da bet esporte： Ever since 3Ds cinema-led revival critics have been saying that 3D could be over before it’s started, and many are predicting that 2012 is the year that the bubble will burst. So far, 3D TVs have been slow to break through on the high street, as shoppers opt for cheaper HD models, rather than taking the plunge into the third dimension.
da 888casino： So, if you’re going to invest in a new television in 2012, before you head down to the nearest Currys to peruse the TVs you should given some thought to whether you’re looking for a 3D TV or an HD option.
A lot of that depends on whether you think 3D will survive. So far, there is only one 3D television channel in the UK, and that’s to be found on Sky. Some sporting events have been filmed in 3D, but generally speaking there is a dearth of 3D content out there – to such an extent that some television providers have set up websites to give their customers more content.
Then there’s the question as to whether it actually works. This is largely down to personal taste (and you’re own vision, because it can be tricky if you don’t have the same quality vision in both eyes). Do you mind wearing glasses in your front room just as you do at the cinema? For most people the answer is no, and despite the efforts of technology companies, we’re still a little distance away from glasses-less 3D.
You also have to consider what’s going on in the cinemas, there are 3D films coming out all the time, some more successful than others, but a slightly unexpected trend has been developing with films that come out in 2D and 3D like the last Harry Potter film and the latest Pirates of the Caribbean. On both occasions more people chose to watch the films in 2D than the much hyped extra-dimensional version.
Some would say that this is because the effect of 3D on a cinema screen doesn’t make for the best viewing experience, with many images appearing dim and small no matter the size of the screen. Others would say that there’s an economic crisis going on and 3D tickets cost more, so 2D is the natural choice.
In any case, many film makers seem to think that IMAX might prove a better option than 3D, in which case, we can expect a move into HD from the cinema in the near future.
Most importantly for your choice is the fact that a good HD TV could cost under £200, and a good 3D TV will cost a lot more than that. LG and Toshiba offer good entry level televisions, with the Sony Brava a very popular option for those who are willing to spend a little more. You could buy a 3D TV, but if you’ve got to put your money somewhere next year, HD is the best option.
