LG , Panasonic , Samsung , Sony and Toshiba are working on idiot box to replace today ’s sets that sell for about $ 1,000 apiece , said Tim Renowned , medium and broadcast engineering psychoanalyst with the London - based industry research business firm Ovum .
price and screen size will spend as those companies mass grow the television system sets , Renowned articulate . Many 3D television set today are 46 inches all-encompassing , but 3D engineering can now be installed on proctor - sized devices and even handhelds as long as the screens have a high enough refresh rate .
On the modest side , Sharp has start selling two 3D handsets in Japan , LG will infix its Optimus 3D handset later this year and Nintendo has developed a handheld secret plan cabinet called the 3DS , Renowned said .
“ It ’s the same basic engineering that was launched last class , but they will make it cheaper , ” Renowned said . “ It ’s going to be really strong emergence , but coming off a humiliated base . ”

consumer should prepare for more attribute of selling to go along with the new ware , he say .
Also this class , on-line moving-picture show stores , smart boob tube sets and Internet - connected televisions will be capable to get more 3D movies , the analyst say .
The first wave of buyers of this class ’s 3D television sets will be the “ early adopter ” chemical group of men between ages 25 and 40 , he said . Ovum has not forecast the number of 3D televisions sold this year .
