Samsung unveils 'world's first’ 3D LED TV

NEW YORK: With the star power of hip-hop group The Black Eyed Peas and "Avatar" director James Cameron, South Korea's Samsung Electronics giant unveiled the world's first 3D TV technology aimed at revolutionising the home viewing experience.

At a glitzy ceremony in New York's Time Warner Centre, the leading consumer electronics maker announced the launch of a broad lineup of new sets, beginning with 46-inch and 55-inch C7000 models this month, showcasing the LED-lit TVs' 3D picture quality with incredible depth and perfect clarity.

Viewers are to wear electronic glasses that open and close rapidly in time, with images designed for the right and left eye, creating a three-dimensional effect.

Samsung also announced the expansion of its strategic alliance 

with DreamWorks Animation, the US maker of "Shrek," "KungFu Panda" and other hit movies to speed up the worldwide deployment of in-home 3D to mainstream consumers.


This will include a first-time feature-length, 3D Blu-ray version of DreamWorks Animation's 2009 release, Monsters vs. Aliens.


Growth of 3D has been slow because of a lack of programming, the need to wear special glasses and the higher prices of 3D sets, but the recent release of science fiction blockbuster "Avatar," a 3D film by "Titanic" director Cameron, has renewed interest in the medium.
