Samsung Presents “Worlds Thinnest” 3DTV

Electronics giant Samsung has just announced the launch of their 55-inch full HD LED TV in a press conference in Korea. The 3DTV is found under its 9000 series and Samsung claims it is world’s thinnest TV with width of just 7.98mm.

According to the press release by Samsung, the new 3DTV will be housed in body made of stainless steel. Prior to this, Samsung sold around 2.5 million units of LED TVs in the previous year. The statistics were far beyond what the company had made earlier. For this product, Samsung has gone all out in developing strong marketing partnerships with other firms, to gain popularity in the 3DTV market.

3DTV Health Concerns And Warnings

Samsung’s 3D TV’s have now gone on sale, and they are accompanied by a lengthy warning about associated health risks. Clearly the company is trying to cover their bases just in case anything, and we mean, anything, could go haywire.

From Samsung’s official statement:

“If you experience any of the following symptoms, immediately stop watching 3D pictures and consult a medical specialist: (1) altered vision; (2) lightheadedness; (3) dizziness; (4) involuntary movements such as eye or muscle twitching; (5) confusion; (6) nausea; (7) loss of awareness; (8) convulsions; (9) cramps; and/or (10) disorientation. Parents should monitor and ask their children about the above symptoms as children and teenagers may be more likely to experience these symptoms than adults.”

Among the most high risk groups that Samsung points out are: pregnant women, young children, teens, the elderly, people prone to seizures or stroke, people prone to dizziness or motion sickness, people with eye problems, people who are out of shape, and people who have been drinking.

So….who does that leave exactly? And what will the fallout be for the potential 3D gaming industry?
