Sony TVs To Go 100% 3D By 2011

Though Sony has been leading the drive to 3D-ize its products, 3D TVs won’t be the norm on its 40-inch and up TVs until the end of 2011. In fact, compared to the new lines from competitors Toshiba and Fujitsu,

Sony has been rather quiet about its plans for 3D TV even when the 3D craze has already touched most of its upcoming products. Despite this, Sony does have plans to capture 50% of the 3D market in Japan, though Sony won’t make 3D the new standard on its cheaper TVs.

Sony also premiered its upcoming VAIO notebook that represents the tip of the iceberg of its 3D computer plans. The new VAIO has LED backlighting, a Blu-Ray drive, and a full 16-inch HD display. Expected to hit Japanese stores first, mum’s the word on other Sony 3D PCs in the works.

In the meantime, those among you still interested in notebooks beter start your Christmas want lists early.

SAMSUNG AND TOSHIBA FIGHT TO GAIN CONTROL OF GLASSES-FREE 3D TV SEGMENT

It seems its conflicting times that lies ahead for Samsung and Toshiba as these two companies are willing to leave no stones unturned to find out who will be the trend setter in glasses-free 3D TV segment. It can be mentioned here that the first glasses-free 3D TV sets from Toshiba made its debut in Asia amidst mixed reviews.

The 12 and 20 inch models of the Toshiba glasses free 3D TVs were available for the Japanese customers before Christmas last year. Coming with a quite hefty price tag of around $1500 for the smaller set and about $3000 for the larger set, Toshiba however found actual sales figures were trailing its earlier estimates.

In the meantime, Samsung recently launched a monster 55 inch glasses free 3D TV set at a technology show in Shanghai, China. However as it is a prototype it is not expected to hit markets in the next few years. But then, those who got to see the demo were clearly impressed with what the 3D TV has to offer, which means the Samsung offering can be worth waiting for.

So even if you are unwilling to wait that long and have already firmed up plans to buy a glasses free 3D TVset this year itself, well it can definitely be said that conditions have improved as far as contents go. Like there are available quite a few movies in 3D format though we can surely do with some more. Then 3DS gaming system from Nintendo is also available. It definitely sounds good, except for a little fact that there is no supported way to install Nintendo 3DS in a 3D or non 3D TV set.

Many channels have also now started or are in active stages of beaming programs in 3D format, like live telecast and so on. For instance, DirecTV has quite a few of them; in fact they have 4 dedicated 3D channels where you can view movies, sports, nature programs, documentaries etc
