There’s Another 21:9 3DTV in Town [3Dtvs]

Formerly it’s only been Philips that’s had truly-widescreen 21:9 TVs, but Taiwanese company AUO has got in on the action with what they’re claiming is the area’s largest 3DTV with that aspect ratio, at 71-inches.

Of course, when only 1 other company has taken a stab at 21:9 TVs (and invented the damn things), it’s not much of a boast. Philips has done two now-a non-3D one last year , and a 58-inch 3D titanium one this year , which matches on sale inside the UK this month for £3,999-around $6,500 inside the States.)

While not many folks could have heard of the emblem AUO, they’re claiming that their LED-backlit LCD has a 240Hz frame rate, and a terribly thin bezel, you could see inside the photo. Bizarrely, they’re joining LG inside the passive polarizing 3D camp, and while some people prefer passive 3D, the resolution is halved so most prefer active shutter 3DTV. [ AUO via Akihabara News ]
