Samsung LED 9000 3D TV
3D TV
Samsung has launched a much-anticipated slew of 3D-ready TV offerings at CES.
The flagship LED 9000 series is just 0.3-inches thin, literally as thin as a pencil, with sleek brush metal frame and the ability to convert 2D content to 3D in real time, just like Toshiba’s Cell. The LED TV 8000 and 7000 series also boast 3D support out of the box. Excitingly the touch-screen 9000 remote can display live TV feeds while your main panel shows a Blu-ray, for example. In addition, when you move near the TV, it automatically opens up the button control panel for you. The old-school LCD-driven versions – 750 Series – also support 3D technology.
Entertainment enthusiasts can also enjoy 3D content on their Blu-ray player for the first time with the launch of the BD-C6900 as well as a 3D Blu-ray home theatre system which Samsung are calling the ultimate complete 3D home eco system that aims to deliver the “complete cinema quality 3D experience at home.” The range will be compatible with Sky’s 3D TV service, set to launch later this year.
You’ll still need to put on a pair of specs to enjoy the full 3D experience which Samsung will also supply.

How Does 3D TV Work (Source: Internet)
The process that creates 3D images is known as Stereoscopy and creates the illusion of depth. In the real world, each of our eyes view objects at a slightly different angle producing two slightly different images. Our brain then then merges the two images together to form our 3D view of the world.
3D images work in a very similar way to this Films and programmes are recorded using special cameras which record the dual images required. There are two main methods for displaying 3D images. The Anaglyph method is the technique that uses the Red-Cyan glasses we all know so well!
The prefered method now being used in films and tv programmes is a process known as polarisation, the process that was mainly used in the early 50's during the "3D Movie Craze".
Anaglyph Method
The anaglyph method produces two slightly offset images, each individually tinted in either red or cyan. The red-cyan glasses then filter the light appropriately, meaning individual eyes only see the image meant for them. The brain then merges the two slightly different images to produce the 3D effect. This is the main process currently being used on 3D Blu-Ray releases and on TV broadcasts.
Polarised Method
Another polarised method is one which is becoming the method of choice when displaying 3D images. Two images are projected at right angles to each other which are then filtered by the polarising glasses, again meaning each individual eye only sees the image intended for it, much in the same was as the anaglyph method. Polarisation is the main method that will be used by 3D TV.Another method that uses glasses is known as Alternate-frame sequencing (Active Shutter).
Left and Right images are played alternatly at 48fps, and the glasses open and close the shutters over the eyes to ensure each eye sees the correct image. This requires linking the glasses to the hardware playing the images to syncronise the opening and closing of the shutters. This method has generally been overtaken by the Polarisation method.
The final method involves no glasses at all, and is called Autostereoscopy. The method is not practical at this time for use in the home, although many manufacturers already have screen using the technology. In particlar the Philips WOW VX uses this technology but was only made available to professional markets. Hopefully the technology will become available for the home at some point in the future!
