3D-ready TV sets are those that can operate in 3D mode (in addition to regular 2D mode), in conjunction with a set-top-box and LCD shutter glasses, where the TV tells the glasses which eye should see the image being exhibited at the moment, creating a stereoscopic image. These TV sets usually support HDMI 1.4 and (if an LED-backlit LCD Television) a minimum (input and output) refresh rate of 120 Hz; glasses may be sold separately.
Panasonic already has several sets in the market, like the Panasonic Viera TC-P50VT200 which are 3D capable and come shipped with glasses. It has a retail price of approximately US$2,500. The Samsung UN46C7000 46-Inch 3D TV can be purchased for US$2,000.00 or less. There are numerous, relatively inexpensive models available from a number of manufacturers already in the summer of 2010.
Mitsubishi and Samsung utilize DLP technology from Texas Instruments.[7] As of January 2010, Samsung, LG,[8] Toshiba, Sony, and Panasonic all had plans to introduce 3D capabilities (mostly in higher-end models) in TVs available sometime in 2010.[9] 3D Blu-ray players went on sale in 2010, and Sky began 3D broadcasts in the UK on 3 April 2010. DirecTV broadcasts began with the 2010 FIFA World Cup in June 2010.[9] Samsung began selling the UN55C7000, its first 3D ready TV, late in February 2010.[10]
Philips was developing 3D television sets that would be available for the consumer market by about 2011 without the need for special glasses (autostereoscopy).[11] However it was canceled due to the slow adoption of customers going from 2D to 3D.
In August 2010, Toshiba announced plans to bring a range of autosteroscopic TVs to market by the end of the year.[12]
The Chinese manufacturer TCL Corporation has developed a 42-inch (110 cm) LCD 3D TV called the TD-42F, which is currently available in China. This model uses a lenticular system and does not require any special glasses (autostereoscopy). It currently sells for approximately $20,000.[13][14]
LG, Samsung, Sony, and Philips intend to increase their 3D TV offering with plans to make 3D TV sales account for over 50% of their respective TV distribution offering by 2012. It is expected that the screens will use a mixture of technologies until there is standardisation across the industry.[15] Samsung offers the LED 7000, LCD 750, PDP 7000 TV sets and the Blu-ray 6900.[16]
On June 9, 2010, Panasonic unveiled a 152 inches (390 cm) 3D-capable TV (the largest so far) that will go on sale within 2010. The TV, which is the size of about nine 50-inch TVs, will cost more than 50 million yen (US$576,000).[17]
