Blu-ray & TV models boosting 3D LED
TV shipments
A DisplaySearch analyst says more 3D LED TV models will ship later this year.
TV shipments are on the rise with the availability of more of the best 3D LED TV models and increasing
movie and sports content in 3D, research firm DisplaySearch said on Wednesday.
3D LED TV shipments could reach 3.4 million this year, a sharp increase from the 214,000 units that
shipped last year, said Paul Gray, director of European TV research at DisplaySearch.
Hollywood is generating more 3D movies, which are being released on Blu-ray 3D discs, Gray said. That has led
to increased interest in 3D TV sets, Gray said.
"The formation of a 3D Blu-ray specification at the end of 2009 gave confidence that 3D was a consumer format
and not just for movie theaters," Gray said. Consumer electronics companies such as Samsung and Sony have
released Blu-ray 3D movie players.
The broadcast of sports events such as the FIFA World Cup in 3D is also creating interest in
3D LED TV sets, Gray said.
And 3D gaming is also available now. Microsoft in June
introduced the Kinect gaming kit, which allows users to play 3D games using the Xbox 360.
But only a few companies such as Panasonic and Samsung have rolled out 3D flat-panel LED TV. More models will
be launched later this year, which should also drive adoption, Gray said. New models are expected to launch at
the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin, Sept. 3-8.
The prices of 3D LED TV sets have also been falling. Samsung announced a new lineup of 3D LED TV models in
March, with a basic 40-inch LCD UN40C7000 model priced at US$1,999. The same 3D TV is now available on
Amazon.com for $1,499.98 (the price is listed only during checkout) and on B&H Photo and Video's website
for $1,699.
Looking into the future, DisplaySearch predicted that 3D LED TV shipments will reach around 42.9 million
units in 2014. For now, consumers have to wear a separate pair of glasses to watch 3D LED TV, but
companies such as Samsung are researching 3D TV that does not require glasses.
