Samsung 3D Television Brings Back Memories: Do We Actually Want What This Newest And Costly 3D Technology Offers?
Samsung launched it long awaited 3D Television. Samsung is a leader in TV for years and has constantly pioneered new technologies and provided its customers with a revolutionary viewing experience.
Samsung's first 3D TV has been reviewed ahead of release by the UK's largest tech site, techradar, who has nothing but glowing words to say about it, claiming "we do not reckon you'll be sorry you bought this Samsung.
The MSG network spent millions of dollars to secure special broadcasting equipment, trained dozens of people and carefully recorded a 3D broadcast beside its HD and standard feeds of the March 24th Rangers vs Islanders hockey game.
Samsung is the first major manufacturer to announce plans to release its Samsung 3D Television in Canada and began selling LED models of 3D. LED TVs are thinner and more energy efficient than the LCD and plasma models most customers are familiar with, Samsung says.
But what about the enormous people who had purchased new high-definition Televisions. Analysts say they are unwilling to spend on another upgrade any time soon, specially when viewers must wear special glasses to see images in 3D. Is this starting to look like what the computer companies and Microsoft are doing to us for a long time.
Everyone is familiar with what happens when a new technology is presented. Prices for the new gadgets are at a premium until contest comes forward or patents come closer to end. The real question is, does this technology actually provide us with the quality we demand at this level of consumerism?
I had a chance to look through the Samsung Active 3D glasses at the newly released Samsung 3D Television. I expected to go, "Wow," but did not. Although some parts of the animated film did jump out at me briefly, I was not amazed
Until they develop some sort of projection technology that does not rely purely on optical trickery I think 3D remains the scam that it's today.
In my view, stereoscopic 3D (S3D) is a means to increase ticket sales at the theater and advertising for high-profile television programming.
So long as the average consumer buys the latest gadget and continues their TV addiction, the S3D fad may run longer than we think.
The first wave of Samsung 3D Tvs will range in size from 40 to 55 inches and in price from $2500 to $4000.
About a week after the LED launch, Samsung will begin selling 3D plasmas, including a 50" for $2400 and a 63" for $4100. By May, Samsung would like to have two 3D LCD models available, a 46" for $1900 and a 55" for $2800.
But the costs go up from there. Samsung's 3D glasses retail for as much as $250 a piece, plus customers need a 3D-compatible blu-ray player (Samsung's is $400) and a new cable.
Regardless of the costly initial outlay, Samsung's director of marketing for consumer electronics states he's confident about the products' launch but won't say anything about economic relief to the bought.
Are we ready for this technology in a time that our own finances are strained? Will the majority of us just say: "I'm tired of getting pushed around by these companies." Or will we just be overcome by our wishes to have the latest and greatest.
I will not be purchasing into the hype anytime soon. The technology is very new for me at this level and the Samsung 3D glasses are way over priced in my view.
