The Transition from TV

TV is a phenomenon that has become very popular in American society. It is watched by people of all ages. It distributes info and it presents entertainment. Through the years TV advanced. At one time TV was colorless and soundless. TV gained sound after many years. After that TV gained full color. That is when TV started to become really popular. The next step in TV advancement was the inventing of the HDTV. You would view that as the peak of TV. Even after that TV advanced further. This is where the HDTV came in which is the greatest invention of all time.

3D television was viewed as amazing technology during the 2010 consumer electronics show. It came out around the same time as James Cameron’s Avatar. It caught little attention at its revealing. This was mostly due to the TV’s need of 3D glasses. Faced with small setbacks inventors worked to improve the 3D TV. One year later, at CES 2011, the 3D TV was back again. They came back bigger and without the need of 3D glasses. But where is 3D now? It's certainly not showing up very often. 3D TV sales are down. Many factors impeded the sale of 3D TVs. High prices, a lack of 3D content, and uncomfortable viewing experiences are some of those factors. Manufacturers and content providers are working to address these issues.

Even now 3D TV manufacturers are doing whatever they can to make the 3-D viewing experience as pleasing and trouble free as possible. This includes doing away with uncomfortable, unattractive 3D glasses, which have also been called road blocks to consumer adoption. LG has announced it's making 3D glasses that are lighter and more hip for their consumer. But even good looking 3D glasses can't stop the headaches and fatigue suffered by some people who view 3D content. It also can’t stop the high prices of 3D TVs. So, yes 3D TVs are expensive. And they can cause headaches. And they aren't supported by a lot of quality entertainment. All of which urges me to ask the question. Who would buy these things at all?

The existing sales right now can be attributed to consumer desire for high priced TVs. Consumers don't really want 3D specifically, but if they want that highest costing top-of-the-line unit, they'll receive 3D viewing whether they like it or not. Sometimes dumb found consumers are even unaware that they're getting a 3D set at the time of purchase.

Recent studies indicate consumers are slowly warming up to 3D. More people are buying them. It shows how people can adjust to new things. As prices go down more people want to buy 3d TVs. 3D glasses are improving or are getting replaced by glasses. 3D TV improvements will only get better. 3D TVs are becoming the norm among the people of this century. At a time coming soon all TVs will have to be made 3d. That show us how technology can change . Isn’t it funny how a crazy idea like that can happen.
