Now, as much as people say that glasses are a non-starter I personally think that people would accept glasses if they were reasonably affordable (between $5 and $10 per pair); and these TVs would still have some market if the glasses weren't insanely priced (up to about $25 per pair). When these TVs tend to only come with 2 pairs of glasses, each additional pair of glasses is $100 (or more), and people want to be able to watch Movies/Sports events with 12 (or possibly more) people the cost of glasses becomes a serious problem.


Its just not technically possible at this point and time to release active shutter lcd glasses for under 50 dollars. Even the chinese knock offs which fall appart in a week are 49.99.

Passive technology would have worked for cheap glasses, but we would have not seen 1080p per eye 3D for another 10 years...until TVs with 2160p lines become available.
