What is a "3D" television .?

Marcellus Yoshimori: it's a tv capable of showing you movies in 3D, if the movies have that optionand you will have to wear 3D glasses, as far as i know

Shelley Stevens: Mr. President, if you're familiar with Mr. Franklin's experiments with electricity, imagine a magic lantern show where images of people and events are carried via electricity and magnetic power through space, and viewed through a glass window set in a box in the home. In this way, you and Mrs. Washington can, for a nominal fee, see and listen to reports of newsworthy events, see plays and theatrical performances, attend a worship service, take advantage of the teachings of famous men and women throughout the world, as well as travel, as it were, in your armchair, to distant lands without discomfort or fatigue. Please also note that the images in the television will also try to sell you laxatives, dog's food, and computing devices to travel the Internet's aether....Show more

Rubi Romo: Its that! kind of TV that Timmy Turner is able to go into with his magic remotes that he gets from his Fairy God Parents Wanda and Cosmo.

Angelyn Ducas: For 3d to work you need two images of everything. One image for the right eye and one for the left. In the theater they use polarized 3d with passive glasses, meaning they have no moving parts and do not use electricity to work. That is because all the left eye images have one light wave and all right eye images a different light wave. Then the glasses can block and unblock those light waves so they don't reach the incorrect eye.Now for television they have a problem. It is hard to get all the pixels to do two different light waves. That is why you always see those red and blue glasses called anaglyph 3d. It uses two colors to do the blocking and unblocking, the doube images are red and blue as well. All you need is something that can produce color to use that 3d format.So to get polarized like 3d they use in theaters t! hey use another 3d format called field sequencial. This uses ! shutter glasses that must use eletricity to work. One lens will open while the other one closes and they do this back and forth real fast, and at the same time the image for that eye will flash on the screen while that lens is open. Since lcd and plasma came out they only refreshed at 60 hz per second. The 3d video looked choppy. With the 120hz or higher rates they can refresh 120 time per second so the video looks smoother. That is a 3d television.Nvidia is the only company I know of right now that has the shutter glasses, transmitter/converter box that tells the glasses when to open and close and converts the video for your television so the images flash on screen like they are suppose to. It will only work with your computer. In the future they will come out with movies in field sequencial and converter boxes for just a television. But for now you will have to go with nvidia that uses 3d pc games. Here is a video that explains it....Show more
