My Cart - There’s been plenty of talk about it over the past few months, but it seems as though 3D TV is set to arrive at any moment with Samsung leading the charge. However, there seems to be one problem that is yet to be addressed by the leading brands and that is the matter of 3D glasses.
Samsung 42 Inch TV
A standard for the 3D glasses that will be necessary to view the specialised 3D content has not yet been set! This could cause problems for consumers who’ll soon find themselves facing compatibility issues when the 3D Glasses from their new Samsung 37 LCD TV might not work with next door’s Panasonic set! Although this may not seem like a major issue, it could soon become problematic enough to put consumers off the idea of 3D TV altogether! If it’s too much hassle to upgrade from your existing Samsung 42 inch TV to the latest 3D model then why would you bother?
If each brand of 3D TV will utilise a pair of glasses with that are specific to their own TVs then what will happen if you want to invite a load of friends over to watch the latest 3D film? There’s a chance their glasses won’t be compatible with your set, even if they own a pair of 3D glasses in the first place!
If 3D TV is going to become a worldwide success then this issue needs to be addressed as soon as possible. It is issues such as this combined with the very limited amount of content that’s currently available for 3D TV that could see the format off, even before its got its feet off the ground.
