Early news from the CES in Las Vegas.
Korean Electronics giant LG have confirmed their intention to drop the active shutter design for 3D TVs in favour of a polarised model. I'm no expert but polarisation has always seemed the better option to the physicists part of me. Its more elegant and it seems LG agree.
LG's reasons. The new screen they have developed to allow the use of simple polarised lenses are cheaper than the screens used in their current active shutter sets. Also polarised glasses cost around £1 each instead of the £100 that a single Active Shutter set would cost. Its not just about cost though, LG claim the polarised glasses offer a far better user experience.
LG intend to release up to 5 polarised 3D models in the next 3 months, with this brave step they hope to firmly set themselves as the major player in 3D TV. In my opinion they may just do it.
