3D TV roundup (photos)

3D glasses

3D is everywhere at CES 2010, but before you get swept up in the hype, it's worth remembering a few issues. First, you'll need glasses. Second, content is scarce. And third, you'll need a new TV. So with those facts considered, we'll take a look at a few of the 3D-capable HDTVs announced at the show this year. For more info, check out our CES 2010 TVs wrap-up.

Samsung UNC7000 series

The company's least-expensive 3D-compatible TV announced at the show uses an LED backlight, like most 3D-compatible LCDs. Unlike those of most makers, Samsumg's models can convert 2D content to 3D (we can't wait to check that one out).

Samsung UNC9000 series

Samsung's flagship TV at CES 2009 is extremely thin in person, yet still provides that illusion of 3D depth within its picture frame.

Samsung PNC7000 series

Samsung endowed its 3D plasma with a thin depth as well, albeit not quite as thin as the LCD.

Sony XBR-LX900 series

Along with Panasonic, Sony was the only maker to specify the inclusion of the requisite 3D glasses with its TV. This flagship model also gets a few nice extras, although it doesn't have local dimming.

Vizio XVT Pro series

Vizio was the only maker to announce pricing on its 3D models, and at $2,500 for the 55-incher, the premium for 3D doesn't sound too high.

Toshiba ZX900 series (Cell TV)

Speaking of pricing, though the damage on the U.S. version of the Cell TV wasn't announced, its Japanese brother costs $11 grand. 3D capability--complete with 2D to 3D conversion for existing content--is just the tip of the Toshiba's features iceberg, which was impressive enough to earn it one of our three Best of CES nominations.

Another Best of CES nominee, this thin-bezel LG was the company's only 3D-compatible model announced at the show.

Panasonic TC-PVT25 series

The overall Best of CES winner, Panasonic's 3D plasma will likely deliver an impressive picture even in two dimensions.
