-The history of TV is that it has been around for a long time but the introduction of HD, higher resolution, and 3DTV a lot has changed
Thesis: I would buy a 3DTV because it’s an all around better viewing experience and I already spend a lot of time in front of the television.
• New technology brings clarity in picture
o Source 1, Quote 1
• 3D is leading to new technology besides TV, huge productions of non glasses television are being made for commercial use
o Source 3, Quote 1
• Glasses may seem stupid but their innovative and add to the whole viewing experience. Glasses wirelessly sync with the television to give you the perfect angles which is better than red and blue
o Source 1, Quote 4
o Source 2, Quote 1 (explains that glasses are better)
• OBJECTIONS
• Overwhelming picture : people usually do not receive headaches unless long exposure to television or pre existing condition
o Source 1, Quote 5 and 2
• Will I always have to watch in 3D?, that could be a pain
o Source 1, Quote 6 and 4
• They cost too much money!!!!
• And I hate the glasses: my thoughts are that I think 3DTV without the glasses is not fully developed and companies have run out of research money. If we buy the latest 3DTV we can help fuel even better creations in the near future so that we can get rid of those glasses
o Source 6, Quote 1
o Source 5, Quote 1
Teacher Note: I added quotes and one more source to my source paper but did not post it on the blog, and that is why some numbers may not correspond with my previous post.

While shopping at best buy today I saw a 3D TV and it looked amazing already, I did not see the full viewing experience as I did not see any glasses. They are quite impressive looking and about an inch thick. I already knew this but worth including that in order to watch movies on a 3D TV you need a 3D blu-ray player, also to mention blu-ray is spelled without the “E”, and you also need to purchase blu-ray 3D movies. Not usually cheap but blu-ray players are becoming more affordable now and Sony will release an update for the PS3 that will let you instantly let you enjoy a 3D experience without having to buy a 3D blu-ray player, as the Sony Playstation is the only game console that will play blu-ray movies.
Intro and Conclusion
-Intro-
The introduction of 3D television is a big leap forward in flat panel HDTV’S in creating a whole new experience for the viewer. As I go on I will show you that watching in three dimensions instead of two is worth buying a new television, and creating that one of a kind eye popping picture
-Conclusion-
Adopting and embracing the new technology of a 3D television is well worth it as you will enjoy the utmost quality of television also it is very enjoyable to show off to your friends or the enjoy a great movie beyond anything seen before. That is why your next TV should be a 3D one.

http://news.cnet.com/3d-tv-faq/
The 3D hype of avatar started news and interest in 3D Televisions and this article attempts to answer all the questions you might be asking
1. “Most people are familiar with the old anaglyph method, where a pair of glasses with lenses tinted red and cyan (or other colors) is used to combine two false-color images. The result seen by the viewer is discolored and usually lower-resolution than the new method. The principal improvements afforded by new 3D TV technologies are full color and high resolution”
2. “Between 5 percent and 10 percent of Americans suffer from stereo blindness, according to the College of Optometrists in Vision Development”
http://blogs.courant.com/roger_catlin_tv_eye/2010/04/test-driving-3d-tv.html
A price comes at having a 3D television and without the glasses you can be quite puzzled at how you are going to watch the television in the first place.
1. “Golf seems a natural.”You have the field and it moves slowly," he says. Football and basketball are a little harder to adjust to (and hockey is toughest, with the glass and fans in the foreground and the players flat on the ice with the puck).”
2. “What's surprising is the pace of acceptance of 3D on TV with industry analysts predicting 1 million sets sold this year, 14 million next year and 40 million by 2014.”
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/3DTV-autostereoscopic-CES,review-1490.html
You can have 3D television without the glasses but you can either pay 20,000 dollars or wait until they developed this new 3D technology a little further
1. “In general, most of the companies looking to enter the non-glasses 3D market are first approaching it from the retail and commercial perspective: screens that show advertising in public spaces, rather than in products designed for the home market”
2. “A prototype at Samsung’s booth. The 50-inch display has a very wide viewing angle, and I could see 3D cartoons no matter where I stood in front of it (again, no live action footage). The images on screen looked very similar to those on the TCL set. Personally, I don’t see a downside to a 3D world where bullets don’t look like they're two inches from your nose—those kinds of special effects are cheesy, anyway”
http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/marketwire/0605546.htm
It’s a rush for companies to show off their broadcasting in sync with the brand name 3D TV’s out there so they can get their products out for people who want to be the first adopters
1. “DIRECTV, in partnership with Panasonic, is the first and only service provider to announce it will provide dedicated 3D channels to its customers, beginning in June 2010”
2. “Last month, Panasonic launched its VIERA 3D televisions in stores and quickly sold out of initial supplies. The VIERA 3D plasma display has native 1080p, 600 Hz capability and comes with liquid crystal glass shutter lens viewing glasses”
http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2006/08/71627
3D without the glasses can be achieved by using different tricks of projecting the image at different angles but sometimes not that great and 2D images are hard to achieve
1. “But where old-fashioned 3-D movies rely on the special glasses to block images meant for the other eye, Philips' WOWvx technology places tiny lenses over each of the millions of red, green and blue sub pixels that make up an LCD or plasma screen. The lenses cause each sub pixel to project light at one of nine angles fanning out in front of the display.”
2. “One nearly ready-made source of content is modern video games, which actually generate three-dimensional objects internally, then flatten the images into 2-D representations for standard monitors. Philips has developed hardware and software that can extract the original depth information from the game engine and use it to create 3-D images on a WOWvx display.”

Im really amazed at how much their is to know about 3D Tv's, i knew a decent amount already but topics such as how the TV transmits 3D and how the glasses sync with the TV is super interesting
Its amazing that they are pushing out and introducing 3D TV instead of waiting for them to come out with a no glasses option, i believe this is becasue they need the money and the money generated from early adopters can launch more reasearch into the non-glasses version of 3D TV.

Intended audience = probably more technically inclined as this post was around 2007 as you would probably be expected to keep up on the news about 3D TV’s

This article is a answer and questions article that is super useful, one of my questions pertaining to television having any damaging affects on people I was surprised to find that people would experience headaches and such but that is only because of high viewing time or that they already have preexisting condition, I found all the information to be very informative, and am anxious to see where 3D heads
http://3-dtv.org/
having the dot org ending makes this source very dependable but there is only news of information and not very well organized. a 103 inch TV sounds crazy, but i saw in the article that their glasses are supposed to support less eye strain. So I could really research and look into how your eyes are affected by 3D and how it is all transmitted. Its also crazy how expensive everything is, but that's how the craze for something new always is
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/3DTV-autostereoscopic-CES,review-1490.html
This article is interesting to hear about the people who are jumping 3D TV all together and are aiming towards a no-glasses filled future. Everyone that i talk to about 3D always asks about the glasses and most people believe it a inconvenience. I am wondering why other companies are not jumping past the glasses 3D and instead try what these other companies are doing. I think its because they are looking to make money for research and development for TVs without glasses, and that we have to take our consuming into steps first.
