Philips, the Dutch manufacturer, has recently launched its ‘Passive’ technology based 3D TVs alongside their ‘Active Shutter’ types. While LG was one of the first manufacturers to launch ‘Passive’ 3D format, other manufacturers are soon to join the bandwagon.
The passive 3D TVs utilise an affordable patterned retarder process (FPR). Besides lowering the production costs, the FPR technology also minimises the impact of ‘flicker’ and ‘crosstalk’ seen in active shutter implementations. Moreover, the likes of LG and Philips have also reopened the debate over health issues related to active shutter glasses.
Models and features of Philips 3D TV
The new format 3D TVs from Philips have been dubbed as ‘Easy 3D’. They feature two different models that are specially planned for 2011 launch. The Cinema 21:9 Gold series features a well-known CinemaScope wide aspect ratio.
Besides 3D, the 50PFL7956 from Philips also gets 2D to 3D conversion. The 50PFL7956 from Philips gets 100Hz Clear LCD motion, Ambilight Spectra 2 lighting, edge based LED implementation along with the company’s innovative ‘Smart TV’ internet enabled portal.
Additionally, it also boasts built-in Wi-Fi, Pixel Precise HD video processing engine and USB recording feature. The cost and release date of Philips’s new easy 3D TV is yet to be confirmed.
