It looks like Samsung is going to be the first to market with 3D TVs in 2010. Samsung is running and gunning with 40-inch, 46-inch and 55-inch Full HD 3D TVs with active 3D glasses, the production of which began earlier in January 2010.
While this is an exciting move on the part of the electronics giant, it remains to be seen whether it will be good for the industry due to the lack of standardization across the 3D technology. The general consensus at CES 2010 seemed to be that Summer 2010 would be when we could hope for some solidarity and standarization among 3D content and hardware providers. Regardless of that notion, however, Samsung is marching full steam ahead now.

At CES 2010, Panasonic introduced its new lineup of Full HD 3D plasma TVs for the coming year, along with all the 2D plasma sets. The Panasonic Full HD 3D series range in size from 50″ to 65″ which is good because 3D needs a big screen.
The Full HD 3D Viera TVs feature 4 HDMI ports, a full 1080p signal for each eye and a 100,000 hour expected life span. Each Full HD 3D set will come packaged with one pair of active shutter 3D glasses, with additional pairs available for purchase separately.

At CES 2010, Panasonic unveiled a wireless speaker system specifically designed for its Full HD 3D Home Theater System. As you can see the speakers are very slim, pole-like designs. The wireless system allows you to place speakers in any location in your room without worrying about tripping over speaker wires.
The SC-ZT2 speakers should be available in June 2010. More details in the Panasonic press release below.

Panasonic will be filming US Speedskating competitions and practices in Full HD 3D this year as part of their push toward the release of the Panasonic Full HD 3D Home Theater system later in 2010.
Panasonic’s 3D TVs are top tier based on what I saw at CES 2010. I expect their content to be solid once it hits living rooms and I’m sure Speedskating will be some great content to see in Full HD 3D.
More details on the US Speedskating coverage can be found in the press release below.

Stereo Vision is on the 3D content bandwagon with the launch of a 3D TV network, dubbed SVTV, just prior to CES 2010. They say that content should be ready to broadcast by Summer 2010. Looking over the Stereo Vision site though, it doesn’t appear that there is a whole lot to offer (with no mention of SVTV) and hasn’t been updated in some time. [click to continue…]

Mitsubishi has been shipping 3D-ready TVs since 2007. The company has been so far ahead of the tech trend that some of the more recent developments in home 3D usage has surpassed the previously-released Mitsubishi 3D-ready TVs. Specifically, the development of a Blu-ray 3D standard left some of the older Mitsubishi TVs behind.
Mitsubishi has stepped in to the rescue of its faithful customers with a new adapter that will make those older 3D-ready models compatible with a 3D Blu-ray player. The Mitsubishi 3DC-1000 3D adapter will be available in late spring 2010. The initial retail price has yet to be set for the adapter; however, speaking with a Mitsubishi rep at CES 2010, I was assured that the price would not hurt too bad.

I-TEC is one of the few companies that is touting a 3D solution that doesn’t require wearing the 3D glasses. I-TEC will be showing off the new display at CES 2010. It will be interesting to see the feedback from those who see it.
