CEA Report: 3D TV Sales At a Crawl
TVPredictions.com

Washington, D.C. (September 8, 2010) -- 3D TVs are off to a slow start, suggests a new report from the Consumer Electronics Association.

The trade group which represents CE companies, including 3D TV makers, said only 1.1 million HDTVs would be 3D sets by year's end. (The details of the report were published by Home Media Magazine.)

The biggest obstacles facing the adoption of 3D TV: Set prices and the 3D glasses required to view the effects, the CEA says.

Despite the negative numbers, the CEA remains hopeful that 3D TV sales will begin to turn around during the holiday season.

“Interest at retail is heating up,” said a CEA official. “We expect it to continue heating up entering the holiday season. There’s definitely momentum in the Blu-ray direction.”

Consequently, the CEA still maintains that 28 million 3D sets will be in homes in the next three years. For those who want a #3D set, watching movies in the format is the top reason with sports and gaming coming next.


Sony Blu-ray Disc Player: $133
 

Panasonic 'Ultra-Fast Loading' Blu-ray Player: $127
