   Do you need a 3D TV?

   • For now, some of the latest TV technologies are OLED, QLED, 4K, and 8K. For the most part, people are more than happy with the latest TV tech and have no desire to own a 3D TV. 8K TVs are on the rise at the moment. Some say they're not necessary for an ordinary person's living room. However, you'll want to upgrade to an 8K TV in the future.

   Which 3D TV should I buy?

   • The BEST and one of the last 3D tvs from LG was the Oled C6 and G6, I still own a 55inch C6, it's 4k and passive 3D. No other tv comes close to the 3D experience. They gave up on them just as they got good. I also own a Sony with active glasses, whilst the 3D is decent, I hate the glasses and it's nowhere near the level of my c6.

   What is a 3D TV?

   • When we say "a 3D TV" what we mean is "an HDTV with 3D compatibility." 3D compatibility is a feature on higher-end LED LCD and plasma TVs released since 2010. It allows those TVs to display specialized, made-in-3D video with the right accessories -- namely 3D glasses and a 3D source device.

   Before getting into the "why it all failed," it's important to know why it even started. It's something the "Avatar Effect". Although 3D movie viewing goes back decades, the release of James Cameron's Avatarin 2009 was a game-changer. With its worldwide 3D success, movie studios not only started pumping out a steady stream of 3D movies into movie t...

   A lot of things came together to doom 3D TV before it really even started, which can be summed up by three factors: 1. Unfortunate Timing 2. Expensive and Incompatible Glasses 3. Extra Costs Let's take a look at these three and other issues that plagued 3D TVs from the start.

   The first mistake was the timing of its introduction. The U.S. had just gone through a major consumer buying disruption with the implementation of the 2009 DTV transition, in which all over-the-air TV broadcasting switched from analog to digital. As a result, between 2007 and 2009 millions of consumers either purchased new HDTVs to meet the "new" b...

   Bad timing was just the first mistake. To view the 3D effect on a TV you had to wear special glasses. And, get this, there were competing standards that determined which glasses you had to use, including passive polarized and active shutter. Some TV makers (led by Panasonic and Samsung) adopted a system referred to as "active shutter". In this syst...

   Uh-oh, more costs ahead! In addition to a 3D TV and correct glasses, to access a true 3D viewing experience, consumers needed to invest in a 3D-enabled Blu-ray Disc player and/or buy or lease a new 3D-enabled cable/satellite box. Also, with internet streaming starting to take off, you needed to make sure that your new 3D TV was compatible with any ...

   Realizing that some consumers might not want to purchase all the other gear needed for a true 3D viewing experience, TV makers decided to include the capability of 3D TVs to perform real-time 2D-to-3D conversion—Big Mistake! Although this allowed consumers to watch existing 2D content in 3D right out the box, the 3D viewing experience was poor—defi...

   Another problem with 3D TV is that 3D images are much dimmer than 2D images. As a result, TV makers made the big mistake of not incorporating increased light output technologies into 3D TVs to compensate. However, what is ironic, is that with the introduction of HDR technology in 2015, TVs began to be made with increased light output capability. Th...

   3D is very difficult to implement for live TV. In order to provide 3D TV programming, two channels are required, so that standard TV owners could still watch a program normally on one channel, in addition to those wanting to watch in 3D on another. This meant increased cost for broadcast networks to provide separate feeds to local stations, and for...

   Another reason 3D failed was the poor retail sales experience. At first, there was a lot of sales hype and 3D demonstrations, but after the initial push, if you walked into a lot of retailers looking for a 3D TV, the salespeople no longer provided well-informed presentations, and 3D glasses were often missing or, in the case of active shutter glass...

   For a variety of reasons, not everyone likes 3D. If you are viewing with other family members or friends, and one of them doesn't want to watch 3D, they will just see two overlapping images on the screen. Sharp offered glasses that could convert 3D back to 2D, but that required an optional purchase and, if one of the reasons that the person didn't ...

   Mar 4, 2022 · Published Mar 4, 2022. 3D TV is long gone, but could it make a comeback? Will we be donning our 3D glasses once more? Do you remember the sought-after 3D TVs? If not, that's okay because they didn't stay fashionable for very long, and most companies stopped manufacturing them years ago.
