Toshiba Says Death to 3d Glasses!
August 24th, 2010
Sales of 3D TVs for the home have not been that great. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out the reasons why. The 3D TVs on the market right now are expensive, and the active glasses most of them require are expensive too. Many consumers have just been holding out and waiting for sets that don’t need glasses to land.
We know the tech for 3D with no glasses is there thanks to Nintendo and others. The good news is that if you have been holding out for a 3D TV, Santa may want to pack one up for your Christmas gift. Toshiba is reportedly set to offer three new TVs that support 3D without needing glasses.
We have no hard details on the sets at the moment, but my money says the three models will only differ in screen size. The sets will reportedly cost “several thousand dollars” and will land in time for Christmas. Maybe it’s time to start saving!

I’ve seen some of these glasses-free prototype before, and the problem is that they only can be viewed from a handful of very specific angles, and the resolution is also greatly diminished. I’ll be curious to see what Toshiba comes up with.
We wont have real 3D TV until commercialized holographic technology is invented and mass produced (another 30-40 years?).
Very likely this Toshiba invention is going to flop.
It seems like 3D is everywhere lately but I haven’t actually heard of anyone buying these TVs
Our company have a number kinds of 3d glasses, including the new active shutter glasses that used for Samsung TV, if you have any interesting, pleast send email to janet666@hotmail.com
