Korean companies such as Samsung and LG seem to like pushing the way forward for 3D devices and appliances. LG’s Optimus Max 3D is no exception as LG tries to push the envelope in portable devices.
The Optimus Max is LG’s latest portable device that has been generating buzz for some time.
It is a fully 3D portable entertainment system and soon consumers will be able to get a look at the device at the 2012 Mobile World Congress (MWC).
The device boasts a number of impressive stats…

It seems that there is a new factor hotels should consider if they want to get that five star rating.
Manila Hotel in the Philippines decided to include a 3D TV in its Presidential Suite, mainly Samsung’s 40-inch 3D TV along with a few pairs of 3D glasses and a Blu-ray Player, just in case guests brought a few 3D DVDs or tridimensional games with them.
Nevertheless, the pure 3D luxury has been introduced only to one…

LG recently claimed its 3D TVs were superior to Sony and Samsung’s based on the findings from its ‘blind test’ survey.
LG is planning on using these findings as a basis for a new advertising campaign which has greatly upset Sony in particular.
LG’s website has already used these findings to promote its 3D TVs using the slogan:
“3 Brands. 3 Dimensions. One Clear Winner” and it also stated that: “In 3D TV tests, 4 out of 5 people…

LG has recently conducted a cinema challenge in Westfield shopping centres around Australia, which found that 80 per cent of people preferred LG’s passive 3D TVs to active shutter technology offered by its rivals, Sony and Samsung.
The poll was put together using a ‘blind test’ meaning members of the public were invited to view two 3D TVs with all the branding labels removed. They then indicated which 3D TV they thought provided the best “viewing experience” when compared side by side.
Reportedly over 4,000 Australians…

A collaboration between the three big companies specialising in 3D to bring standardised glasses is now underway.
A statement from Sony announced that the “Full HD 3D Glasses initiative” was right on track, revealing that the companies involved were now working together to develop standard 3D glasses.
Back in August Samsung, Sony and Panasonic said that they would work together to bring a standard to active 3D glasses.
The standardisation of those would mean that everyone interested could have a special set instead…

It seems that researchers cannot agree on what effect the 3D format might have on our eyes.
A study conducted by the Journal of Vision which was partly funded by a research arm of Samsung, revealed that the 3D experience strains the eyes and results into fatigue and blurred vision after watching.
In extreme cases, some people have experienced nausea, dizziness and headaches.
The news may be bad for 3D TV manufacturers as it is claimed that the problems mainly occur if the…

Samsung and RealD are teaming up to improve 3D viewing on 3D TVs, with the world’s leading manufacturer of tridimensional TVs seeking the expertise of the 3D technology firm that produces a lot of the technology used in cinemas.
It was announced earlier this year that there was a partnership in the offing, but more details have come to light about what is involved.
The new tech which will feature in Samsung’s 3D TV models will produce a brighter, clearer picture through an active shutter system…

Further to 3DTVWatcher’s report yesterday about Samsung’s investment in MasterImage 3D, the company has now stated that autostereoscopic 3D is ten years away.
Glasses free 3D TV has been the subject of much debate in recent months, with some manufacturers already producing smaller screens and monitors that are capable of playing 3D, with the Nintendo 3DS the latest autostereoscopic addition to the market.
The problem with glasses-free 3D TV is that is requires the viewer to sit almost motionless, directly facing the…

Samsung Ventures has invested in MasterImage 3D with the latter recently developing autostereoscopic 3D technology.
The debate continues amongst 3D market observers about whether autostereoscopic, 3D which doesn’t require glasses, or stereoscopic, which does require glasses, is better.
It seems that whichever way 3D is likely to develop manufacturers are preparing for consumer’s decisions by investing in both technologies.
Korean manufacturer LG is currently the most notable glasses free 3D technology developer, but now it seems Samsung, the worldwide market leader in…

The 3D TV market is highly competitive, but the current market leader Samsung isn’t solely concerned with maintaining its 60% market share of 3D TVs, and is also investing in 3D monitors.
The two latest offerings from Samsung Electronics America are TA950 and the TA750, both boasting a raft of features that will have PC gamers looking to buy 3D rubbing their nimble hands together in glee.
Young Bae, director of display marketing for the Enterprise Business Division of Samsung said:
“As all the major studios and…
