YouTube has worked with LG, Samsung, and Vizio to ensure that its apps on those manufacturers' HDTVs work, but no one has really promoted it. The channel allows users to upload and even edit footage in 3D, then display it in either anaglyph (red and cyan) or a format that conforms to 3D standards that televisions can understand. For three years, YouTube has cultivated a 3D channel for depth-perception enthusiasts.

Perhaps the best free 3D delivery vehicle is in hiding on many of these smart sets-YouTube. Most TVs do a pretty good job of discerning foreground from background, but the effect is still a bit uncanny-3D at its best uses depth to add a sense of visual context (think of the difference between the inside of a cramped elevator and the inside of Grand Central Terminal), and the conversion technology seems to make all spaces feel equally deep. It's worth mentioning, briefly anyway, that the easiest way to experience 3D on any of these sets is by activating the now common 2D-to-3D conversion feature. (There is also at least one bait-and-switch-a listing for The Mentalist was not the CBS cop/psychic show but a short clip of a magician performing an act of comically inept levitation.) The shame of the 3D World app is that the footage actually sells the set short-it's not only terrible content, but the stereoscopic effect is awful, routinely giving the viewer double vision.

The randomness of the 3D offerings seems to defy categorization, yet LG has attempted to construct channels: Japanese pro wrestling is the top selection in Sports, while a 2-minute tour of New York City shot entirely in Times Square is filed under Travel.

The app and its odd assortment of 3D clips are free but require an account registration with LG. The home screen of the LG Infinia 47-inch set I recently purchased proudly promises instant access to 3D videos with its 3D World app.

Internet connectivity opens up some options for viewing 3D content directly from the TV itself with no extra equipment. Such TVs are available from LG, Samsung, Vizio, Sony, and Panasonic. If you've purchased a 3D television, it is likely also an Internet-connected, app-enabled "smart TV," a bit of technological overlap that is convenient for the 3D dabbler. They do have better off-angle 3D viewing and show fewer jagged-edge artifacts. But you sort of get what you pay for.Īctive and passive 3D TVs cost about the same, but battery-powered active shutter glasses are heavy and expensive. And it's not even necessary to buy into the Blu-ray ecosystem at all-there are cheaper, easier ways to find 3D video.

If you have a PlayStation 3, a firmware update in 2010 already upgraded your console to play 3D Blu-rays. The good news is that the price of 3D components has come way down the better news is that you might not need anything new at all. What can we watch with these things? Is there a way to get a little stereoscopic entertainment without shelling out a fortune for discs and extra components? Equipmentīefore we can answer the question of what to watch, it's worth asking: Do I have the right equipment to watch 3D? For sure, you've got the TV, but if it were up to the electronics industry, the purchase of a 3D TV would trigger a secondary buying binge of a 3D-capable Blu-ray player, a new home theater system, and maybe even a 3D video camera. But leave a bunch of glasses splayed out on your living room coffee table and family members are bound to get curious. I expect most 3D sets will spend the majority of their time displaying flat video-most 3D sets are also no-compromise 2D sets. Now, just because your new set has 3D capability, that hardly means you have to use it.

What was once a premium option is becoming the norm. But a funny thing has happened in the past two years: A growing number of manufacturers have started to integrate 3D functionality into their sets as a matter of course. In 2010, the first wave of 3D TVs hit the market with much fanfare, but customers largely yawned-the sets sold at a premium, stereoscopic content was limited, and the glasses required to view 3D were complicated, uncomfortable, and expensive. Stuart Tyson You may, in the next few years, purchase a 3D TV-and not even realize it.
