Up until now, Panasonic has been the only company to display 3D HDTVs in the public. But this week at IMID in Seoul, Samsung has emerged with a new 55-inch LCD display that looks like it could rival Panasonic. The details about Samsung’s HDTV are limited right now, but we do know it comes with HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate. The TV requires a set of “shutter glasses”, which is the same technology Panasonic announced a few days ago. The shutter technique works by having the glasses block out the images to their select by, which means each eye only sees their respective images. The major problem with this technology however is that the glasses require batteries or a power cord to run and the fast moving shutters gives the impression that you are wearing shades inside.
