It won’t be as high as the plasma and lcd tv’s when they first came out. They will be probably about $ 800 to $ 1200 more, depending on the size. That is a guess though, no announcements have been made.

Cost, Content, and Convenience Important Factors for Consumers Considering 3D TV, According to NPD
Port Washington, NY (Vocus) February 26, 2010
While consumers express some interest in 3D TV they may not be running out to purchase a new TV set just yet, according to leading market research company The NPD Group. NPD’s Snapshot Report: 3D Television found that about a third of consumers were at least “somewhat interested” in having 3D capability on their TV, but cost, content availability, and convenience of watching in 3D ranked high among concerns about adopting the technology.
The cost of a 3D TV and the cost of getting 3D content on their TV were concerns for more than 60 percent of consumers. Having to possibly pay more for 3D content from their television provider was perceived as a potential downside of 3D TV by 64 percent of consumers, and 61 percent were concerned about 3D adding significant cost to the price of a TV. In addition, the limited amount of content available was sited as a concern by 39 percent of consumers.
Cost and convenience also came into play in terms of the glasses that major manufacturers will require for viewing 3D content. The inconvenience of wearing 3D glasses was sited as an inhibitor for 53 percent of consumers. 3D glasses would also add on to the cost of viewing 3D content.
“Manufacturers are counting on 3D to accelerate the replacement cycle the way HD did,” said Ross Rubin, executive director of industry analysis at NPD. “Early adopters will look past significant price premiums and limited optimized content in the name of bringing home even more of the cinematic experience as they find 3D capabilities included among other premium features.”
DisplaySearch, an NPD Group company, expects 1.2 million 3D-capable TVs to ship in 2010, with that number growing to 15.6 million in 2013, according to their Quarterly TV Design and Features Report.
Methodology
More than 2,000 adults from NPD’s online panel took part in the survey which was conducted in late 2009.

How much will the new 3D Sony Bravia Lx 900/903 TV’s Cost?
Question by a-dubbz898: How much will the new 3D Sony Bravia Lx 900/903 TV’s Cost?
I cant find how much the new Sony Bravia 3D tv’s will cost!
I think i have the right model code, but i could be wrong.

Answer by jf
You can’t find the price because they haven’t been officially rolled out. They’ve only been announced. Most nerd sites are predicting they will the most expensive options from each of the respective manufacturers. So you’re looking at likely nothing less than $ 2,000, and maybe approaching $ 3,000.
And that’s just the cost for the TVs. Its unclear whether Sony will package the 3D glasses with the TV or make them an accessory you have to buy. Some people feel they will be an accessory to try and keep the cost of the TVs down. Others feel you’re likely to only get 1 pair included, but will have to buy additional pairs. Expected price on those is rumored to be around $ 200, but that’s just a guess as far as I could tell.
The model/series number you have listed, was what they did announce in the press release. So that is correct. But you’ll likely be stuck until at least March to get your hands on a price or actual model. And that’s a maybe. It could well be not until the summer (June/July) before they roll those out. They didn’t officially state a street date in their press release.

Pro’s and Con’s of Plasma TV’s Reviewed
Plasma televisions have come a long way since they first appeared about a decade ago and they have become the newest must-have home appliance there is on the market. They’re flat, hip and offer stunning images unlike anything we’ve seen on older television models before. Plasma televisions do seem to have it all, but are they the answer to all our home entertainment prayers or just a trend? Unfortunately, plasma televisions have a few disadvantages.
The cost
This is the number one consideration for many videophiles and plasma televisions are not cheap at all. When they first came out in the 90s, the price tag for plasma television sets showed a whopping $10000. That forms a part of a regular home mortgage and enough to have consumers running in the opposite direction.
These days, though, the price has calmed down thanks to better production practices and the magic of demand. In fact, a good-sized brand-name plasma TV costs at least $2500. That’s still the price of about three regular TVs with a few video CDs thrown in. Compared to its nearest rival, the LCD TV, plasma televisions, one of its disadvantages, still cost more.
But with the price comes quality. Nowhere else can you find the kind of high-definition viewing pleasure that plasma televisions can offer. If their price is a disadvantage, they more than make up for it with their quality. Besides, for a genuine videophile, plasma televisions have a short return on investment and they will more than make up for their price in a few years. If you think of that, that’s not really a disadvantage of having a plasma television now, is it?
Life span
Plasma televisions had a notorious reputation for conking out after a given set of viewing hours.
In 2004, plasma televisions offered a disadvantageous 20,000 hours of viewing pleasure. Compare that to an LCD TV’s 50,000 hours.
These days, however, plasma televisions have improved and been given longer life spans. Depending on the brand, plasma TVs have a half-life of 60,000 hours. If you’re a normal person with a normal family having normal TV viewing hours, that should not be considered a disadvantage. Imagine this: if you spend at least 5 hours in front of your plasma TV, that will translate to about 33 years of use.
The viewing hours do not indicate an expiry date for your plasma television. The number of hours refers to the plasma TV’s half-life, or the time when your TV screen burns at half of its original brightness.
Burn in issues
This is another disadvantage of plasma televisions. Plasma TVs are called that way thanks to the thousands of minute fluorescent lights in the screen. These lights are filled with gas which burn each time the TV is used. This is a good thing, because compared to the LCD and the older CRT TVs, a plasma TV need only light up when they’re needed. LCD panels are like one big light bulb that is always turned on.
With regular TV use, that’s really not a problem. The disadvantage appears when you display a static image on screen. What’s a static image? If you’re an HBO fan and you have your plasma television turned on to HBO for hours on end, pretty soon you’ll notice a faint HBO logo on your screen even when you’re turned on to ESPN or another channel.
That is also an issue if you’re a heavy video game user. If you hook up your video game console to your plasma TV and play all day for days upon days, the hours of playing will burn in the image of, say, the life meter on your plasma screen. That will be a little embarrassing especially if you’re having friends over and they’ll see a shadowy image of your otherworldly pursuits right in front of their eyes.
But then again, the risk of burn-in only becomes a real threat and disadvantage if you use the plasma TV full blast. You can always cheat by reducing the TV’s contrast to just 50%.
With every new technology, there are always good points and bad and plasma televisions are not free from these issues. In the game of ‘who’s-the-better-tv’, there really is no one clear winner. If you choose a plasma television, then it’s only because you like what you see, you can afford it and you can handle the disadvantages of a plasma television while enjoying the advantages.
