There Are Quite A Few DVD Cabinet Options On The Market

If you're looking for a new DVD cabinet, your going to quickly find out that there are quite a few options to choose from. Depending on how big your collection is currently, as well as where you are intending to install your new DVD cabinet, you need to make a couple decisions before you set out and start looking at the different models.

Where Are You Going To Install Your New DVD Cabinet?

You are going to need to think about the size of your room, or the area where you'll be installing the new DVD cabinet. For larger rooms, a full entertainment center that can hold your DVD collection, as well as the components, the television, and speakers will be suggested. This will allow you the most growth in your collection, but is going to take up the most space. Large entertainment center DVD centers are also more expensive than other types.

If you have a smaller area, such as an apartment living room, or even a bedroom, you will want to go with a corner style DVD case. These cabinets take up minimal floor space, while still providing adequate storage space for your television, DVD player, and a nice sized collection of DVDs. You can usually acquire a corner DVD center for around $100-$200 depending on how elaborate of a design you require.

For extremely small areas, such as a studio, or areas where floor space is at a minimum, a wall hung DVD entertainment center is a great idea. You will want to make sure that you install it properly if you choose a wall hung cabinet, to avoid coming home and finding your collection laying on the floor, however.

The State of the Current 3D TV Market - Do I Really Need 3D TV Glasses?

Three Dimensional TV is now here, Big Time. With the recent addition of Sky 3D in the Europe in October 2010 and Discovery Communications, Imax and Sony planning to launch 3D broadcast in the States early 2011; sales of 3D TVs and 3D TV Glasses are climbing rapidly. Sony is poised to release PS3 system software update v3.50, which will add support for 3D Blu-ray disc playback on its PlayStation 3 games console. 3D games are already available and new titles cannot hit the shelves quick enough. Over six different brands produce an array of 3D Blu-Ray players and 3D TVs with prices coming down all the time.

When it comes to 3D TV, seeing is most definitely believing, however, what do you need to enjoy 3D viewing in your home?

A 3D TV is a given requirement, as is also a pair of quality, robust 3D TV Glasses for each member of the family. If you are based in Europe and want to watch 3D television, you will currently need a subscription to Sky. If you already have a Sky HD box it will also be enabled for 3D. You may also want a 3D Blu-Ray player, so you can watch those heart pounding blockbuster movies in the comfort of your own home. Maybe you already have access to a PlayStation 3 gaming console; this will very soon allow you to play 3D Blu-Ray discs on that and of cause not forgetting the amazing 3D games as well. Note, all 3D Televisions are also excellent for viewing standard 2D and HD..

Hi quality, three-dimensional TV Glasses are a necessity, so that when you view the images on your screen the illusion of three dimensions is created for you, without the glasses the screen will show two images of the same picture slightly apart from one another therefore unpleasant to watch. The glasses are known as "Active Shutter Glasses"; they contain a small lightweight battery which allows Wi-Fi communication between your 3D TV and your 3D TV Glasses. Some brands supply one or maybe two pairs of adult sized glasses when you purchase your 3D TV. Active Shutter Glasses are quite expensive so you are advised to look after them carefully and put them back in their protective case when not in use. Having said this at some moment in time you may need a higher quality new pair, you may need a replacement pair or to purchase additional pairs of 3D TV Glasses for your family members or friends.

You can save time and money by purchasing Glasses for 3D TV on-line. A television dealer will tend to sell them at list price to cover their overhead costs, as opposed to an on-line merchant who can always pass on the savings to you, the consumer. Like the 3D TV brands, currently there are similar numbers of these manufacturers making 3D TV Glasses, however more are appearing on the market all the time. It is important to note that if you need replacements or additional pairs, you need to choose them from the same brand of your 3D TV. At this time, there is no universal standard for communication between 3D TV and 3D TV glasses, each manufacturer does it their individual way.
