All modern televisions are far more energy efficient than older models. The consumption varies depending on the size of the televisions with larger displays consuming more power than small ones. LED back lighting is less energy hungry than cold cathode lighting as well.
Consumption varies depending on the signal being processed with HD signals requiring a little more power than SD signals in most cases.
A typical power consumption for an LG or other make of television is less than 100W for 32 inch displays up to perhaps 200W for the larger screens. The drive to improve energy efficiency will no doubt see lower figures for future models.
I'm not too sure about the specs of energy consumption but I do know Active 3Ds consume way more electricity than passive 3D TVs. Also, LG's cinema 3D TVs are all Smart Energy Saving plus.
The price of 3D TVs may be slightly more expensive than regular TVs but the electricity consumption is the same if not less. Cinema 3D TVs come with an energy star rating. LG Cinema 3D TVs are also much more energy efficient than the plasma/ active LED models because the 3d glasses do not require recharging.
There aren't a lot of video games designed specifically for 3D. More 3D games will be released as 3D televisions become more popular.
a lot and still growing
www.hometheater.about.com is the best place to look for information about 3D TV without glasses. They have a lot of information there concerning this matter.
There are a lot of 3D DVDs available. Broadcast 3D is becoming more common and there are also on line sources for 3D content as well. 3D content will become more common as the market penetration increases in the next year or two.
No, with all 3D televisions you do need the glasses. It's just like in the 3D films at theater. However some glasses are a lot more comfortable so you should try looking for those!
Any HD television will give you the best quality for watching all the new movies that are in 3D.
Yes because when 3D glasses are used its brightness and resolution cut a lot for active TVs is really bad. So brightness is as important as resolution. Passive 3D TVs gives dimmer images in 3D because of polarized glasses. LG is the main brand that sells passive TVs.
More and more movies are being made in 3D now and YouTube also has 3D contents available now. Some 3D TVs have 2D to 3D conversion that allows you to watch basically anything in 3D (sports, any 2D movie, discovery channel, etc). The quality is quite good. There's also a lot of growth in devices that let you create your own 3D content. Camcorders and video binoculars are good examples. With both of these you can watch your own content on your 3D TV.
No. Only movies filmed as 3d will produce the 3d effect on a 3d television.
I think that the best deal you can get on a 3D LED TV would be at Amazon.com. You can get a Samsung UN46d7000 46inch 1080p 240hz 3D LED HDTV for just $950.00 that is a real bargain compared to a lot of places.
