State of 3D Blu-Ray Today
It is a bit unfortunate that there are no Full HD 3D Blu-ray discs available for sale in the market. Samsung’s 3D packages provide Monsters vs. Aliens as a part of their package, but Panasonic only has a promotional test disc offering a sample of high quality 3D imagery.
It cannot be predicted exactly as to which titles and when they will be available for sale in the market. Additionally, the Panasonic television is currently only offered in a 50″ model, with larger 54″, 58″, and 65″ variations scheduled for release at a later date.
Blu-ray.com is always striving to offer the best, fastest and most complete Blu-ray coverage everywhere. It is once again on the cutting edge of the high definition Blu-ray revolution with this basic overview and review of Panasonic’s brand-new 3D hardware that’s just now begun to seep into Best Buy stores over the past weeks. Both the striking TC-P50VT20 50″ 3D Viera plasma television and the Panasonic DMP-BDT300 3D Blu-ray player provide an incredible home theater experience. It delivers a nearly flawless 3D performance and one of the best 2D Blu-ray picture qualities available on the market today.
The 3D viewing glasses are still not very stylish. Each pair costs around $ 150 and is usually included in the package of a 3D TV and a Blu-ray player. Each pair of glasses come with a hard plastic storage case, two attachable/detachable nosepiece options, and an optional head strap for 3D viewers. The glasses provide the 3D effect in both a lighted and darkened room, but a darkened room is preferable. The glasses are powered by a coin-shaped lithium battery in the eyewear frame. Someday 3D viewing will be possible without the need for eyewear and there’s no doubt that 3D glasses will over time, become smaller, lighter, sleeker – and more comfortable.
