For the first time in 3D television Panasonic and LG Although companies like Samsung television manufacturers like industry came into this sector.

In those years, they even came to some schools and offered this experience to children for a certain fee. Agree, what they praised then Where are these TVs now?

For this we first have to look at how 3D televisions came into being.

With the release of the movie Avatar in 2009 when people are fascinated by the 3rd dimension TV manufacturers have also taken action to bring 3D into the home. They saw that there is content and there is a customer.

First LG and Panasonic They got into the 3D television movement and soon after, brands like Samsung and Sony joined the fun.

Like Bimeks at the time to technology stores When we entered, the salesmen gave us glasses and let us do a demo in the store, that is, a temporary test. Usually people were amazed and majority bought these televisions.

Alas to enjoy 3D televisions glasses are required. But these glasses can cause problems.

There are two different glasses in the picture, one of them is passive, i.e. polarized glasses. The nice thing about these glasses is that they don’t need to be charged and are silent they are cheap. In the past you could find passive glasses for 5-10 TL.

In addition, passive glasses were not only compatible with A or B brand televisions, but could be used with any television that supports passive glasses. But the disadvantage is low resolution and long use. it was a headache. Suppose you have a TV with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and passive glasses. you watched in low quality.

With the active glasses on the left, you can view your content in Full HD quality. However, these glasses with charge or battery they were working.

Eyeglass lenses are actually called LED displays. These LED screens cause the lenses to turn black and become transparent again. But the flip side of active glasses duration are And It can cause headaches with prolonged use. Back then you could buy active glasses for 150-160 TL per person, so they were around $100.

One of the reasons why 3D televisions are no longer available is the lack of content.

Movie directors made 2D movies and suddenly it wasn’t possible to use 3D images in every scene. When we looked at demo TVs in stores, we saw 3D images that felt real while traveling by train, but even when we were watching movies at home, we could barely see 3D explosion scenes.

That’s why directors use 3D effects instead of pushing characters off the screen. depth perception they started to build. Even using editing and editing techniques, a sense of depth could be created on the 2D screen.

3D TVs were much more expensive than LCD/LED TVs.

Therefore, in addition to the high prices, consumers were not very fond of the idea of ​​buying a 3D-supported television, mainly for the reasons I mentioned above. In addition, 3D movies and 3D Blu-Ray The prices of the players were also quite high.

In this case, when a user purchases 3D television, he also had to buy this equipment, this made the use of 3D televisions even more expensive.

Aside from that, the technology continued to evolve.

We have to face that 3D televisions are not very popular. Their prices were too high and they were not very convenient for users. Also, using glasses can be uncomfortable. Therefore, with high resolution and sharpness technologies, 4K, 8K And HDR features like those more preferred by the users.

So these technologies took the place of 3D televisions and the 3D movement ended quickly. Glasses are now forgotten and 3D televisions are not very popular. This was the end of an era. It’s a technology now only used in movies.
