Der bliver ikke produceret LG- og Sony-fjernsyn med 3D-teknologi i år, og dermed sendes et klart signal om, hvor teknologien i hvert fald ikke står til et stort folkeligt gennembrud.
‘3D capability was never really universally embraced in the industry for home use, and it’s just not a key buying factor when selecting a new TV… Purchase process research showed it’s not a top buying consideration, and anecdotal information indicated that actual usage was not high. We decided to drop 3D support for 2017 in order to focus our efforts on new capabilities such as HDR, which has much more universal appeal,’ udtaler Tim Alessi, der er udviklingschef hos LG til Cnet.
Samsung droppede understøttelse af 3D i deres fjernsyn sidste år.
