3D TVs are cool as they allow you to view your most exciting movies or sports in 3D mode. But not every movie, show or video comes in 3D mode. It’s definitely a plus if your 3D TV could automatically covert a 2D show or movie into 3D. Samsung has brought this good news, which they’ll include the auto 2D to 3D conversion technology into all of their LED LCD 3D TVs sold in 2010.
Samsung is able to include the auto 2D to 3D conversion technology in wider range of TVs is because of DDD has restructured their license agreement, which lowers the per unit royalty paid for each Samsung 3D TV equipped with DDD’s TriDef 3D technology. DDD also expects to receive royalty revenue from Samsung in the range of $1.1 million – $1.5 million during 2010.
The first 3D TV of Samsung is the C7000, will ship on February 26th. The two models, 46-inch UN46C7000 costs $2600 and the 55-inch UN55C7000 costs $3300, are now available for pre-order on Amazon in the links below.

Interesting tactic by Samsung’s PR to deem their new TV range as “LED TVs” despite not strictly being full LED sets. Seems to have generated the hype they needed surrounding their new products though, which undoubtedly turned into lots of sales. It’s like any other buzzword – 1080p, 24Hz, HD – companies seem to invent them to produce instant sales.
I do think LED is here to stay though, or at least in the form of OLED televisions. That’s until laser TVs come along – however the only manufacturer interested in that technology at the moment appears to be Mitsubishi.

The combined 2D/ 3D modes are still essential due to the lack of availabity of 3D content. I believe The new 3D TV technology is moving at a very fast rate now. There is now even talk of 3D TV without glasses coming onto the market in the near future. Once the content for the 3D format is increased, then the uptake of 3D TVs will be much bigger.
I’m a great fan of the technology and watching programs that look more realistic so can’t wait for further developments.
Lets not forget the enhanced gaming experience that the technology provides
