Samsung 3D Television Brings Back Memories: Do We Actually Want What This Latest And Expensive 3D Technology Provides?
Samsung launched it long awaited 3D Television. Samsung is a leader in Television for a long time and has constantly pioneered new technologies and offered its consumers with a revolutionary viewing experience.
Samsung's first 3D TV has been reviewed before release by the UK's largest technology site, techradar, who has nothing but glowing words to say about it, saying "we don't reckon you will be sorry you purchase this Samsung.
The MSG network spent tens of thousands of dollars to obtain special broadcasting machines, trained dozens of people and carefully recorded a 3D broadcast together with its HD and standard feeds of the March 24th Rangers vs Islanders hockey game.
Samsung is the first major manufacturer to announce plans to launch its Samsung 3D TV in Canada and began selling LED models of 3D. LED Televisions are thinner and more energy efficient than the LCD and plasma models most of the customers are familiar with, Samsung says.
But what about the millions of people who had purchased new high-definition Televisions. Analysts say they are unwilling to spend on one more upgrade any time soon, specially when viewers must wear special glasses to see images in 3D. Is this starting to look like what the PC companies and Microsoft are doing to us for years.
Everybody is familiar with what happens when a new technology is released. Prices for the new gadgets are at a premium until contest comes forward or patents come closer to end. The real question is, does this technology actually offer 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 TV. I predicted to go, "Wow," but didn't. Though some parts of the animated film did jump out at me briefly, I wasn't impressed
Until they develop some kind of projection technology that does not rely entirely on optical trickery I think 3D remains the scam that it is today.
In my view, stereoscopic 3D (S3D) is an approach to increase ticket sales at the theater and advertising for high-profile TV programming.
As long as the average customer purchases the latest gadget and continues their TV addiction, the S3D fad may run for a longer period 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 begin selling 3D plasmas, including a 50" for $2400 and a 63" for $4100. By May, Samsung would like to have two 3D LCD models available, a 46" for $1900 and a 55" for $2800.
But the costs increase 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.
Regardless of the costly initial outlay, Samsung's director of marketing for consumer electronics states he's confident about the products' launch but won't say anything about economic relief to the bought.
Are we prepared for this technology in a time that our own finances are strained? Will the majority of us just say: "I'm tired of getting pushed around by these companies." Or will we just be overcome by our wishes to have the latest and greatest.
I won't be purchasing into the hype anytime soon. The technology is very new for me at this level and the Samsung 3D glasses are way over priced in my opinion.
