The next stage in TV viewing could be here as LG unveiled a 3D TV at CES. The TVs will be for mainstream viewing and will cost extra (around $1000/ £615) plus viewers will need to wear some kind go viewing glasses to get the best from the broadcast. LG’s head of technology, Woo Paik, told the Daily Telegraph, “Without glasses it can be very tiring for your eyes. You can sacrifice too much resolution. It’s good for gaming, but for movies you need to settle down with the glasses.”
Films are already being made with 3D technology anmd include Shrek Goes Fourth and Toy Story 3. Both games companies and Sky are also making headway with the technology with Sky suggesting that 3D broadcasts could be transmitted in time for the 2012 London Olympics.
However, there is some scepticism. As people watch their money, will anyone be prepared to spend an extra $1000 on a TV set. Would you?
