3DTV is the New Industry Rage
3D technology was the rage during the recent concluded CES 2010 in Las Vegas. It is billed as a possible savior for recession hit manufacturers looking to boost sales. Demos were abound from leading electronics giants such as Sony, Samsung and Panasonic. Sony and Samsung has already announced 3D blu-ray players like the Sony BDP-S770 that is 3D capable.
Industry analysts said the new technology looks promising with a survey showing around 3.4m 3DTVs will be sold in the US this year. Promising as it is, the lack of 3D media and content will make this new gimmick an uphill task to break into the market over the next 2 to 3 years. The 3D movie Avatar might hasten the progress and acceptance of 3D though.
Another problem consumers face is the need for 3D glasses or goggles to get 3D visuals. This might not sit well if you have a large family or group of friends coming over to watch 3D movies as these 3-D glasses are not exactly cheap and do not come free a new 3DTV. It is worth watching how this industry develops.
