Value of Virtual Technology
The recent comebacks of 3D affects with a digital twist are dominating the newest gadgets in new technology. The amount of people going to the cinema has increased and changed the platforms of the gaming industry.
Back in February 2011 the Panasonic team visited London with a week-long international exhibition of their Lumix and Viera 3D technologies. Among the exhibits was the new Panasonic TX-P50GT30B 50 Full HD 3D Plasma TV with both 2D and 3D options available, it creates a crisp finish great for watching sports and movies, you’d think it was a great deal?
The starting selling price is just over £700 without the 3D glasses that you need in order to see the 3D affects. With a premium price you would expect a top of the end product I’ve heard different.
A similar line of TV’s by Samsung like the 32″ 3D TV Plus Extras, with a starting price of £914 offers all that Panasonic does and an extra option of Smart TV which lets users surf the web and keep in touch with their social networking sites while watching full HD ready programs in 2D or 3D which is a better deal but would need more convincing.
To pay an extra £400 more than the price of a regular TV does not seem like much of a bargain especially when the content is still under development. TV programs are still not 3D ready; the only thing we’ve had was the BBC playing Wimbledon in 3D which can be accessed via iPlayer on the Samsung 32″ 3D TV but what about the rest?
Sky sports are launching their 3D option recently, but with the 3D option only becoming popular in cinemas now, the end question remains, are TV’s like Samsung 32″ 3D TV a good deal for its price? New DVD releases coming out in 3D like the last Harry Potter movie and Transformers which are proving to be great ideas for Christmas presents but the consumers in the present economic market are looking for bargains and would be reluctant to spend £20 every time they want to watch a 3D movie on a TV they already spent nearly a grand on?
Even with the little extras Samsung 32″ 3D TV seems quite an expensive gadget to use to access a free service like Facebook or Twitter which is a more reasonable deal.
For those bargain hunters and gadget fans, if they really want to own the latest products like the Samsung 32″ 3D TV I’ve come across an interactive social auction called Madbid.com. It’s different from a regular auction as users have to pay for bids however the upside is that products such as the latest Samsung 3D TV are going for bargain deals of £30.20 with 3D glasses and a 3D movie included! 3D TV’s can have had a huge effect on the watching experience Pc World has called the Samsung 3D TV ‘Breath-taking… technology at its finest’ which I don’t doubt it is, it’s the content that we still have to wait for so in the meantime if you can get your hands on it for a bargain then the content is worth waiting for.
