its the $64m question , weather your for or against 3d tv , one thing is sure , its on its way , so how much will it cost ??
lets start with sony , they really need a good year , their market share has fallen , and recent quality control issues have not helped , so its a new year , new start , new tech , they need to sell , now , given that many people are of the opinion that watching 3d on a screen less than 50in is not worthwhile , lets try and guess the prices of each makers 50-52in versions , well , one would assume that sonys new screens are going to cost more than the z series , which now costs around £2200 , so im going with £3000 for a 52in sony 3dtv...
next up samsung , doing very well , getting a good name and fanbase worldwide , their current 52in led tvs are also around the £2k mark , assuming again that their new 3d tvs will be a good bit costlier , im going with £2800 for their 52in 3dtv...
but the interesting one for me , is panasonic , they have used the input of the kuro engineers on this years high end plasmas , saving the infinate black pro (hopefully this translates to 9g kuro blacks) for their 3d models , and we all know how good the kuros were , now , given that a 50v10 sells for £1500 , thats 25-35% less than the same class of sony or samsung , one would hope that they will keep that difference in place , so my guess for a 3dtv from panasonic , £2000....
i could be way off the mark , after all they would be undercutting sony and samsung by a great deal , and one might ask why would they do that , they could charge £2400 and still be the cheapest , (all hypothetical of course) but would they then sell enough ?? competition will be fierce this year , the fiercer the better ....
