3D Roundup

Against this, others will be judged and found wanting…   That’s how 3D-Ready DLP HDTVs stack up at 3DRoundup. The Samsung HL-T6187S Rear Projection DLP HDTV has become our reference standard for high definition stereo 3D display quality. The underlying Texas Instruments SmoothPicture DLP Technology accomplishes what consumer-level single-screen CRT, LCD and Plasma solutions have all failed to do so far – deliver a bright, clean, high-resolution, well color-balanced, 3D image with a wide viewing angle and without a hint of ghosting or flicker.

With that caveat, the Zalman’s integrated XPOL micro-polarizer filter, combined with the included circular-polarized passive glasses deliver a nearly ghost-free, bright, well color-balanced 3D image.
