The Future of Home Entertainment Revealed

Did you get to watch "Avatar," 2009's cinematic blockbuster? If you have, then you are probably among those people who were awed by the marvelous technology that James Cameron used in making this film. But beyond its awesomeness, what makes this movie so remarkable is that it has made 3D television once again a buzzword in the home entertainment industry.

Does this mean that 3D TV has become the future of home entertainment and that a vision of this future is now upon us? The reply to this question is a definite "Yes." With more and more television and electronic manufacturers unveiling their first-generation 3D TV offerings since the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, we can really now say that the future of home entertainment is making a good headway.

Not A New Concept
It is not like the idea of 3D TV is a new concept, anyhow. Any member of the engineering and design team or ETD of any television manufacturer can tell you that the idea for 3D TV has been around since the 1950s. It just did not catch on as quickly with the public as stereo and surround sound did.

But thanks to "Avatar" and similar 3D movies released in recent years, the concept is swiftly catching on. Many consumers all over the world are becoming interested in duplicating the 3D movie theater experience right in their own living rooms and home theaters. Television manufacturers are busy fueling that interest by offering their current versions of the 3D television system.

That is not to say that the 3D television concept does not have its share of naysayers. Just as watching television on 3D is slowly gaining a dedicated fan base worldwide, so are those that think that this trend is nothing more than just a profit-making fad started by television manufacturers. Still, 3D TV is part of the future of home entertainment and no one can deny that the future is happening now.
