Getting to grips with the best 3D TV and where to take hold of a buy .

3D has been easily obtainable in movie houses and theaters for a number of years and all major picture show releases are only in 3D or have a premium 3D feature.

Such is the importance of these motion picture shows with movie goers is that major television manufacturers have set about to release 3D televisions for the home market.

What used to be a very expensive technology is now offered at a price point which likens 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 theaters have got and require the blue and red disposable glasses. The 3D experience is fantastic but not as good as Active Stereo 3D which needs special battery powered glasses and syncs the 3D picture on the television system by manipulation of a set top infra red emitter which the glasses pick up.

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

A late introduction in the world of 3D is glasses free 3D. Now this may sound very impressive , no demand to buy or wear glasses but at this present time the technology is far from perfect. To see in true 3D on these types of television needs the viewer to be directly in front of the TV - a few degrees either side, or even stand up and the 3D impression is missed. It is not completely ready for the home market, is very pricey and should not be regarded for use in the home. We are holding an eye out on this technology (pardon the pun!) but dont expect anything moderately priced or viewable without glasses for the next few years.

Another major point to watch out for is the warrant . Try and find a shop that offers a prolonged warrantee although TV manufacturing businesses such as Samsung and Philips offer a 3 year warranty as standard. For such a large investment it may be prudent to even actually buy an extended warranty if not offered .

All 3D TVs are now HD as standard but you should opt for the full HD of 1040 choice to 720 that gives a slightly lesser quality picture. To add to that, for the full HD 3D experience you will require a Blu-Ray player. These are pricey 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 might also play the normal ones. Many manufacturing businesses offer a bundle of television system and Blu-Ray player often at a very discounted price so you should seek out these when looking around as they can save you a great deal of money when compared to buying them individually .

Samsung has by far the lions share in 3D television systems for the home and have a range that suits every pocket. As management in the field of 3D they should be at the top of your list when looking around for and selecting a 3D TV, although other manufacturing businesses such as Panasonic, Philips, Sony and LG also have a respectable range.
