3D TV- Panasonic |
3D TV set's of today are pretty cool for the average person with a little extra change in their purse. They provide the same awesome 3D projections as a movie theater but in the convenience of your own home. However, they do come with a couple cons:
- Primarily, the cost. The average 3D TV will run you anywhere from $900 to upwards of $2500 and even more for those who seek true a more true cinema experience.
- Secondly, the lack of content. Though 3D technology has been on the market for about 2 years consistently, the rest of the tech world hasn't quite caught on 100% and many companies are not ready to invest money into 3D products because its not clear how well this phase will stick. The limited amount of 3D channels, topped with the only 3D movie format being the pricey Blu-ray and PS3's high cost, scares away many potential buyers.
- And lastly, the tacky glasses. Look, you can sugar coat it any way you want, but these glasses are UGLY. You could be wearing the old school multi-colored glasses or the new more modern looking glasses, it's still a hassle to anyone who wants to just sit down and watch, especially if you already wear glasses. Also, if you're anything like me, you're CONSTANTLY losing the remote whether its tangled up in your sheets, fallen under the bed, behind the couch, or whatever. Imagine losing those glasses once a day and not being able to watch anything. Bit of a drag, huh?
Panasonic's 3D Glasses |
Some of the top name brands in the market for 3D TV would be Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, Sharp, and LG. I did a little research into the customer reviews and this is what I came across with so far:
- Samsung- lower quality sound, suffers from some bad glare, incredible HD and 3D TV image quality, easy to set up and use, internet connection with Netflix, and overall best quality for price.
- Panasonic- high picture quality, internet connection with Netflix capability, but a known glitch in the brightness that engineers claim to "know about" and "are currently working on it", as well as reduced sound quality.
- Sony- high picture quality, lower sound quality(seems to be a trending issue with 3D TV's), and top internet capabilities with both Netflix and Pandora.
- Sharp- no reported cons, just a high picture quality, internet with netflix capabilities, high price, but the sound quality was ranked a tad bit lower than the picture quality, keeping it even with the rest.
- LG- suffers from low sound quality, slacking picture quality when watching HDTV, and colors are not vibrant and do not pop when watching any form of TV.

It's true that with 3d tv, viewing experience is much more fun and exciting. Pictures appear livelier and clearer.
