TO: Proximity video team FROM: Jesse Smith SUBJECT: New generation TV’s are loaded with 3D and other features DATE: January 17, 2010 We were asked to analyze a blog post or news item to help us prepare Proximity’s fall survey. Below is my summary of a Mercury News article on how new generation TV’s will have 3 dimensional features. I suggest we include questions on the fall survey in order to see whether TU students will be planning to buy these new TV’s. The introduction of 3D to the household TV will give a boost to an already thriving market. As soon as this year 2010 TV’s will have the ability to view their favorite programs in three dimensions. Different manufactures will be providing different features to their TV’s including; applications for shopping or travel, video calls, direct video streaming from the internet and posting on Twitter. With the recent decline in flat screen television prices manufacturers are trying to make up what was lost. The introduction of new gadgets to the last flat screen TV’s consumers will warrant the price incline says Scott Ramirez, the Vice President of Toshiba America. It was not too long ago that flat screen TV’s were introduced and flew off the shelves. 3D televisions will be just as important because of the following. · 3D televisions will continue to sell as well if not better than the previous models and continue to be a large economic catalyst · There will be a new market for programs and services for new 3D TV’s With the main concern for TU students being price, we will need to ask other questions involving the new 3D TV’s. · Would you trash your relatively new TV for a new model because of the new capabilities? · Is it possible a TV can replace your computer? · What else do you think can be done with the up coming 3D TV platform?
