The 1950s brought a new technology to movie screens, the 3D movie. This was exciting, with images jumping right off the big screen at you, pulling you right into the movie. Today’s technology has taken that a step further and is bringing the big screen 3D right into the comfort of your own home. New active glasses allow you to enjoy this type of viewing experience anytime you like. But what can you really expect if you buy new 3D TVs?

Video games are taken to a whole new level with 3D introduced. You’ll be able to jump right into the game with the scenery and characters surrounding you as you play. As you battle the deadly zombies or jump high on the rooftops on a skateboard, you’ll be alongside your character as if you were truly in the game.

Watching one of your favorite films can now spill right out into your living room, immersing you in the scenes and the story. Unlike with older 3D glasses of blue and red, where things seem discolored, the new 3D glasses are liquid-crystal lenses that are in sync with the TV through an infrared system. Bringing you clearer images and high quality color as you are surrounded by the scenes on screen with your 3D DVDs.

Choosing a TV that will convert 2D to 3D may allow you to watch everything in 3D. Not all 3D televisions offer this and the ones that do are still working on it. As the technology is still fairly new the process seems to work fine, but improvement is needed to truly be up to the standards they are looking for.

2D will not be forgotten though so no need to worry that only 3D is viewed on these new TVs. The 3D televisions will also offer 2D in the same quality as a standard 2D television. This is convenient for when the batteries on the glasses run low or run out or when there is a health condition that restricts 3D viewing.

There is a warning that comes with this first generation of TVs. Basically it says children and teenagers may be susceptible to health issues associated with watching 3D. It also goes on to say that pregnant women, the elderly with medical conditions and anyone overly tired should avoid 3D. There is also a warning about drinking alcohol and watching the TV at the same time, eliminating the cold beer with sports in 3D.

There are many advantages as well as disadvantages. Among those the great experience of immersing yourself in game or movie with a pair of a bit more stylish glasses than before. But cost, health issues, and lifestyle all will play a part in the decision. Deciding if you are ready or not for the new 3D TVs will play a major part in their attractiveness and their necessity in your home.
