Panasonic are legends when it comes to consumer electronics and they do not disappoint with their range of 3D TVs.
Panasonic’s flagship TVs are the VT25 series which were launched at the CES 2010. The VT25 will feature a premium range of plasma TVs which unlike their counterpart LCD screens will be able to display 3D content at a much faster rate resulting in spectacular 3D images. As expected from Panasonic the 3Dtvs come packed with technology and gadgets including a Neo Plasma display, anti glare technology and 1080p 24fps when watching 2D content.

Similar to other brands Panasonic have chosen to use active 3D technology for their 3D TVs thus users will need to wear active shutter glasses to view 3D content. There will however be a 3D bundle package with the TV which will include a Blu-ray player (DMP-BDT350) and a pair of active 3D glasses.
The VT25 series will come in a range of screen sizes including – 50 inches (P50VT25), 54 inches (P54VT25), 58 inches (P58VT25) and a whopping 65 inches (P65VT25). Overall Panasonic have certainly delivered with their new range of 3D Tvs and we cannot wait for their next instalment.

Watch out for those balls!

If you haven’t managed to grab a ticket to Wimbledon fear not as the BBC are looking to broadcast this legendary sports event in 3D for the first time.
Both the men and women’s finals on the weekend of 2-3 July 2011 will be shown in 3D marking the 125th anniversary of Wimbledon. If you are salivating over the idea of Andy Murrray volleying a ball into your lounge then this is one for you. HOWEVER to enjoy the 3D conversion you’ll need a 3D TV, glasses as well as subscription to the BBC HD channel. If all this is a little costly then you could watch 3D tennis at your local cinema.
Critics to 3D have condoned the fact that only a tiny fraction of TV owners in the UK (some 300,000) own a 3D ready TV and thus it’s a waste of tax-payers money. At Totally-3D however we believe this is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the fact 3D is making in-roads into live sport.
If you are going to Wimbledon for real you may want to dress up for the occassion. If you are looking for a dinner suit and tuxedo then check out the Dinner-suit site.
Currys cashes in on 3D

One of the main reasons 3D TV has taken so long to build momentum is due to the barrier caused by price … step up Currys.
Currys are confident 3D will be the next big medium (believing 20% of all TVs sold over the next 12 months will be 3D compatible) and thus are giving away a full 3D TV package (including glasses and Blu-ray player) for less than £1,000!
The pack includes a superb 50” Samsung 3D TV (50C680) with a Samsung blu-ray player.
Analysts at research group iSuppli estimate that the 3D TV market is expected to grow to 12.9 million next year and 60.5 million by 2014 and with Currys cutting the cost of 3D equipment this is only going to help make it more popular.
