Samsung 3D Plasma HDTV with 1,000,000:1 Contrast Ratio

[FantasyGhost]

Samsung announced the world's first Plasma HDTV with a stunning 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio (that is 1million to 1).

The 50 inch PAVV Cannes 450 Plasma HDTV is 3D ready, which means you can watch 3D games or movies with special glasses.

Samsung achieves the ultra-high contrast ratio in their new Plasma TV with Cell Light Control.

The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine + (DNIe+) takes care of handling external noise, contrast ratio, color in the image display of the Samsung PAVV Cannes 450.

The new Samsung 3D Plasma TV will ship with glasses and PC software to watch games and videos in 3D.

Samsung exhibited 3D ready Plasma TVs the first time at the CES 2008 earlier this year. Samsung made the announcement of the new 3D Plasma with the world's highest contrast ratio in Korea, but it is expected that Samsung will launch the 3D Plasma HDTV also in the United States this year.

I thought the whole 3D glasses thing died out years ago. Still, I bet it looks pretty cool.

I like it apart from the fact that you must wear glasses.

I don't think you have to wear glasses; only when the video is 3D or you want it?

I guess so, but I wish they put the effort into tech so that we don't have to wear the glasses for the 3d video effect.

[Raitei]

[Garfunkel]

pretty interesting stuff. I only really read the bit about the bottom about the human eye. I'm too tired to read the rest, but I did skim it. Good stuff.

EDIT:
Completely forgot to mention. Theres a technology that I read about around 5 years ago I think. It was actually 3D television that worked without glasses.
Now the catch - Views had to be at a certain distance within 1 inch of the correct viewing angle

^Thats some hardcore information.
