3D TV

Expected to debut sometime in 2010, LG’s 23-inch HDTV will feature a 1920 X 1080 pixel resolution 3D display which purportedly offers image quality that’s almost twice as crisp as existing 3D monitors, thanks to LG’s proprietary “high performance 3D exclusive controller” and “copper bus line.”

The South Korean electronics manufacturer estimates that the 3D TV market will exceed 30 million units by 2012.  The Korea Communications Commission has set the 3D world abuzz with plans to start a 3D broadcast trial service in 2010 using its terrestrial networks.  Licensing begins in January and first broadcasts are expected sometime later that year.  Engadget is also reporting Korea’s PPV providers want a piece of the pie too, with CJ HelloVision set to offer 3D content through its video-on-demand offerings in late 2009.  CJ HelloVision will initially target about 300 households with plans to extend the service to 1,000 homes by 2012.

Electronics manufacturers are betting big that 3D TV will catch on with the public.  Sony has announced big plans and up to 25 of the 2010 FIFA World Cup matches in South Africa will be produced in 3D TV.
