3D TV Available for Purchase in the US by Panasonic Through Best Buy

Panasonic 3D TVs are coming to United States this week. The new Panasonic 3D televisions will be available at Best Buy as well as other top electronic retailers. Further announcements are expected very soon.

The maker of Viera flat-panel TVs said it expects a 50-inch model to retail for $2,500, and aims to sell 500,000 3D TVs in the United States in the first year of their launch, half its annual global sales target.

Under the joint promotion, Best Buy will set up special sections at its retail outlets, where prospective customers can try out Panasonic’s 3D TVs. This will be the first opportunity most consumers will get to see the new 3D televisions by Panasonic live, for the very first time.

Panasonic, the world’s No.4 flat TV maker behind Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, LG Electronics Inc and Sony Corp, holds high hopes for 3D TVs as it aims to turn its TV business profitable in the year starting April.

The sci-fi blockbuster “Avatar” and other recent titles have sparked massive interest in 3D movies, raising TV makers’ hopes for a strong debut of 3D models.

Shares in Panasonic closed up 2.8 percent at 1,307 yen on Monday, outperforming the Tokyo stock market’s electrical machinery index, which gained 2.1 percent. Keep your eye on this stock to see how the launch of 3D TV effects stock price.
