

Up Next : 3D Revolution

This Concept of first 3d motion picture isn't new, But a growing number of recent Hollywood releases clearly show the revolution of 3D. With the success of "Avatar", the 3D has returned to cultural consciousness.

Though, 3D is being positioned not just for theatrical and professional venues but is also for homes. The electronics industry has been showing keen interest and putting the elements for a 3D revolution into place surprisingly quickly. Most of the consumer products is planning to launch the 3D enabled television and we can now have it in the market.

Summer will also see 3D-enabled Blu-ray players. For filmmakers, a 3d camera will arrive in the fall: Panasonic's $21,000,professional-grade Full HD camcorder will be able to record video from each of its twin lenses to SDHC cards. Now the Broadcasters are getting into the act, too. BSkyB is among the networks working on 3D channels. ESPN's channel, launching in June, will show 85 sporting events in 3D. And Sony is partnering with Discovery and Imax to have a 3D channel by 2011.

With growing effect of Avatar in Film content industry, Several movies are set to follow the 3D rule, Since 3D theatrical releases routinely earn more revenue than their 2D counterparts, it's no shock that Hollywood and the consumer electronics industry are eager to bring 3D into the home. And the focus isn't just on movies: 80 percent of PC games are currently available in 3D.

"Consumers are willing to pay more money to watch a movie in 3D than to watch it in 2D," notes Jennifer Colegrove, director of display technologies at DisplaySearch, citing 3D's immersiveness. "So [manufacturers] are naturally thinking about 3D for the home--on a computer, a notebook, a TV, a mobile phone."

Study shows that the consumers wants has begun and Sony is partnering with CBS to study what audiences expect from Home 3D. 40 percent of the respondents preferred 3D t 2D

We cant predict how much companies will charge for 3D TVs (or content). Clearly, 3D represents a new revenue stream, and consumer electronics makers will definately put some premium on it (simply because they'll have 3D on their top-tier products). But industry executives have told me that they are aware of the risk of stifling 3D's prospects if they price it into the stratosphere.

So far, only Sony's top-of-line Bravia LX900 HDTV will come packaged with two pairs of glasses.

The challenge will be to get hardware into homes. "It's about presenting enough of a compelling story to get people excited about buying new equipment," says Rick Dean, chairman of the 3D@Home Consortium and VP of strategic development for THX. "New Blu-ray players are required. New displays are required. But it's not just about how we're going to deliver 3D content; it's about the user experience."

Soon, we can expect the 3D display replacing with the existing 2D displays.
