| O-D-C said: as the technology gets cheaper and more people get exposed to it it will come into its own. Not sure if 3D will be as big a hit as HD but we'll see |
I'm not convinced 3D is set to become a new industry standard like HD just on the basis of content. Until broadcast programming is regularly shot in 3D, reasons for the mass consumer to specifically buy a 3D capable HDTV remains limited to 3D movies and 3D games.
On the other hand, 3D capable HDTVs will eventually cost the same as current 1080p HDTVs, which are now available as entry level models (priced as premium barely three years ago). Basically it means 3D will cease to be a "premium" HDTV feature that consumers have to pay premium prices for and may well end up being a feature not often used by many consumers even though they have a 3D capable HDTV.
