The Future of Television Report

Expect 3D TV to feature heavily, too – last year, Philips showed off its prototype 3D television, which didn’t require the viewer to wear silly glasses, and this year Nvidia, Samsung, Viewsonic and IZ3D are expected to follow in Philips’ footsteps, driving the technology that may one day allow us to watch films and sporting events (the Olympics, perhaps?) in all their three-dimensional glory.

We’ll also see more televisions that use OLED screens to deliver unbelievably high-definition images – Sony’s gorgeous 11in OLED screen was one of the stars of last year’s show, so expect to see other companies follow suit with this technology, offering larger screens for a similar price as the cost of the technology drops.

And the day when the internet is delivered straight to our televisions will move a step closer, too, with the launch of more web-enabled TVs.
