Samsung 3D TVs do not come packaged with the required 3D Glasses. Consumers will be expected to spend around $150 (£100) per pair before viewing 3D programmes. It is fair to assume most consumers will need to purchase more than one pair of 3D glasses, adding extra expense to the 3D TV price tag.
The glasses are unlike those used in cinemas to view films such as ‘Avatar’ or ‘Up’ and contain liquid crystal lenses. They are battery powered and the active shutter glasses communicate directly with the television alternating between light and dark hundreds of times per second. The 3D glasses are wireless, as expected, but are currently only available in one size posing an inconvenient short-term problem for children wishing to view 3D films and programmes using Samsungs new 3D active shutter glasses.
Competitors will undoubtedly strive to include at least a pair of 3D glasses with television sets in an attempt compete with Samsung’s rapid release into the 3D TV market.
