The Illustrated 3D HDTV (and 3D Monitor) List

This page lists High-Definition Televisions (HDTVs) and desktop monitors that are capable of displaying very high quality stereoscopic 3D images and video - various called 3DTV, 3D HDTV, or 3D-Ready TV. This list is a supplement to The Illustrated 3D Movie List.

The first "3D Ready" HDTVs was released by Samsung in April 2007. In 2008, Samsung released the world's first 3D Plasma HDTV. In 2009, Viewsonic released the world's first 120Hz 3D LCD monitor. 2010 will see a flood of 3D HDTVs released by most major consumer electronic manufacturers. Listed here is what is believed to be the full range of consumer "3D Ready" HDTVs and 3D desktop monitors available from a wide range of manufacturers.

The 3D format that the DLP 3D HDTVs accept, and a range of other common questions are discussed in the FAQ below.

Please note that I don't sell these 3D displays. The buy links will take you to various commercial providers, including Amazon. Additionally, 3DMovieList is unable to guarantee the 3D compatibility of all products listed here - especially those that haven't been tested. Please do your homework. Manufacturers wishing to have their products verified for 3D compatibiity should contact 3DMovieList.

3D Blu-ray discs (see list) and 3D Blu-ray players (see below) are now hitting shelves. Stay Tuned!

FAQs

What is the native 3D format of the Samsung and Mitsubishi "3D Ready" DLP HDTVs? The 3D-DLP displays accept 3D information in a special checkerboard pattern format at the native resolution of the display. More information is available in these two white papers from Texas Instruments: DLP® 3-D HDTV Technology, and Introducing DLP® 3-D TV.

What sort of 3D content can I view on these 3D displays?
(i) Stereoscopic Games - over 1000 consumer PC games can be played in stereoscopic 3D using drivers from either NVIDIA, DDD or iZ3D.
(ii) Stereoscopic 3D DVDs - a large selection of field-sequential 3D DVDs is listed here: Illustrated 3D Movie List and 3D DVD list. See below for how to view them in 3D on these 3D HDTVs.
(iii) Stereoscopic 3D photographs shot with a stereoscopic 3D camera. See the SDM 3D Camera List for more information.
NB: There has been some talk of conversion of regular 2D content to 3D in real-time, however in my experience this rarely produces images as visually pleasing as real stereoscopic 3D content.

Can I watch field-sequential 3D DVDs or Sensio 3D DVDs on these 3D Displays? Yes, but not using a regular DVD player. You'll need a device to convert from the field-sequential 3D format (as used on many 3D DVDs) to the display's native 3D format. At the present time the easiest way to do this is using a PC and 3D compatible software (e.g. Stereoscopic Player, DepthQ player, or DDD Tridef Media Player).

What is the "3D Sync" connector on some of these 3D-HDTVs? The "3D Sync" connector is an industry standard 3-pin mini-DIN connector which provides a TTL toggle signal (high = one eye, low = other eye), power and ground. The connector and signals are summarised here: www.stereoscopic.org/standard/connect.html

How do I enable 3D mode on the Samsung "3D-Ready" DLP and "3D-Ready" Plasma HDTVs?
(i) Plug a device which creates checkerboard pattern (at the native resolution of the display) into the "HDMI 3" input on the 3D-HDTV (this may be a different numbered socket on some displays - check the manual). For the moment, this device will likely be a PC with a DVI video card, a DVI to HDMI cable, and appropriate 3D software.
(ii) Plug a pair of LCS 3D glasses which support the VESA 3-pin mini-DIN connector into the "3D-Sync" connector on the 3D-HDTV. One example of such a pair of glasses is this one: Wireless 3D Gaming Glasses
(iii) switch the display to "HDMI 3" (by pressing the source button) (this may be a different numbered socket on some displays - check the manual), and then press the "3D" button on the remote.

Why aren't there many autostereoscopic displays listed here?
Although there are a selection of autostereoscopic displays commercially available, the current price of most of these displays makes them only an industrial product and not a consumer product.

If you have questions about 3D displays, discuss them here: http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/3dtv/
