10 best 3D TVs in the world
Slip on a pair of £100 3D glasses, nestle in front of a brand new £2,000 TV and switch on a £350 3D Blu-ray player and you're unlikely warm to the notion that 3D is merely an illusion.
It's created by your brain processing two separate images coming to it via your eyes, and while this stereoscopic approach can be done relatively cheaply, the big manufacturers have plumped for a rather expensive format that relies on rather clumsy, heavy glasses.
It's called Full HD 3D, and, to be fair, it's the best form of 3D currently available.
We've seen the demos; Full HD 3D might sound like a very expensive hobby for now, but if it's movies you're into then it's your best hope if you're at all interested in the third dimension.
Before your scowl at the prospect of your 50-inch plasma being deemed 'obsolete', bemoan the lack of 3D content, and balk at the high cost of a new breed of 3DTVs, consider this; our list may concentrate on 3D, but the TVs we've gathered here have plenty of other dimensions.
The 3D glasses are optional … and with TV prices being slashed by 25% every year, 3D TVs should be within reach of us all inside the next three years or so.
