Are you excited to go to your local Best Buy and check out the new 3D Televisions being shown? Well unless you recently won the lottery or came out on the winning side of a lawsuit, I’d suggest waiting until the price of the newfangled Televisions and gear come down… a lot!
Actually, forget about the outrageous cost of the TV … the glasses alone will bankrupt you! Here’s the listing from BestBuy Canada for their glasses kit:
New! Samsung 3D Kit-3D Glasses And Movie.
$449.99
And here’s the product description and features (As listed on the site):
“At less than 30g and styled into a form-fitting sunglasses-type frame, Samsung’s 3D Active Glasses are the perfect fit for you and your 3D-compatible components. Plus, this cool kit includes the Monsters vs. Aliens 3D Blu-ray movie so you can start your 3D movie collection right away….Samsung 3D Active glasses enable a uniquely realistic 3D viewing experience and contain a built-in emitter. As the image is split into left and right eye signals on your 3D TV screen, the 3D active glasses alternately darken in perfect synchronization with the TV’s refresh rate, and generate a pure 3D image that’s free from ghosting and visual distortion.”
Now add to this that a 3D Blu Ray Player costs over $400, the Televisions are 60% more expensive then 2D models ($2500 for 40′/ $2900 for 46′/ $3700 for 55″ -Prices in CAN dollars) and you got yourself a real downer on an otherwise wicked new technology.
Here’s a new news report detailing the 3D tech in case you’ve been living under a 2D rock:
