Will 3D TV Flop or Not?

There’s always an abundance of scepticism when it comes to accepting new technology into our lives. With the emergence of 3D TV on the horizons, it appears that some are predicting it will be a flop. At Review 3D TV, we think calling it a flop at this point is not only disappointing, but even disturbing.

3D TV is the buzz word of 2010 as television manufacturers roll out several models capable of displaying 3D content. While not everyone will rush out to purchase a 3D Television immediately, they will be evaluating what’s available. As television manufacturers battle for top position, only the early adopters will dish out the high price in the beginning.

When the general public finally understands how to determine 3D TV quality, we predict there will be a surge in purchases. Our research suggests that pricing for a 3D TV will only be slightly more than a typical flat screen HDTV. The public is not going to wait ten years for the price to come down like they did with the introduction of flat screens when they first came out.

One major hurdle that television manufacturers are facing before 3D Television sales will take off is content. Consumers simply won’t purchase a 3D TV until they are guaranteed to be able to watch the content they want on it. Several inroads are being made to produce content to match the anticipated demand for 3D TV, but will it be enough?

This summer ESPN will launch an entire station exclusively dedicated to broadcasting in 3D. The scheduled launch is June 11, 2010, and is being touted as the first all 3D television network. This extremely bold gamble by ESPN may or may not pay off. With limited broadcasting available, it’s really hard to say if this will inspire sports fans to run out and purchase a 3D Television. They plan on only airing new content on the new channel which means there will be plenty of blackout periods.

Another point of contention towards assuming 3D TV will flop is the fact that 3D Glasses are required to watch content. We believe that having a set of 3D Glasses on hand to watch 3D TV won’t be a big deal. Sure they will cost a little money and they might be awkward at first, but everyone will become accustom to wearing them. There will be a variety of styles available to suit every taste and size at a price you can afford.

3D TV will be big this year and will continue to grow in popularity every year thereafter. Some folks have prejudged 3D TV too early and have based their harsh criticism on early models that will be obsolete in six months. As 3D TV evolves, so will the interest and acceptance of this new medium. When content becomes available in 3D you will insist on seeing it the way it was meant to be seen. In fact, watching television the old way will probably seem boring.

For those who are saying 3D TV will flop, perhaps they should re-evaluate where they stand. 3D TV is the next big thing in television and the public is eager to learn more. As the technology evolves, it will become a “must have” for consumers globally.
