First it was color. Then it was big screen. Then plasma and flat screen. Now the new rage is to have your television shows and DVDs appear as if they are coming right at you. That's right. Three-dimensional televisions are now on the market for private use in homes around the world, and the debate is on as to which one is the best.

First it was color. Then it was big screen. Then plasma and flat screen. Now the new rage is to have your television shows and DVDs appear as if they are coming right at you. That's right. Three-dimensional televisions are now on the market for private use in homes around the world, and the debate is on as to which one is the best. Many major electronic companies are already offering 3D TVs with many more companies on their way to doing the same.
The first decision that has to be made is whether you want a 3D-ready set or whether you want to have a Full 3D TV. The difference is the option of having your television play standard 2D as well. A 3D-ready set can play both 3D and the more traditional 2D, while a Full 3D television set can only play 3D. As of this writing, Full 3D sets are less commonly offered and quite a bit more expensive. They do not require the use of glasses, and at the time are only manufactured by Toshiba and Panasonic.
Unless you are looking to invest a very large sum of money into your new 3D theatre system, and you are willing to wait until the technology is ironed out, chances are that you are going to want to go with the 3D-ready television sets. These do require glasses as well as a 'set-top-box' that works in conjunction with your glasses to provide the 3D feature. This 'set-top-box- is very similar technology to that of Wii's motion detector for the wireless remotes.
Like with the Full 3D set, Panasonic is leading the way on 3D-ready sets, and they have a few different sets already on the market. The Panasonic Viera TXP42GT20B is one of their more popular sets. It sells, glasses included, for around $1900.00 EUR (around 2,500.00 USD).
Samsung has a more price-conscious set, called the Samsung UE46C7000XKX 46-Inch 3D TV. It sells for around 1,500.00 EUR, though it can be found less expensive if one chooses to shop around.
Along with Panasonic and Samsung, LG, Toshiba and Sony are in the 3D business as well, continuing to develop their own television sets that are either 3D-ready or Full 3D. Sony offers their BRAVIA NX810 Series 3D HDTV which features full HD 1080p, 3D capabilities, LED backlight, and is highly regarded as one of the best on the market. It is also more expensive than the other two, ranging from around 3,000 to 3,400 EUR, depending on the source.
2010 was a big year for developments in this technology, and it can be assumed that 2011 will be even greater for 3D TVs. These devises, at the moment, are not for everyone, because the prices are quite a bit higher than your standard 2D televisions, but this is a new technology that is on the rise, and will greatly affect the way television is viewed over the next several years. The trend is on the rise, so start researching which company has the best 3D TV for you.
