Philips 3D TV

Everything you need to find the right Philips 3D TV for your needs. Providing price comparisons as well as 3D information to assist you in making the right 3D television purchase.

Philips is not actively participating in the current 3D TV space having discontinued their last 3D TV model in 2009. Reasoning for this is that the TV was using a different technology and Philips recognized the importance of avoiding user confusion and offering a standardize 3D technology. Philips does have an ace up their sleeve however. Philips is actively working on a 3D technology that does not require wearing glasses to watch it. This was originally targeted for release in 2011 but has been pushed back. Rumor has it that the reason is due to the slow move to 3D technology that is already on the market. If you are curious about the Philips 3D technology and how it works, see 3D TV without glasses for additional details. The latest word from Philips is that they will release a consumer 3D TV in the next few years. Until then they are marketing and licensing no glasses 3D technology to the market.

3D TV Prices
Philips 3D TV prices are very fluid and often drop rapidly therefore it is important to do a price comparison prior to making your purchase to ensure you are getting the best value. See 3D TV Prices to compare prices across multiple TV suppliers and across different brands.

Do Not Forget The 3D TV Glasses
In order to watch 3D TV you will need 3D TV glasses, when considering glasses it is important to know that the glasses are not all the same. Although, of the three different technologies, all manufactures have standardized on using the active shutter glasses, the technology to synchronize the glasses to the TV has not been standardized. Therefore there is no guarantee that glasses from one manufacture will work with another manufactures TV. Your best bet is to buy 3D glasses manufactured by the same company as your TV. And yes, you will need glasses for anyone who wants to watch 3D TV. Without them the picture will appear fuzzy.

3D TV HDMI Cable Requirements
Unfortunately only version 1.4 HDMI cables will support 3D TV. This version was released in 2009, so it is likely that your current cables are version 1.3 meaning you will also need to upgrade your HDMI cables. However you only need to upgrade the cables that will be providing 3D content such as between your 3D Blu Ray player and your TV.
