World’s first 3D TV without glasses unveiled – but it’s only 20 inches wide
The world’s first 3D television that doesn’t require glasses has hit the market.
Toshiba unveiled the high-definition liquid crystal display 3D television that does not require the special glasses – one of the biggest consumer complaints about the technology.
The Tokyo-based company hopes this could be the breakthrough that brings 3D TV to the masses.
Toshiba describes the TVs as being for ‘personal use’.
Whether consumers embrace the new TVs remains to be seen. Many might be put off by the fact that they’ll have to be very close to the screen for the 3D effect to really work – not to mention the steep price tag.
Electronics and entertainment companies around the world are banking on 3D to fuel a new boom in TV, movies and games.
