With all of the hype surrounding new 3D televisions these days, a very common question is if they are still in high definition. This seems to be more of a question due to the fact that advertising of the high definition feature has all but disappeared in lieu of advertising the newest feature of 3D. The good news for consumers is that yes, 3D televisions are still very much in high definition.
The newest televisions are able to produce two individual high definition pictures, thus enabling the 3D feature. The only loss in picture quality is the refresh rate. The standard refresh rate for a television is 60hz. Since the picture is doubled, the refresh rate is cut in half. At a refresh rate of 30hz, the picture would seem to stutter, and be very choppy. The lowest refresh rate that can be found in a 3D television is 120hz, therefore making the 3D feature display at 60hz. Higher refresh rates are also available.
3D televisions are a great innovation in home entertainment. Now that you know this information, you can make your purchase of a 3D television with full confidence that the picture will truly be in high definition.
