3D TVs selling but not popular
The market for 3D televisions in the United States has just taken off, though awareness of the technology has mainly been raised because of the World Cup.
Price is the biggest drawback, followed by suspected health risks and content issues, sources told The Korea Times.
``It's intriguing to see quite a few consumers ask about the advantages of 3D televisions. Interestingly, they are usually shocked by the high-end prices,'' said a clerk who works for a Best Buy store on Weyburn Avenue, Los Angeles.
Though 3D televisions are offering the best TV technologies that only top-tier manufacturers such as Samsung, LG and Sony can give, Samsung's top-featured 3D model ― the 55-inch LED-backlit 240Hz ― is priced at a staggering $7,000.
``I cannot find firm strengths to persuade customers to buy the sets,'' a sales representative said.
``I'd recommend customers to buy when it comes down to less than $2,000,'' he said. A market research firm In-Stat said 3D TVs will account for 20 percent of sales in the United States by 2013.
