UK has witnessed a digital switchover and the arrival of high definition TV following which the arrival of 3D TV technology does make confuse people to some extent.

Till date, people use to venture to movie halls and theatres for better movie experience i.e through large screens and better sound quality apart from air conditioned halls. But with the availability of home theatres, digital TV and high definition set top boxes; more and more people now prefer to get entertained at home itself. This does mean they save up on quite a lot of money while they get to watch their preferred programme or movie at a time convenient to them.

As we all know 3D TV is known to display two different images of the same scene for the eyes which are capable of seeing one scene at a time. The projection of these two scenes is done to add an illusion of third dimension, thus creating a 3D effect.

Moreover the need to venture out for watching 3D TV movie has equally diminished with the availability of affordable 3D TV sets in the market. The prime manufacturers ...
... of these TV sets include LG, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic and Vizio. Most of these 3D TV sets air programmes in high definition 3D format which implies superior technology available at a slightly higher price.

In order to popularize 3D TV, Sky 3D TV, UK's leading digital TV provider and LG, a top electronics manufacturer are promoting 3D TV under a joint effort.
In fact, Sky has gone ahead to launch the Sky 3D TV channel which can be viewed through Sky+HD box at no extra cost. Sky has also installed 3D TV sets at popular pubs and restaurants enabling the guests to view 3D TV programmes and sports events in particular.

Since 3D TV is at a developing stage, people do need to buy multiple 3D glasses which are slightly expensive in order to ensure that the entire family is able view programmes together. On the other hand TV content in 3D format is considerable less for TV providers are still in the process of converting their 2D programmes into 3D format.

Being skeptical about the future of 3D TV, most of us know that 3D format is just an illusion for 3D objects cannot be viewed on a flat surface with extreme ease. In case you wish to really enjoy 3D TV, you need to watch it from a relatively near distance and also from a special angle. Also, do bear in mind that some people are unable to spot the 3 dimensional effect which does imply TV manufacturer have to still a long way to go in order to ensure that these people can also mark the difference and enjoy 3D TV as well.

3D TV concept is going to stay but with rapid changes in TV technology such as Blue Ray, 3D Full HD and other technologies when the 3D technology finally stabilize is difficult to estimate.
