My Cart - With the London 2012 Olympics Games opening ceremony just two weeks away, now is a perfect time to get your hands on a great value TV to enjoy the event on.
Since the last Olympic Games in Beijing 2008, there have been huge leaps in the technology available to the consumer. For the last games, most people didn’t have HD TV sets; although only four years ago, the availability for the consumer has increased a lot. This Olympic Games will see the first usage of 3D technology and some of the major events will be broadcast live in 3D, including the opening ceremony and the 100 metre final as well as others.
In addition to the new filming techniques, there are a range of services available through new 3D TVs to allow people to watch the Olympic events around their busy lives. Internet TV services, interactive red button services and additional items such as TiVo can let people watch the events they want when they want.
Ignoring some of the recent headlines over bad press for the games – a typically British reaction from the press – there is set to be some great action over the course of the Games. In addition to the games themselves, getting everyone together to watch the event can create a great atmosphere. Why not combine showing off your new snazzy TV with a party for the games!
