3DTVwatcher feels bittersweet happiness today. According to recent reports, Toshiba has unveiled its beast of 3D TV yesterday and has now started shipping the 55-incher to the UK.
That’s really impressive, who wouldn’t want to have such a monster in their living room? Plus it is glasses-free and you don’t have to sit awkwardly in a fixed position the whole time.
So why does 3DTVwatcher feel that someone squeezed a whole lemon on our chocolate-chip cheesecake? Probably because we’re lost as to where we’ll put all…

3D TV is forever improving, however with early claims that its introduction was the biggest endeavour since living colour, so far sales have been disappointing.
The 3D glasses that, until now, were a fundamental part of 3D viewing did not help matters.
Having to wear bulky, heavy glasses when watching telly in your living room, is not the leading selling point.
Industry insiders speculate that consumers are simply waiting for the technology to improve before committing. There is also a high chance…

The newest 3D TV that can be watched without the use of 3D glasses was unveiled by Toshiba yesterday at the IFA Consumer Electronics Show in Berlin.
The 55-inch TV put Toshiba ahead of its electronics rivals such as Sony and Samsung.

Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer Toshiba is upping the ante when it comes to 3D TV, and that’s not the only thing they’re upping.
The AV giant released its first autostereoscopic 3D TVs in 2010 to disappointing sales, although large figures have never been expected for a product that was both expensive and somewhat of a prototype for glasses free 3D TV.
The 22 inch screen sizes were also a drawback, especially given that at present glasses-free 3D TV requires the viewer to sit face on to…

Toshiba is set to showcase its latest 3D TV offering at next month’s CES show in Las Vegas, USA. The company has taken its first tentative steps into autostereoscopic 3D TV (3D that doesn’t require glasses) with a 12″ and 20″ screen, but is set to reveal some larger screens.
The technology required to show 3D content without the need for glasses is suited better to smaller screens, and at present is proving difficult to bring to 3D TVs that have a screen…

Sky 3D is set to launch this week, and among it’s many exciting programmes features Dance, Dance, Dance, produced by Fresh One Productions.
The programme is scheduled amongst other 3D features as a refreshing break from the sports and movie content which is currently leading the 3D charge at launch. It also provides something of an antidote to what is being referred to by many as a predominantly male-orientated format, as 3DTVWatcher has previously reported.
Without making sweeping generalisations (ED: no, let’s not do…

Toshiba have weighed in to the 3DTV technology furore by revealing their Regaza WL768 series of LED TVs, the stylish and hi-tech range designed by Jacob Jensen and revealed at the IFA fair in Berlin. The new range is equipped to transmit 3D straight out of the box, unlike other manufacturer’s products that are ’3D ready’ and require an extra transmitter. The Japanese electronic giants are even throwing in a pair of shutter glasses for the active technology used in the LED sets, which…
