Will 3DTV Win Over The Skeptics?

While the Dish Network and some other cable and satellite providers have announced that they are moving ahead and offering 3DTV channels beginning in 2010 and 2011, others look at the industry and predict that any further action will take a number of years. A recent study by the University of Southern California’s Entertainment Technology Center in concert with the Consumer Electronics Association found that only about 25% of internet users were considering buying a 3DTV in the next three years.

It is believed that one of the major problems for 3DTV will be the price of the peripherals, notes Bruce Leichtman, of the Leichtman Research Group, and others that . A common, affordable price for a pair of 3D glasses comes in at $50. Of course, the price for a 3DTV can really pile up when you take into consideration that you will have to buy 3DTV glasses for everyone in your family along a few extra pairs for any guests that stop by. Otherwise, those without glasses will be stuck watching the blurry image that 3D appears as when glasses aren’t used.

While a BBC article cited a survey that forecast 3.4 million 3D TV sets will be sold in the United States alone this year, analyst James McQuivey disputes those figures. The vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research, in his blog post, wrote that not even a million US homes will have 3D TV in 2010?.

Is the public ready for 3D TV? Many questions still need to be answered and will be over the coming years, but one thing is certain, you will never see TV the same again.
