hi I'm David Katz Meyer from CNET and I'm standing here with the Toshiba glasses-free 3d TV this is going to be the first TV to hit the US market that actually incorporates 3d TV effects without the need to wear glasses the real key here is the head tracking technology that enables the TV to shoot the 3d image which actually requires separate right and left eye images right to each different person in the room without having to use glasses so if you stand in different portions of the room you can actually watch as the head tracking technology figures out where you are and locks in that 3d effect the 3d effect that I saw was a little bit less drastic than I've seen on some of the other glasses TVs and I've also been told that the resolution is a little bit less in 3d than on some of the other glasses 3d TVs I've seen but to me it did look pretty darn sharp on this 55 inch model now the TV behind me is not going to be the exact shipping version that hits us Shores this is actually a prototype the one that's available in Japan in Germany they're released in December is similar to this and I think the u.s. one will also be similar on the other hand this TV in 2d has 4k by 2k resolution which is a lot higher than current 1080p TVs so it can accept that really high resolution content there's not much of it right now but when it comes out it'll be able to handle that in 2d the real play here is the glasses-free 3d TV which again is a pretty cool effect it had a little bit of artifacts from what I saw but again this is a pre-production version so maybe they'll work that out in the next few months this TV hits us Shores that's a quick look at the Toshiba glasses-free 3d TV and I'm David Katz Meijer you
