RealD to Power Samsung’s 3D TVs

By Dena Cassella January 4, 2010

Slowly but surely details on CES 2010 3D technology products are being revealed. In a statement today, Samsung Electronics and RealD announced their happy 3D partnership, but stopped it at that—no Samsung 3D TV line-ups were mentioned. Samsung’s new 3D TV line-up will support the stereoscopic RealD Format to deliver “high-quality 3D content” and improve the TV viewing experience. Samsung and RealD also said they will be collaborating on active eyewear technology and “New Passive Display” technology to promote the adoption of quality 3D TV.

“This partnership pairs world leaders in consumer electronics and 3D technology and will assure that people can enjoy all the 3D content being released in crystal clear 3D on ‘RealD ready’ Samsung TVs,” stated Michael V. Lewis, Chairman and CEO of RealD. “Samsung’s support of the RealD Format furthers the industry toward unified standards for the distribution and display of high-quality 3D in the home.”

RealD says its format is an enhanced version of a side-by-side 3D format that uses a set of filters that multiplexes a left eye and right eye 3D image stream into a single channel. This provides viewers with high definition 3D content and supports an HD infrastructure to any 3D-enabled display. Samsung’s 3D line-up has yet to be announced–but our fingers are crossed.

Beyond the hype
I say this every year because some things never change: CES is a hype fest. That’s just what it is. All the shiny new gear — and especially the TVs — are exciting at the moment, there in Las Vegas, the most hype city there is. And I think we love that about CES. That show is not the right time for me to try to be pragmatic. I can barely keep up with all the model numbers and associated specs as I shoot video live from the show floor.

You Asked: Samsung QD-OLED conundrum, ATSC 3.0, and audio outputs

You Asked Feature Ep 20

We're back and sinally recovered from CES in Las Vegas. And this week, we’ve got a slew of great questions. Like the emotional journey of choosing between the Samsung S95C or S90C. Plus Zen and the art of eARC. And why is my ATSC 3.0 tuner slow? And why can’t TVs have all the ports we need?

3D is readying for another comeback — and this time it’s personal

The Apple Vision Pro reveals the wearer's eyes on a front-facing display.

It's not a stretch to say that 3D has reinvented itself more times than Taylor Swift. Unlike Swift, whose musical migrations only seem to add to her famously loyal fan base, 3D has suffered from an inability to make itself something that people actually want in their lives.

And though we’ve literally seen this movie before, 3D appears to be trying for relevance once again. Only this time, things might be different. Instead of trying to emulate a movie theater experience, 3D is getting personal, thanks to a little help from Apple and new glasses-free technology. This time, it might stick.
