It’s Safe To Buy A 3D TV This Year And Be Ahead Of The Crowd
Most people can get around all the nuances of 3D TV but one, the wearing of those 3D glasses. And were not talking about the old fold up cardboard and plastic passive 3D glasses but the active shutter technology that puts a battery powered helmet around the front of your face. Not quite that bad actually but many people, especially those that don’t currently wear glasses at all, find these active types to be a real distraction. Trouble is, they give the most excellent 3D TV performance money can buy, at least until the next consumer electronics sales year starts.
The other problem is a social issue. Most 3D TV’s come with two pair of these active, battery powered glasses. Great for you and the significant other to watch with but I know if I spend a couple of kilo-pounds on a new TV I’m going to want to bring friends over to the flat by the busload to show it off.
With extra active eye-wear going for $120 GBP my gatherings won’t climb beyond two people for a bit. They have been known to be discounted online but with the technology being proprietary you won’t find cheap knockoffs coming to market to save you money. If you can get over the glasses phobia and price, 2011 models of 3D TV are feature rich and play like music.
