Samsung is mass-producing 3D televisions
KOREAN GIANT Samsung Electronics has proudly announced that it has started mass producing 3D televisions at a time when most of us are still saying, "What's the point if you have to wear those silly glasses?"
With the television industry, if not audiences, going crazy for 3D TVs at the moment, the firm will mass produce the panels needed for LED and LCD televisions, possibly prompting the owners of warehouse facilities in South Korea to rejoice and proclaim the end of the recession.
"Recently, 3D displays have captured the industry spotlight," said Wonkie Chang, president of the LCD business at Samsung. "Samsung Electronics aims to lead the global 3D TV panel market in pioneering panel mass production for 3D LED and LCD TVs."
Samsung's 3D televisions will use 3D Active glasses, and should allow for both 2D HD and 3D HD. The firm added that it had reduced the response times associated with its screens down to under four milliseconds, explaining that this would help it to capture and display rapid movement with "exceptional clarity".
Samsung said that its 3D Active glasses use its technology to first block off the left and then the right eye, causing a momentary lag between images. It said that this contributes to user perception of better images.
It sounds like somewhat of a nightmare to us. µ

Dear brighter my mind certainly grew dimmer after reading your post since I didn't understand a single thing from what you wrote.
You are actually drashek aren't you?
Wonkie Chang????
That has to be the funniest name I have heard all day! Especially because Chang in Thai means elephant!
Another stab at altering the natural state for the sake of growing-bigger/owning-infinity - the amoralists death call - "Business". "CGI Nonsense !", might be trivialised as some medieval lunatic outburst but the reality is that the eyes are being slowly forced into un-natural states of darkness during times of "relaxation"/"entertainment" and similar excuses for excitements and abandonments. To hide the lack detail ['cos it costs a mint to get nearer to real] and natural definition, these "computer enhanced/generated" images are deliberatedly dimmed and more so the background of the images. Should the opportunity arise in the future where such gimmickry are proven to be the cause of this and that, who will foot the bill? Love yourself more than your gimmicks for it will lead you onto the real Infinity and not to those who want to own it. Experience the gimmick to ascertain its state of the living and when confirmed that it is actually the living-dead, bin/neutralise it, for progress/evolution/Evolution is about avoidance, not evasion.
Most computer games have been available to be played in 3D for probably a decade now using nvidia stereoscopic drivers and various glasses such as edimensional's set, and its only getting better now nvidia produce their own glasses and samsung is producing low response time high hertz LCDs. (My old 22" CRT still works perfectly well with stereo vision though).
Its terrific to see TV is getting on board too now or soon will be.
When I am alone at my computer gaming in 3D (flight sims are the best) I really don't give a rats proverbial what I look like with glasses on.
In fact I find it hilarious that anyone would want to turn down the absolutely amazing experience of gaming in 3D because the glasses aren't a fashionable enough item to wear. What sort of person does that? lol!
It's also interesting to note that the biggest grossing movie of all time (Avatar) required the public wearing of glasses. Didn't exactly seem to hold it back now did it?
The 3D rides at Disney Florida rock, if it's as good as those then I'm interested and they will sell.
I bet George Lucas is already writing some more pre-pre-prequels for Star Wars to take advantage of the 3d trickery.
I think the real interesting part would be if someone integrate 3D TV with the Natal system Microsoft is working on (or other 3D motion capture software)...meaning, you can interact with a simulated 3D world.
That is where pron industry would make billions (3D glasses or no)...
HDMI 1.4 specs,which are needed in order to view full 1080p* with each eye,have also implemented the Real-D "circular polarization" technology,so that you may use plain cheap polarized glasses like the ones used by most 3D equipped cinemas.
This makes much more sense since you will be able to have plenty of spare pairs of glasses around,even for guests.
Also I hear that this greatly reduces the nausea/headache side effects.
So,will we see Real-D TV sets too-at least second generation ones-or are all the manufacturers committed to Active Shutter technology?
*Some of the latest HDMI 1.3+ 120+Hz TV sets which are also able to be *fed* a 120+Hz source provide up to 1080i to each eye;in essence a 1080p frame split in two fields,aka dreaded interlaced technology.
The technology of one Monitor in front of each eye is as old as the modern computers, but the glasses will be much bigger, you will need one cable for each monitor and I can say after an hour your eyes will scream of pain. Better cheap, light-weight plastic, than heavy, expensive and useless plastic from Apple...
P.S. I'am very interested when Samsung will release some innovative devices^^.
just need two iPads, hold one in each hand in front of the relevant eye, and press the 3D app with your nose. = instant 3D download from your wallet and milliseconds of entertainment, no cheap plastic glasses needed.
You will need to wear glasses full 1080P 3D to each eye without glasses is at least 10 years away!!!! it will need 50 times the processing power of todays TV's to do this.
panasonic, Toshiba, samsung have stated this
Like VHS and DVD, It will become popular once the porn industry gets their hands, among other things, in the technology.
I'm so looking forward to extremely high quality 3d programming - like teleshopping or Celebrity Hermits or 'Emergency Hospital - with 400 patients with head injuries from trying to look down some actress shirt'
Can you imagine how many of these will get smashed - no wonder they're queueing up to sell these things.
Its going to add a whole new meaning to product placement!
