LAS VEGAS -- By introducing, at the Consumer Electronics Show here Monday, a new line of cinema 3-D television sets with higher-resolution, bigger screens and a "smart TV ecosystem" designed to turn TV more and more into an Internet platform, LG Electronics committed a major piece of its future -- and to some extent, the whole consumer electronics industry -- to 3-D TV.
This is looking like a safer gamble than a year ago, when analysts predicted slow sales for 3-D TV and perhaps a fading of the 3-D "fad."
But, according to research firm NPD's DisplaySearch unit, 3-D TV sales by the end of 2011 had exceeded 21 million, with at least 15 million anticipated this year. The percentage of LCD TV sales for 3-D by the end of the third quarter 2012 is expected to approach 25 percent.
This is all good news for LG, whose new 3-D TVs are looking bigger and fancier than ever before, led by the 55-inch class (54.6-inch diagonal) 3D OLED TV and the 84-inch class (84.04 inch diagonal) 3D Ultra Definition (UD) TV, Its "fully matured" Smart TV ecosystem, according to Wayne Park, president and CEO of LG-North America, contains more than 1,200 apps and premium 3-D content.
