Philips has expanded its offers 3D glasses with passive systems and new tricks

Part of the new launches presented yesterday by Philips revolve around 3D. The Netherlands has decided to bet heavily on this technology or at least match the stake of brands such as LG which are circulated 3D simpler systems which do not have to let the payroll to buy four pairs of glasses. With this in mind, the 2011 range of televisions compatible with Philips 3D is separated into two large families.

The first is called 3D Max and includes a stereo system equipment with active glasses, higher quality but more expensive. 3D Max will be integrated into the television series Smart LED Ambilight 8000, 9000 and 21:9 in the spectacular Platinum Cinema. All products are built to connect them issuer Active 3D glasses without limits and have been improved motion processing system.

Now True Natural Motion technology is capable of processing up to two billion pixels per second. Putting the glasses alternately active and passive, yes that can see a better definition of the image with 3DMax system. Howsoever 3D effect also depends greatly on the depth of field, the company has provided computers with 3D Max the ability to manually adjust the depth of field to suit our whim.

The second range, which is new this year, called Easy 3D and uses passive polarized glasses, much lighter, comfortable and cheaper than 3DMax system. The purist will find the image quality slightly lower, but is an excellent alternative paar limited budgets or large families. Easy 3D will be available in the 7000 Ambilight LED Smart Series and the new Cinema 21:9 Gold, a simpler version of Platinum 21:9.

Philips has also joined the bandwagon of systems for converting 2D to 3D at your own software and whose effect is comparable to those we have seen in other companies. It is worth having it, especially with the lack of 3D content. The second hat trick in the Dutch house itself is really ingenious and stars on video games.

Philips 3D systems has rescheduled their TV to be able to make two full-screen images simultaneously but in a different angle. This bizarre trick is for two participants in a multiplayer game to see their part of the game, full screen, and yet, instead of having to play split screen. Although the system is compatible with Easy 3D and 3D Max, the latter gives the better the effect it may give different signals to each pair of glasses.

In the 3D version, the image you see depends more on the position of each player. Obviously, the image you see every player in this system is not 3D, but it is still a great idea for group play to the console. In Barcelona we were able to test the system and, although still a little unstable, works quite well.

For now, the double image seems reserved for video games, but who says that in a few years we can not be many people watching different programs in full screen on the same TV. The only problem is the sound, which will be through headphones.
