It is hard to make a good collective decision for CE as probably for any
other industry. They had good ones and bad ones. NTSC probably a good one,
Beta-VHS- bad one. DVD - good one. HDDVD - Blu Ray - bad one, ATSC not so
good (COFDM) and took a long time, 3D also bad one for a simple reason: The
content providers are not synchronized with hardware providers. Still not so
many 3D Blu Ray titles. In case of hardware the development is in full
motion for all brands and all of them are making 3D option cost very little
and possibly 0 for new models. The content provider's will probably
grudgingly follow.

Big whoop. You only build 3D sets, so the market of 3D sets can't help but
grow.
My question is, how does the CE industry make these decisions? Honestly, I
don't get it.
When DTV started, the industry (and CEA) couldn't help but whine about
installing ATSC receivers, and they dragged their feet for years before
making a decently up to date STB available at all! It took a FCC order to
finally stop the logjam.
When IBOC digital radio started, it was like pulling teeth to get a decent
stereo component tuner with IBOC. And it's still impossible to get HD radio
factory installed in the very vast majority of cars.
So what is it that makes the TV industry so intent on cramming 3D sets down
our throats, whether we want them or not?
I'm so hugely unsympathetic with any of this nonsense. It just makes them
sound like they are all on the take.

3D TV market to grow 500% in 2011
The 3D TV market is set to grow by almost 500% this year, according to US
research firm In-Stat.
"Over the next few years, a greater percentage of large-screen TV sets will
ship with the 3D feature," says Michelle Abraham, Research Director. "We
expect 100% of all 40-inch and above DTV sets will eventually be 3D-enabled.
This will not only cause shipments of 3D TV sets to increase, but will also
grow the number of households worldwide with 3D TV sets."
In-Stat's research also found that households with 3D TV sets will eclipse
300 million in 2015.
In 2011 Europe will boast the most 3D TV unit shipments at just over 7
million. By 2015 Asia/Pacific will have the largest share of 3D TV unit
shipments at 32%, according to the research.
