86% of plasma TVs to be 3D ‘by 2013′
A market research firm based in Seoul is predicting that sales of 3D plasma TVs will rocket in the next three years, with 86 per cent of all plasmas sold in the market to be 3D ready.
There is a big divide at the moment over which technology provides the best 3D experience: LCD or plasma.
TV experts are predicting that 3D will mean a resurgence for plasma, which has taken a bit of a hammering of late, due to the relative cheapness of LCD TVs.
But it seems that the introduction of LED technology has added to the costs of LCDs, now putting the plasma technology at the more reasonable price point.
Displaybank agrees, saying about the 3D market: “3D PDP TV is expected to appeal to consumers from more reasonable price perspective point as the product widens price gap from highly priced 3D LED LCD TV.
