Toshiba Reveals Word's First Glasses-free 3DTV

[dalethepcman]

Damn... thats a super sexy tv! With that price tag though.....

I can already see the consequence of watching 3dtv on the article title (Word's First Glasses-free 3DTV)

how does this technology work?

 

[Guest]

Facetracking? ... does that mean the 3D only works for 1 person? Or is it able to track multiple faces and display appropriately?

People are free to spend their money on whatever. Worth and cost are two separate things. While you think it's a waste of money and want to wait two years, I want to enjoy it now. We have a limited amount of time to live so while you are waiting two years for a new technology or the price to come down, I will be enjoying what I want within that two years.It's a very personal decision.

[citation][nom]shqtth[/nom]Not worlds first glasses free 3D HDTV, the worlds first one was Samsung, and they had piles of them at the Vancouver 2010 games !!!!!!!!!!!!!!.And I was watching them.[/citation]

Those were not the first either. I saw some NEC made like 5 years ago. There may have been some before that, but those were the first I'd seen.

don't you people remember the price of the First Plasma TV, from Pioneer? I think it was $15,000 for a 480i SD 42" unit, less than 15 years ago, surely they're all defunct now.

question: do I HAVE to run this Toshi in 3D? is there a 2D mode for my 1D viewing?

It is right,that usually it takes at least several years of technology improvement before people start to buy these products & I think it will be the same for me,especially since I'm working quite long hours lately so I will have no time to watch much TV anyway.

I am already buying the 60" Samsung LED 3DTV which happens to have a free 32" LEDTV, a Blueray player, a samsung galaxy wifi, a free Shrek 3D movie and free rental of Blueray movies(not really sure how many years...)

When this toshiba becomes available in my country, I'll buy it also... nothing to do with thinking of fad or the thinking that 3dtv with glass will be obsolete. We adopters of early technology DONT GET OBSOLETE... we just buy the newer gadget and becomes very much in...

Toshib Revels Word's Fist Gasses-fre 3TV !!

 

[CaedenV]

sounds nice. I assume the quad HD is because every other pixel is for one eye only, so it takes doubling the rez to keep 3D at 1080p. Really don't need the built in speakers, if you can afford the TV you can afford a nice martian logan electro static set. Other than that it sounds like a dream!

 

[torka]

This was revealed at CES 2011

Old news is old.

 

[lamorpa]

It still says 'Word's First' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Fist in da Word! Not the secon in d word, d fist!

 

[NightLight]

i'm sorry, i just won't buy a tv over 2500$, not ever. they think they can get away with any price these days.

3D is not a fad guys, come on. Pretty soon every tv out there will have 3D built in, with the option to switch back to 2D. it's pretty obvious imo. People keep hoping it's going to die out. Well you are going to be waiting for a very long time because I gaurantee 3D isn't going anywhere anytime soon. To me, I think 3D has a much better chance of survival in the home than it does in the theater. You can play video games, watch movies, watch sports, etc. 3D is here to stay folks, count on it.

@gmp23:

You have fundamental misunderstanding about 3D viewing. When viewing 3D images, each eye is presented with a slightly different view of the scene. This works well in a theater for 2 reasons: 1) The difference in focal plane and eye alignment for a screen 50 or more feet away is negligible, so you don't have the headache inducing eye alignment and focus distance conflicts. 2) In a darkened theater, there is very little conflicting context surrounding the screen. Both of these problems are inherent to most home (living room) setups. Very large, darkened, dedicated home theaters can work, but not in your average living room. It's a novelty, and until an entirely new way of viewing is invented, it will stay that way.

brain hurts, no problem, we still want 3DTV in our living room... specially since when i miss them in cinema due to work related issues...

althou it would be another issue with my wife thou... she better not learn about that brainhurts...
anyway, the freebees always get the wives to agree 8'D
