Several years ago, when the 3D TV line was introduced, it caused a massive frenzy in the TV market. Many households spared no expense in acquiring one, despite the steep price tag at the time. However, this frenzy proved to be short-lived, and over time, this TV line has become increasingly obsolete. So, what does the future hold for this 3D TV line?
What Lies Ahead for 3D TV Lines - Are They Facing Extinction?
What is 3D TV?
3D TVs are television sets with the capability to display images in three-dimensional space. The working principle involves the screen simultaneously displaying two frames, one for the left eye and one for the right eye.
What is 3D TV?
However, when watching TV with 3D content, viewers need to use 3D glasses for assistance to fully experience it. Vision is deceived by the illusions created by the two frames, which are then combined and, with the help of the glasses, produce a three-dimensional image. Therefore, if you want to watch 3D content, specialized glasses are necessary.
3D Glasses
Presently, 3D imaging technology is divided into two types: active 3D technology and passive 3D technology.
There are 2 types of imaging technologies for 3D
Manufacturer's Actions Regarding This Product Line
According to information from the renowned Forbes magazine, two giants, Samsung and Philips, were the first to announce their intention to phase out this technology starting from 2016. They assert that there will be no more 3D imaging features on any TV models produced by the company.
Samsung discontinues 3D TVs, focusing primarily on 4K and QLED models
Recently, two other major manufacturers, LG and Sony, have also officially discontinued this TV line. Following suit, smaller companies like Vizio, Sharp, and TCL are also reconsidering their plans to introduce entirely new 3D TVs.
Other companies are also gradually phasing out this product line
Why are 3D TVs being phased out?
The primary reason for this 'termination' is the inconvenience of use. Currently, there are few 3D video sources, making it difficult for users to find content. Additionally, the necessity of using glasses for every viewing session adds significant inconvenience, especially for those with visual impairments. Extended use can also lead to eye strain and increased drowsiness compared to regular TVs.
Encountering Many Usage Inconveniences
Another reason is the current market trend dominated by the competition among industry giants in producing 4K, OLED, QLED, Smart TVs, etc. These TVs meet user demands exceptionally well, with relatively more affordable prices. According to research data from NPD, the annual sales figures of 3D TVs have seen significant declines, prompting manufacturers to phase out this product line to mitigate losses.
Technologies such as 4K, OLED, QLED, etc., are the primary focus of manufacturers
The 'termination' of the 3D TV line might have been anticipated by many, but who knows, in the future, 3D TVs may be 'revived' with various other modern technologies, perhaps even without the need for glasses. Hopefully, Mytour supermarket has brought you an article with useful information.
