Mitsubishi is in New York City this week showing off their latest 3D technology to the press and TheaterByte was honored to be invited. In addition to announcing the latest in their line of LaserVue DLP televisions, a 72″ whopper that displays the most nearly perfect 3D this side of an actual theatre, the company announced their 3D Starter Pack, in a similar move to what Samsung has been doing for the past few months with their 3D packages.
The company’s Model 3DC-1000 starter pack contains all the necessities for watching 3D at home including two pairs of active shutter 3D eyewear, a 3D emitter, 3D Adapter with remote, which is needed for use in converting the 3D signal on Mitsubishi’s 3D televisions, which have been shipping long before the latest 3D Blu-ray standard had been settled upon, an HDMI™ cable, and also features a Disney 3D showcase Blu-ray disc featuring 3D trailers of A Christmas Carol , Alice In Wonderland and Toy Story 3 along with an educational short on 3D presented by Disney’s infamous Timon and Pumba. The 3D Starter Pack will be available in July at a SRP of $399.
Additionally, Mitsubishi’s 3D-A1 3D Adapter can be purchased separately for $99.
