Panasonic HDTV Goes 3D

We’ve already got word from CES of an impressive 3D gaming headset, and now Panasonic is announcing a 3D Plasma Home Theater system for the US market after debuting it in Japan last year. The 3D FHD system uses active shutter glasses, like the ones NVidia uses in its new gaming setup, combined with a 103-inch plasma TV and Blu-Ray player. While passive 3D glasses simply block unintended images in each lens (as with the red and blue lenses that filter out the opposite color), active shutter lenses rapidly alternate the display between each eye in sync with the image on the screen. The result, as you can expect, is better 3D. For now, Panasonic is keeping mum on the 3D FHD’s price. [via PC Magazine]
