In case you’ve already bought into the whole 3D entertainment center thing and picked up a new HDTV and Blu-ray set that supports 3D video, you might want to enjoy those components for some in-your-face 3D gaming too. For $40, Nvidia’s new 3DTV Play software will let you connect your gaming PC to your 3DTV and enjoy them with a pair of 3D glasses for awesome immersive gaming on your big-screen.
After shelling out at least $3,200 for a 3D-capable HDTV, more serious dough for a 3D-capable Blu-ray player, what else do you need? 3D glasses. How much will the new technology cost? According to a listing at Vann’s, Samsung’s active 3D glasses will cost $150 each.
Samsung’s first 3D-capable LED HDTV is now available on Amazon. Now, it’s not the much-hyped flagship LED9000 series, but the C7000 (the 55-inch UN55C7000, to be more specific) is by no means considered “low-end.” With an initial price of $3,299, it packs in serious high-def TV tech.
The 3D-capable Samsung LED HDTV series, made up of the LED7000, LED8000, and flagship LED9000 (a.k.a. “the 0.3-inch HDTV that comes with the really awesome remote”), will start shipping by March… at least in the UK, according to the announcement made during Samsung’s 2010 Forum in Vienna.
