Sales of 3DTV sets are off to a slow start

Less than 10% of the people who have heard about 3D television sets expressed interest in buying one, according to a Leichtman Research Group survey that found 80% of respondents were familiar with the technology. "With modest consumer demand for 3D-capable TVs, the potential growth of 3DTV will rely on a continued push of 3DTV by manufacturers and retailers, as well as the fact that about one-fifth of all U.S. households purchase a new TV each year," said analyst Bruce Leichtman.Click here to see the full article at Home Media Magazine

3D TV: Where are the Content Providers

I recently visited Frys in Chicago to widow shop for a new BIGSCREEN and there it was: a 82 inch high def 3D TV....WOW. After conversing with the salesperson, I was disappointed about the lack of content for 3D technology.

There lies the problem! The TV cost a premium but there is not enough movies to justify the price. I understand that as new technology comes out it is often expensive, but in the past, there was always content available (i.e. Blue rays, CD, DVD's etc)

AT&T announced that it has plans to develop new 3D movies (click here the news article) , but for now, I think I will just sit back and watch..

Do you have plans to purchase a 3D? If so, when and what do you think about the lack of 3D movies
