Samsung Electronics will be offering mix of free and paid 3D streaming content for all their 2010 and 2011 LED Smart 3DTV’s. This will be through the Explore 3D app on Samsung’s Smart Hub connected TV interface. Users need only sign up online to get the new content.
The Explore 3D app will provide 3D movie trailers from DreamWorks Animation and other studios, music videos, educational content and full-length TV shows from Wealth TV. Later this year, Explore 3D will also offer access to paid 3D content, including feature films and shorts, plus full-length 3D documentaries.
“Once consumers experience the wonder of immersive 3D that we deliver on Samsung 3D LED and 3D plasma TVs, they generally crave all the 3D content they can get their hands on,” stated John Revie, Samsung Home Entertainment senior VP. “We decided to expand our Explore 3D App with both free content and — coming soon — feature films in order to meet this growing demand.”
The Explore 3D application is powered by Rovi technology and includes its cloud-based metadata and RoxioNow platform.
Samsung has promised that with this addition, they will double the resolution for an immersive, FullHD image (1080p picture for each eye), a wider viewing angle and no black lines interfering with the picture. To promote the change Samsung will be reducing prices of 3D glasses so that the whole family might enjoy the 3DTV for under $100.
