So they sold 1m 3dtv sets in 6 months.... I wonder how many non-3dtv's they sold in that period...

I still think glasses required 3DTV will bomb ultimately.

Glassless is the way forward and I think Samsung will lead that too. 

Samsung have cash to burn, they are huge... their revenue is 30% more than Sony and Panasonic for example and thier profits last year were massive whilst Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG & Hitachi really struggled.

Samsung are probably the biggest consumer electronics company on the planet right now.  Their assets arent quite at Sony levels, not that it matters,  but by every other measure they are leaving them, and most others, for dead.

Yea Samsung are the biggest consumer electronics company.

 

Off-topic - I love my new Sony Bravia though, I was getting bored on Samsung LCD's in my house, it needed a change!

Have you/Are you getting a 3DTV? I can remember you considering it.
