July 07, 2017

One of the most exciting developments in television has been the recent integration of three-dimensional programming into homes. Viewers are able to enjoy their favorite shows, movies, music videos and sports like never before. With a few simple steps, you too can join millions and take full advantage of your 3D TV.

What is 3D TV?

Three dimensional television— also known as 3D TV, 3D HDTV or 3DTV — conveys depth perception to viewers by using 3D display. High-definition televisions with this capability allow specialized content to be seen with the aid of accessories like 3D glasses or a specialized source device. This technology allows viewers to experience a whole new dimension on a daily basis.  It should be noted that all 3D TVs are technically also 2D televisions, and the quality of 2D standard-def and high-definition (HD) TV programming is not adversely affected by the three dimensional capabilities of these devices. It is common for 3D compatibility to be recognized as a feature of televisions, along with Internet streaming, DVR, apps and more.

What do I need to Watch 3D TV?

In order to view your preferred television shows, movies, sports events and music videos in 3D, you need to first purchase, update or set up a digital video cable box with three-dimensional programming capabilites. A number of HD set-top boxes automatically receive 3D TV programming. If you already have the required digital video box, you may be able to contact your cable service provider to receive immediate access to an array of thrilling 3D channels. In some instances, there may be no charge for this additional programming.

Benefits of 3D Television Programming

There are countless benefits associated with 3D television and premium programming. No viewing experience truly lets you be a part of all the action like 3D. You can experience your favorite television shows, sports games, movies and music videos in a whole new way by moving beyond 2D TV. Enjoy stunning 3D films in high-definition from the comfort of your home. In addition, some cable TV service providers offer access to a digital library of free 3D movies and exclusive channels that air only 3D content. Impress your family and friends by hosting 3D TV viewing parties to showcase the capabilities of your entertainment operating system.  Easy access to 3D games for your favorite gaming systems is another great benefit. You may wish to consider upgrading your cable and Internet package for faster speeds and more reliable connections while gaming. Cable service providers often offer bundle deals or packages that include television with 3D programming and Internet service.

What's the next best thing in television? It's here, and it's 3D TV! There's more to television than simply watching your favorite programs, so make sure you pursue the benefits of a dynamic three-dimensional television experience. Familiarize yourself with 3D channel lineups and showtimes to continue enjoying 3D TV programming to the fullest.
