Toshiba 55ZL2 glasses-free 3D TV out this Monday

 

Monday 12th March Toshiba will finally launch its monstrous 55-inch glasses-free 3D TV in the UK. The Toshiba 55ZL2 will make its debut exclusively at department stores John Lewis and Harrods. Both stores will be taking orders for what Toshiba is calling the world’s first large screen glasses-free TV for the UK. However, it comes at a price.

The stores in question will be John Lewis’ Oxford Street branch and, Harrods, both in London. The Toshiba 55ZL2 55-inch glasses-free 3D TV has what is called a Quad Full HD 3840 x 2160 resolution display, backlight dimming, and uses picture processing technology to display images at the highest quality, even on a screen so large.

The 55ZL2 also features built-in Wi-Fi and DLNA compatibility, os that you can stream your media collection to it, and a Freeview HD tuner. Smart TV features apps such as YouTube, BBC iPlayer and more.

Four HDMI ports and two USB connections allow plenty of room to connect a Blu-ray player and a a few of your games consoles. Like we said, the Toshiba 55ZL2 does come at a price.

That price being a whopping £6,999. We’ll be paying a visit to at least one of the stores next week, so keep an eye out for more, and some eyes-on impressions.

Gameloft reveals 3D titles for the LG Optimus 3D

Although it was the first smartphone to feature a 3D screen, the LG Optimus 3D has been a long time coming, with several delays to the launch. The Optimus 3D is now available in the shops, however, with a couple of 3D titles already available.

The LG Optimus 3D could have the most impressive smartphone screen in the world, but it would be wasted without any 3D movies or games to take advantage of it.  Thankfully, Gameloft is on hand to offer gaming relief for LG’s 4.3-inch 3D smartphone, with several new titles available. That said, don’t be expecting iPhone or regular Android levels of 3D apps and games.

For starters, Gameloft has launched NOVA Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance, Let’s Golf 2 and Asphalt 6, and all will come pre-installed on the LG Optimus 3D. There’s still a long way to go before LG can match 2D apps on Android or other platforms though, so fingers crossed that other developers are working with the Optimus 3D as well.

What games would you like to see on the Optimus 3D? Angry Birds 3D perhaps? Doodle Jump 3D? Leave a comment and tell us what 3D Android games you’d like to see.
