With the buzz going around about the new 3D TV's coming out and those that are already in the market, there is something new, bold and interesting for consumers to pay a good chunk of income for, but is it all worth it? Companies such as Sharp, LG and Samsung are all trying to add new enhancements and new features to their production of 3D TV's but at what cost to the consumers?
There is a 3D warning to consumers who are either a pregnant woman, a teenager or a drunk; yes that included people who like their alcohol, that they should not necessarily be watching this new phenomenon. And this is no joke, the creator of one of the 3D TV's; Samsung, has in fact issued this warning. And here is the proof Samsung 3D TV Warning.
And these were some of their statements:Children and teenagers may be more susceptible to health issues associated with viewing in 3D and should be closely supervised when viewing these images and that pregnant women, the elderly, sufferers of serious medical conditions, those who are sleep deprived or under the influence of alcohol should avoid utilizing the unit's 3D functionality.

And one of the surprising statement warnings that they have issued is that even without those restrictions that some people can still become disoriented by viewing the 3D. Although I have read all the warnings, I still like my chances and will give 3D TV a try.
Me to man, the 3D tvs look awesome. I'm just going to wait til the prices go down. But the concern is a little outrageous, its just like video games that can cause epilepsy. One in 1,000,000 people have an issue. Not fair to say 3D tv's are not safe.
ReplyDeleteI like 3D...I watched Avatar in 3D and it was pretty coool...but still i don;t think it is something I really want on my TV all the time. I like it the way it is.
ReplyDeleteSo alcohol is out, and so is the sleep deprived, then who in America is left to watch the 3D TV? With our incidence of alcoholism and the shocking 43% of adults complain of daytime drowsiness, those warnings are talking about some serious problems and large portions of the population. Also with the high price tags on this new technology, I have to wonder if these TV's will be profitable in the end.
ReplyDeleteLol. Josette has a good point here. Most Americans fall into these warning categories. I think 3D TV is a really cool though and a huge advancement from the black and white TV days.
ReplyDeleteGoing along with what Dan mentioned, I think its just a warning for 3DTV creators to save their behind. There are warning labels on just about every single piece of technology out there. Being that the technology is really new I'm sure the warning labels will change or get more specific over the time.
ReplyDeleteAman - I read somewhere that the 3D won't be on all the time, only when you are watching a 3D source, such as a 3D movie or one of the new 3D channels that will be out. All other times it will be a very high end HDTV.
