Coming to grips with the suitable 3D TV and the place where to take hold of a bargain .

This week Katanga has uploaded the UK's 1st price comparing website specialising in 3D TV's. 3D has been easily obtainable in movie theaters and theaters for assorted years and all major film releases are alone in 3D or have a premium 3D feature.

Such is the popularity of these flicks with movie goers is that major television system manufacturers have got to release 3D televisions for the home market.

What used to be a very expensive technology is now offered up at a cost which equates well to normal TVs and provides all the usual features such as HD, built in Freeview and Dolby Surround Sound but also enhances the experience with 3D.
There are two main types of 3D, Active and Passive. Passive 3D is that which the movie houses have and want the blue and red disposable glasses. The 3D experience is ideal but not as good as Active Stereo 3D which requires special battery powered glasses and synchronizes the 3D picture on the television by manipulation of a set top infra red emitter which the glasses pick up.

The picture on an Active 3D television is far, far superior to passive (red and blue glasses) and if you can pay the additional premium in cost then you should definitely choose to purchase one of these 3D TVs.

A recent first appearance in the world of 3D is glasses free 3D. Now this may sound breathtaking, no need to buy or wear glasses but at this present time the technology is far from perfect. To watch in true 3D on these types of television involves the viewer to be immediately in front of the TV - a few degrees either side, or even stand up and the 3D effect is lost . It is not completely ready for the home market, is very pricey and should not be regarded for use in the home. We are keeping an eye out on this technology (pardon the pun!) but dont expect anything reasonably priced or watchable without glasses for the next few years.

Another major point to take into consideration is the warrantee. Try and find a shop that offers a prolonged warrant although TV makers such as Samsung and Philips offer a 3 year warranty as standard. For such a large investiture it may be prudent to even pay for an extended warranty if not offered .

All 3D TVs are now HD as standard but you should opt for the full HD of 1040 instead of 720 that provides a slightly lesser quality picture. To add to that, for the full HD 3D experience you will require a Blu-Ray player. These are very costly when compared to standard DVD players but to enjoy full HD quality then these players are a must, combined of course with Blu-Ray DVDs although they will also play the normal ones. Many makers offer a package of television and Blu-Ray player often at a very discounted price so you should seek out these when exploring as they can save you a great deal of money when compared to buying them individually .

Katanga equates prices from over 20 High Street and Internet only retail merchants and produces an easy to view price comparison table to exhibit would be purchasers the cheapest destination online to choose their new HD 3D TV.
