3D TV: Christmas 2010's Biggest Trend!

This year there is no competition when it comes to figuring out the hottest gadget for the 2010 holidays. The 3D TV Christmas 2010 technology takes the cake and gives you the icing too. There is no doubt that this is one of the most amazing inventions on the market to date. Let's take a minute to learn about what makes this invention so cool.

Remember rushing to the movie theater for a three dimensional experience? You couldn't wait to slide into the theater, slip on the goofy glasses, and watch the movie jump off the screen at you. The three dimensional television accomplishes the same thing from the comfort of your own living room. How? Two slightly different pictures are sent to each eye. Pop on the glasses and the picture then jumps off the screen!

What do you need for a slamming 3D TV Christmas 2010 experience? For starters, make sure you have the glasses. Most of the three dimensional television sets come with one to two pairs. You can easily purchase more depending on how many viewers will be watching. You will also need a Blu-Ray player. It must be able to encode 3D discs. Not all of the latest Blu-Ray players have this ability. Be sure to check them carefully before purchasing to ensure they can encode properly. The last think you will need to have is an HDMI cable to connect your television to your cable box or Blu-Ray.

There are currently several television brands offering this three dimensional take home experience. Samsung has been the leading pioneer, and while they sport a higher price point they have a good product history of quality standing behind them. Make your 3D TV Christmas 2010 experience a memorable one with a 55-Inch, 1080p, 240Hz, 3D LED HDTV. A 58-Inch is available in plasma if you aren't a fan of LED.

If you aren't a fan of Samsung in general, LG also offers a pretty awesome three dimensional television product for the 2010 holidays. It has a very comparable price point to the Samsung. The best model by LG is a 47-Inch, 3D 1080p, 240 Hz, LED plus LCD HDTV with Internet Applications.

Don't forget to pick up one of the top five 3D Blu-Ray movies:

   1. Open Season
   2. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
   3. Monster House
   4. Disney's A Christmas Carol
   5. Despicable Me

If you're the kind of person who wants to stay on top of the latest gadgets then a 3D TV is definitely the perfect choice for Christmas 2010. For even more choices, take a look at the top Kinect Games for the revolutionary new motion sensor for Xbox 360.

3D Displays to hit $22 Billion in revenue by 2018

Experts say the largest 3D market will be mobile phone displays.

CES is here and one of the most interesting technologies to be seen at the show this year will be 3D-ready TVs and other gear. The home theater market is set to boom with a glut of new 3D devices coming soon that will usher 3D movies and broadcast programming into homes. Display Search has released its latest statistics that forecasts the revenue from 3D-ready displays to reach a staggering $22 billion by 2018. 3D-ready TV shipments are predicted to hit 64 million units in the same time frame. In 2008, the market for 3D stereoscopic displays was 700,000 units and the revenue for the market was only $902 million. The predicted growth shows a compound annual growth rate of 38% for revenue and 75% for units shipped.

DisplaySearch breaks the numbers down by product group as well. The research firm predicts that 3D-ready monitors will grow from 40,000 units shipped in 2009 to 10 million units shipped in 2018. 3D notebooks will also grow significantly from 66,000 units in 2009 to 17.7 million in 2018. It’s hard to imagine 3D on mobile phones today, but DisplaySearch predicts that 71 million mobile phones with 3D capability will ship by 2018. If the prediction comes true, mobile phones will be the largest category in the 3D market.

The huge number of 3D mobile phone shipments will make the 1 to 4+ inch screen size the largest market with the second largest screen size group ranging from 40-49″ for TVs. LCD technology will be the predominant technology used in 3D screens and eyewear is predicted to be needed in most applications. Over 7,000 new 3D cinema screens are expected to be installed in 2010 and an additional 9,000 screens will be installed in 2011. DisplaySearch predicted late in December that theLCD TV market would return to growth in 2010 mainly on the back of new technologies like 3D.

“3D displays are taking off with consumers due to increasing availability of 3D content. In addition, 3D standardization has also been addressed or is being evaluated in several 3D organizations,” noted Jennifer Colegrove, Director of Display Technologies at DisplaySearch. “A number of manufacturers of consumer electronics devices, including TVs, monitors, notebooks, Blu-ray disc players, and digital cameras/camcorders/photo frames have aggressively promoted 3D in the home. In addition to consumer use of 3D displays, the technology has also been used for many professional applications and advertisement/public displays.”

One key ingredient needed for 3D TVs to penetrate the market is 3D programing. 3D Blu-ray is one of the big technologies being displayed at CES later this week. The satellite that DirecTV recently launched will also have a dedicated channel that broadcasts in 3D. In addition to a single 3D channel, the satellite will also enable over 200 national HD channels to be broadcast to the entire country including Alaska and Hawaii. Some of the new HD channels will broadcast in full 1080p resolution as well. DirecTV has no plans for additional satellites at this time.
