The sales of 2D HD TVs have drop fast which has drag the TV market down, but 3D TVs sales are up higher & higher these days. So that just shows that no one wants HD is all.

I'm assuming you mean, "no one wants HD [at] all". If so, I find this statement hard to believe. First of all from what I have read recently 3D is unpopular due to lack of content and discomfort with the technology. Second, even if 3D TVs are selling they are still HD and the 3D feature may go unused. The few people I know who have 3D TVs never use the 3D feature. While you're first statement may be true, the second one is quite a long stretch.

Thank you for this post


I didn't mean at all, but it seems that HD did nothing for console sales & movie sales for them to sale like standard-definition.

Lack of 3D content will obviously affect 3D popularity but with around 70 3D movies this year & 45 3D moves last year, well it's more of a lack of being inform.

Discomfort of technology is what color Tv & Movies with thru back in the 60's with the headaches & nausea & so fort, so this common when you have spend so many years watching black& white TVs, or in this case spent too many years watching 2D TVs. Is is why most cases are with senior citizen with fewer cases among middle-age Americans and almost no cases with young people. Plus other people just have a medical problem that was never caught by the doctors checkups.

More info on 3D effect on people: http://www.aoa.org/x17309.xml

the 3D is only going unused because of lack of content, unless you have cable or satalite where you can stream some free 3D Movies & so fort on demand, plus there is Vudu with other streaming serives getting 3D content like Hulu plus, so you know Netflix will follow afterwards.

 So I do agree, but the issues aren't as bad as they sound.
