In particular, A/V furniture and mounting solutions, 3D enhancement products and power-management components will be on display in a vastly broad spectrum of price levels and sophistication.
At least three companies, including XpanD and Monster, will be showing universal 3D glasses that are said to work with all brands of active-shutter 3D displays. With 3D TV sales lagging behind expectations so far (see p. 28), the custom-install channel will be watching closely for any announcements of new bundling agreements or new price points.
XpanD debuted its X103 universal 3D glasses at the recently concluded IFA show in Germany. The glasses are compatible with 3D LCD TVs from Sony, Samsung, LG and Philips; 3D DLP TVs from Mitsubishi; Pansonic and Samsung 3D plasma TVs; and active-shutter PC monitors and any movie theater using XpanD Cinema technology for projection. Pricing for the U.S. market is expected to be announced at the show in addition to a line of glasses accessories, including X-wipes sanitizing wipes and X-straps lanyards.
Monster will be displaying its own universal 3D glasses, Monster Vision Max 3D glasses, first announced in June. Head monster Noel Lee at the time said an expanded line of the glasses, in various colors and styles "designed by some of the most famous designers in the eyewear industry," were on the horizon. An announcement to that end is expected at CEDIA.
