A big man at the BBC says 3D TV is dead. Harsh! BBC North Controller, Mark Harrison is his name and position and he reckons after witnessing the new tech being unveiled at this year’s CES 3D no longer has a place in the world of technology anymore.
Just when you thought TVs couldn’t get any more jaw-dropping, Sharp has unveiled a 90-inch full HD LED TV, taking the crown of the largest LED TV in the world in the process. The record-breaking Sharp LC-90LE745U is a monster in every sense, packing full HD, 3D support, and a range of Smart TV apps to boot. The 90-inch telly is available today. So, what do you get for nearly £10k worth of telly.
Almost one year on from its initial unveiling, the Sony PlayStation 3D Display is finally on sale in the UK. Built for gamers, the set’s SimulView tech lets two people play on the same monitor without the need to split the screen.
Glasses-free tech seems to be catching on. The latest victim of this tech craze is the Toshiba Satellite P585, which eliminates the need to wear dodgy 3D specs to see images come at you. If you don’t care about 3D, there’s a lot more to the Toshiba Satellite P885. It boasts HD skills, Harman Kardon speakers and more.
Still skeptical about 3D television? Then take a look at this. It’s the world’s largest high definition glasses-free TV capable of letting viewers see even the side of objects in full third dimensions. It has to be seen to be believed.
Brand new feature to the blog is the Friday Round-Up which is where I bring you the Tech news that I’ve missed out on throughout the week. However, obviously not all of it because that would just be impossible!
This week I’m bringing you MeeGo news, a definition and more of the Chrome Zone, a tablet attached to a bicycle, 3D news and an apology from Nikon.
The DVB (Digital Video Broadcast) group are looking into improving 3D for next year.
IFA, the world’s largest consumer Technology show is back for its 51st time in Berlin, Germany for five days of Tech madness.
LG produces a 3D monitor that takes no 3D active glasses.
Don’t hear much about 3D monitors however this is all about to change with LG’s DM50D monitor. It features 3D obviously, an integrated TV tuner and USB Quick View technology (no need to power up your computer, all you do is plug in a USB stick or hard drive to watch back your films instantly.)
No solid information on the size of screen but judging by the model name its likely to be 50cm wide, not too big to fit on your desk.
The LG monitor also comes equipped with Passive Cinema 3D technology which is guaranteed to bring your snaps and videos to life! The good thing is don’t even need to waste money on batteries for your 3D glasses because all you have to is buy yourself a cheap pair of polarized glasses.
No prices yet. The beauty is available next month.
What’s my view?
Let me start by saying I wouldn’t say no! It sounds super. The fact that you don’t need to go through the hassle of switching on your computer to playback your films is very good, especially if you have a slow computer. No more wasting money on 3D glasses is also a pro, so many good things about this monitor! Great size screen and it should just fit depending on the width of your individual desk. Lets hope its as a good as the information.
The word’s first glasses free 3D smartphone, LG Optimus 3D delayed until July.
Now, there’s lots of hype on this particular smartphone because its the world’s first ever 3D phone where you won’t even have to wear those annoying spectacles that most people hate.
The LG Optimus 3D will feature a 4.3inch screen which given the size is perfect to watch the latest films or post a status update. It will run on Android 2.3, and come with 8GB of storage space with room for a microSD card. The smartphone will also come equipped with a 3D camera which makes use of two 5Mp lenses that give you the chance to shoot some stunning 3D photos and videos.
The question I’m asking, is this phone going to be worth the wait? Will 3D be popular on a smartphone platform? Let me know your views by leaving me a comment.

Sony have released a brand new range of touchscreen, all-in-one PCs with active 3D thrown in. Its called the L series.
Lately desktop PCs have been up against laptops which have seen them sadly pushed to the end of the shelves however Sony’s new 24-inch all-in-one PC range is set to change that. The new series will also feature active 3D technology, a free pair of glasses thrown in and a computer that is more than bigger enough to be also used as a TV.
It will also come with the support of ‘PlayStation-3-based 3D content’ so if you do have a PS3 you will have the opportunity to connect it and enjoy the glorious entertainment by plugging it into the included HDMI port.
The L series also comes with a wide choice of Intel Core i7 quad-core processors, however it doesn’t stop there. Also on offer by Sony are nVdia graphics and an integrated Blu-ray drive so you can watch the latest HD movies playback on your 24-inch monitor.
The L series starts off in the UK at £1,199.00 so not a bargain! For US readers you can start submitting your pre-orders for the new 3D Sony L-Series desktop range at a much cheaper anticipated price of $1,420 from July 13.

New 52 inch 3DTV hits Japan and the best thing is you don’t need to wear glasses.
Later than usual is yesterday’s blog.
Dimenco, a company who were once associated with Phillips have created the word’s biggest 3DTV with no glasses. Hurrah!
The new TV will measure 52 inches and come with a 60GHz refresh rate, a 2000:1 contrast ratio, 700cd/sqm brightness and an 8ms response time.
Bad news is that I’m pretty that the UK won’t be getting hold of this this new beauty.

FIFA 12 will be available to play on your Nintendo 3DS.
Later than usual is yesterday’s blog.
Now, we don’t really associate big game titles like FIFA with Nintendo DS’s and have instead accepted titles like Mario and other fun games to play on our portable Nintendo DS’s. Good thing is its all about to change with the release of the new FIFA 12 on your Nintendo 3DS.
The Nintendo 3DS with its fast stability and gorgeous graphics is impressive as it is but the fact that you will be able to play FIFA 12 in 3D on it is utterly amazing! With more power from the new handheld device EA Sports has released the latest version of the football game, FIFA 12, on Nintendo 3DS. You can expect the device to feature touchscreen controls and 3D rendering.
Also, new to the 3DS version you will be able to create, edit and follow your very, own unique football player designed by yourself thanks to the featured “Be a Pro” option.
This looks exciting, let me know what you think.

At the moment Sky 3D appeals to 70,000 people based on Sky’s assumption that in the future 3D will become more popular.
Director of product development at Sky, Brian Lenz said:
"It's one thing to sit with something like 3D where we are going out and saying that we're happy with 70,000 subscribers in the first quarter, but that's because we believe that it will grow to a much bigger number for us.”
He believes that Sky is a “trusted” firm by the company to bring customers the latest cutting edge technology.
Also, he said:
"If it's going to be done in the living room than I like to think that Sky is trusted to do it well,"
