WATCHING 3D movies has always been exciting. But how many of us have the gadgets to get a 3D experience at home? We wait for things like ‘Avatar' to happen, grab a pair of black goggles and catch the best seats in the theatre to get that mind-blowing experience. But not anymore.
If Sony insiders are to be believed, the company is soon launching Plasma and LCD television sets which are capable of creating the same 3D experience in your very own living rooam.
Sony has come up with a first of its kind, 3-D-ready audio receiver.
The gadget called the STR-DN1010 would be available in the US markets by June 2010 and will cost about $500.
Add to it the video counterpart, HDMI 1.4 which has the capability to its feature 3D effect, allowing a full HD 3-D signal to be passed from a 3-D Blu-ray player. The receiver takes the signal and passes it into a 3-D-capable HDTV.
Sony Corp hopes 3D models will make up 10 percent of more than 25 million LCD TVs it aims to sell in the next fiscal year. The maker of the PlayStation 3 game console also plans to release 3D game software in time for its 3D TV launch in June.
Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, the industry leader for flat-screen TVs, will begin U.S. sales of 46- and 55-inch 3D TVs this month, with other models coming over the next several months.
Only the new version of HDMI, version 1.4, is capable of passing a full HD 3-D signal from a video source to a display.
Sony has previously announced its first 3-D-capable Blu-ray players, shipping now. The BDP-S470 ($200) and BDP-S570 ($250) will be able to transmit 3-D Blu-ray movies after a software download available this summer.
