With the advent of 3D TV, the whole viewing concept has taken a different direction. All thanks to the polarized 3D glasses, that has revolutionized the viewing experience. It is 3D glasses that make the 3D illusion since, it confines the light which reaches human eye. You would have been hearing about 3D for ages but the content has picked up recently.

It would not be an overestimation to say that 3D technologies are impeccable as, Avatar is an apt example to judge. However, there are some drawbacks of 3D glasses that a watcher must have noticed it, such as dimness of the image and difficulty in viewing with a tilted head causing color change and ghosting as well. 3D watchers also suffer from headaches, eye pain and nausea.

Fortunately, there is an array of 3D glasses available today, depending on the technology. The first one is Shutter Glass technology used by Samsung 3D TV. This technology’s 3D glasses are troublesome to watch for long duration since, it requires batteries to operate, making the glasses heavy. Another technology is FPR (Film Patterned Retarder), which has wide-angle view ability (even in a laid-back position). Moreover, as FPR do not need batteries hence, its 3D glasses are lightweight, making the viewing experience comfortable than ever.

To conclude, it is significant to understand the pros and cons of each advanced technology present, before you think to buy 3D TV and glasses.you think to buy 3D TV and glasses.

Electronics market is booming with an array of 3D products. Recently, Vienna University of Technology has developed the smallest printer, which is not only small and light but even cheap, as compared to other 3D printers. It will not only help to enhance the 3D content but is helpful for printing out customized 3D objects at home. Now with great 3D softwares and printers, the user will be able to provide in depth view of the object such as building.

Undoubtedly, 3D content is extending its realm everywhere and with the 3D TV market, picking up it is likely that it is here to stay. A plethora of 3D TV is showcased for the prospective customers to choose from according to size, price and features. There has been an ongoing problem with the viewers, as their eyes pain, feels nausea and headaches after watching 3D content. But, with the fantastic technology employed in 3D TV all the aforementioned problems are resolved. The technology is referred as ‘Film Patterned Retarder’ (FPR) which runs battery less, offers ultimate brightness and has wide viewing flexibility as well. Moreover, converting of 2D to 3D, streaming of online content, storing movies & photos and many more other features are available on 3D TV. The 3D glasses weigh only 16 gms and also come in a party box (pack of 5).

It appears that it is time for us to have 3D electronics at home since, everyone likes to walk with the latest trends.

Here it comes, a 3D body scanner for all the fashionable women in town, as it has an ability to identify an ideal pair of jeans, size and style. It is 10 ft tall machine and is available at Manchester’s shopping mall. As of now, one of the leading London fashion chains Peacock is testing the machine and it is likely that other high street fashion brands would be following soon. After scanning the body from 16 angles for measurement, the machine creates the customer’s body shape swiftly. With this 3D body scanner, finding the right pair of jeans will not be a tedious job, anymore.


It is not only fashion industry where 3D has taken a revolution rather it is widening in every sector esp. the electronics market. Various leading television brands such as Samsung, Panasonic, and LG have unveiled 3D TVs to give world, a 3D experience at home. As it is a tough job to choose an apt TV for yourself hence, it is always recommended to go for the best technology, which has an assurance to give you the best output.

Thus, there are two types of technology available for 3D TV – Shutter Glass (SG) and FPR technology. SG technology is used by many eminent television brands such as Samsung & Panasonic. This technology removes the problem of ghosting and runs with the help of batteries.

It is fixed in 3D glasses that make the frame heavy and viewing for long hours, difficult. Another one is FPR technology, which has battery free glasses that weighs just half, if compared to the conventional SG technology glasses. Moreover, since, the battery is not attached to the 3D glasses therefore, no harmful radiations can affect your health. This technology is only used by LG 3D TV and is the first one to be a certified flicker free 3D TV in the world.

Thinking to buy best TV

After a tiring week at workstation, all I could think of, is to be a couch potato so that I can catch up with my favorite series especially Gossip Girl, How I Met Your Mother and many more. However, since I am almost hooked to my laptop at office, my eyes gets tired often and it demands rest on weekends, making me miss my TV shows. Consequently, I blamed my idiot box since, I realized that it was creating my television experience tiresome.

So I made a decision to buy a new TV, but did not realize that buying it would become a tedious job. I was very puzzled, after seeing a plethora of TV units at the store and the grumpy salesman could not convince me for a particular LCD. So finally, an idea cropped my mind that jotting down the features would help me to understand that which is the best TV to buy. And, I am sure that there are other people as well, who would have struck up in the same position like me.

To start with, I had shortlisted few TV models according to picture quality, features and value for money of different brands such as Sony, Panasonic, LG and Samsung. But suddenly, it just clicked my mind that in this technology era, it is important to understand about TV technology too, for a long life of the electronic device (after all we are paying the hard earned money). too, for a long life of the electronic device (after all we are paying the hard earned money).

Since I live alone in an apartment, hence, television is the only source of entertainment I have and therefore, I went next day with a prepared mind to buy the TV. This time I had a clear picture in my mind that what I want to purchase - a TV that solves my eye pain issues mainly.

All prepared I entered the electronic store with a vivid picture in my mind for my TV. After looking at all the TV displayed, I finally had to tell them about my old TV problems and how it hurts my eye and gives me eye pain as well. With a warm smile the sales representative took me to the LG section and the first question, which popped, was “Why LG?” and he answered “Because it has FPR”. And I felt so ignorant that I am not aware of this technology at all and then he explained me about the conventional Shutter Glass (SG) and FPR. 





 So for all of you, who are out there planning to buy a TV, should be aware of this technologies because longevity of the television set does matter. To start with, shutter glass technology runs with battery, eradicates the problem of ghosting i.e. copy of the transmitted visual, and is inexpensive too. The second one is FPR, which makes the LCD, LED and 3D TV flicker free, high brightness level, and a high response rate. With this technology, I will not feel nausea, eye pain and headaches. Then, I ultimately felt that ‘yes it is FPR technology which will make my viewing experience worthwhile’.
