A number of the key players in TV manufacturing like Sony, Panasonic and Vizio, for instance have plans to introduce 3-D-enabled television sets and related accoutrements at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
This development marks this first major change in at-home viewing since the flat screen was first introduced several years ago. The lack of novelty has even television junkies without a techie dream to chase. Current flat screen TV’s aren’t old, or dinky enough to have problems yet so the incentive to buy is low, as are the profits.
In response to lackluster sales and paltry profits, Sony, Panasonic and other manufacturers have endeavored to come up with a new reason to get TV junkies to bust out their wallets. They all seem to have settled on 3-D.
If the popularity of “Avatar” and “Up” are any indicator of public affection for three-dimensional pictures, the TV’s can be expected to take off. News of at-home 3-D appeared to hit Europe first with the continent’s Sky TV announcing an entire channel dedicated to the novelty.
