Samsung 3D Television Brings Back Memories: Do We Really Want What This Most Recent And Expensive 3D Technology Provides?


Samsung launched it long awaited 3D Television. Samsung has been a leader in Television for years and has consistently pioneered new technologies and provided its customers with a revolutionary viewing experience.

Samsung's first 3D TV has been reviewed before release by the UK's largest tech site, techradar, who has nothing but glowing words to say about it, claiming "we don't reckon you'll be sorry you bought this Samsung.

The MSG network spent tens of thousands of dollars to secure special broadcasting equipment, trained dozens of people and carefully recorded a 3D broadcast alongside its HD and standard feeds of the March 24th Rangers versus Islanders hockey game.

Samsung is the first major manufacturer to announce plans to launch 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 consumers are familiar with, Samsung says.

But what about the millions of people who had bought new high-definition TVs. Analysts say they are unwilling to spend on another upgrade any time soon, especially when viewers must wear special glasses to see images in 3D. Is this starting to look like what the computer companies and Microsoft have been doing to us for years.

Everybody is familiar with what happens when a new technology is introduced. Prices for the new gadgets are at a premium until competition comes forward or patents come closer to expiration. 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 didn't. Though certain parts of the animated film did jump out at me briefly, I was not impressed

Until they develop some sort of projection technology that doesn't rely purely on optical trickery I think 3D remains the gimmick that it is today.

In my view, stereoscopic 3D (S3D) is a means to increase ticket sales at the theater and advertising for high-profile television programming.

As long as the average consumer buys the latest gadget and continues their TV obsession, the S3D fad may run longer than we think.

The first wave of Samsung 3D Televisions will range in size from 40 to 55 in. and in price from $2500 to $4000.

About a week after the LED launch, Samsung will start selling 3D plasmas, including a 50" for $2400 and a 63" for $4100. By May, Samsung expects to have two 3D LCD models on the market, 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 consumers need a 3D-compatible blu-ray player (Samsung's is $400) and a new cable.

Despite the costly initial outlay, Samsung's director of marketing for consumer electronics says 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 most of us just say: "I'm tired of getting pushed around by these corporations." Or will we just be overcome by our desires to have the latest and greatest.

I won't be buying into the hype anytime soon. The technology is too new for me at this level and the Samsung 3D glasses are way over priced in my opinion.
