A potential game-changing television was on display last week at the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show. Unlike current 3D televisions on the market, this one displays high-definition 3D video visible without 3D glasses.
A company called Changhong was promoting it, according to Jim Nelson at Business Insider.
Nelson, attended the 2014 CES, had a lot of good things to say about the 3D television but raised some good questions about it.
"...tucked away in a small, unpublicized corner of the gigantic Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week was a large-screen 3D TV that blew my mind: It showed crisp, deep, hi-def, 3D images all on its own," he wrote.
"No glasses required."
There were some problems. The company was almost hiding the product, according to Edwards, and the picture was high-definition"...But it wasn't like watching a modern 2D hi-def screen, where you can see every hair and pore."
A television like that should, in theory, be getting a ton of attention and it wasn't.
The origin of the company and it's relevance to the television industry was also a mystery to Edwards, who had never heard of Changhong before visiting the company's booth.
The only other clue was the "Dolby" logo in the corner of the screen.
Turns out, Dolby is working with a bunch of manufacturers on glasses-free hi-def TV. Sharp and Philips are among the partners. Early reviews are positive.
