It's looking like you no longer have to wait to enjoy 3D TV right out of the box -- at least not if you buy one of LG's LW5300 Cinema 3D TVs.
The manufacturer just announced plans to offer the LW5300 3D TV as part of a comprehensive bundle. So when you buy one of the two 3D TVs in that series, you'll also get an LG Blu-ray 3D player and four pairs of passive 3D glasses, all for the price of the TV itself. All you'll need to add is Blu-ray 3D discs!
Available in 47- and 55-inch sizes, the LW5300 Cinema 3D TV features passive 3D technology, which uses light, inexpensive polarized 3D glasses to create the 3D image. In fact, it's very similar to what you see in your local movie theater. No emitter and no batteries are needed. Instead, the Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) optimizes the separation of images for the left and right eye, which are then filtered through the glasses, boasting brighter images and minimal cross-talk.
Other features on these HDTVs include LED Plus with Local Dimming, TruMotion 120Hz technology, and Picture Wizard II self-calibration. Intelligent Sensor can also tweak the picture, based on your room's lighting and color conditions. Each TV has plenty of inputs, including three HDMI (two in back, one on the side), two component, and two composite, for your favorite streaming set-top, gaming console or other AV component -- including that new Blu-ray 3D player.
"As more and more people seek to bring the 3D viewing experience into their homes, LG is offering them an easy-to-buy and even easier-to-enjoy 3D home entertainment package," said Jay Vandenbree, LG's senior VP of home entertainment. "Our LG CINEMA 3D entertainment packages are very attractive for retailers and consumers alike to bring the latest 3D movies and sporting events into your living room, delivering a theater-like, comfortable viewing experience and a superior 3D picture preferred by consumers."
Both LG Cinema 3D packages are available now. The one with the 47-inch 47LW5300 3D TV has an MSRP of $1399.99, while the 55-inch 55LW5300 is priced at $1899.99. Best Buy has both listed now for $300 under LG's MSRP.
