It was only a few years ago that James Cameron’s action film Avatar revolutionized the way we watched movies. The high-tech, cutting edge stereoscopic three dimensional camera techniques wowed audiences around the world, not only with its visual fidelity, but with the ease and performance of the 3D projectors and lenses. As with all things concerning electronics, time has moved at warp speed and that amazing technology has now entered the homes of ordinary people. According to a survey done by DisplaySearch, over 40 million 3D televisions were shipped in the year of 2012, a gigantic jump over the mere 2 million sold the year after Avatar’s release. It’s obvious now that 3D televisions arethe way forward and will be the hot ticket item this holiday.

The new L7350 3D LED TV, for instance, comes packaged with built-in Wi-Fi with easy access to browse through popular services like YouTube and Netflix. Truly on the cutting edge, this television can communicate with your tablet and/or smartphone to share content back and forth. On the viewing side, these LED TVs offer unprecedented picture clarity with ClearScan technology, processing images at a super-speed 240Hz which reduces the blurring caused by video with fast action.

Now before purchasing a 3D television, it is important to discern the difference between “Passive 3D” and “Active 3D.” All 3D technology basically boils down to a high-tech illusion that visually converts a 2D image to a 3D image in your brain. Passive 3D uses simple polarized lenses to create this illusion. While these glasses are more lightweight and inexpensive, it comes at the cost of resolution. Active 3D, on the other hand, shows images in full high definition at their maximum resolution. Like most things, it is a tradeoff between price and quality.

While you can find both Passive and Active 3D televisions on the market, the aforementioned L7350 3D TV is of the Active variety, offering amazing full 1080P viewing in 2D and 3D modes. And the specialized tri-vector conversion technology transforms your favourite 2D TV programs, movies, or video games into a three dimensional marvel. Truly, it is a sight to see.
