3D is cold! Foreign media claims that LG and Samsung will cut down on 3D TV

Once upon a time, the emergence of 3D TVs made many TV viewers feel happy. Without going to a movie theater, they could experience a stunning 3D effect. It also became one of the selling points for many manufacturers. However, over the past few years, consumer enthusiasm for 3D TV has declined. According to news reports from Korea’s ETNews, TV giants like Samsung and LG may reduce the shipment of 3D TVs in the future. Let’s look at them together.

As we all know, whether it is active shutter 3D, or not flash 3D, both 3D technologies require consumers to wear 3D glasses. According to statistics from South Korea, taking LG TVs sold in the Korean market as an example, the number of models with 3D capabilities in 2015 accounted for 40%, and by 2016, this figure has dropped to 20%, which means that Only 20% of the TVs sold have 3D capabilities.

Not only LG, but also Samsung TV. According to a device manufacturer that supplies Samsung TV with 3D glasses hardware, Samsung has reduced the purchase volume of active shutter 3D glasses and gradually reduced it. In addition, the market research institute IHS also stated that wearing 3D glasses has caused many consumers to feel inconvenience. This is only one of the reasons why 3D TVs are not popular. Another important reason is the lack of 3D content, which makes 3D TV use extremely limited.

Let's take a look at the development of domestic 3D TVs. At present, there are only some legitimate video on demand platforms with 3D zones. Compared with ordinary 2D videos, the content in 3D zones is also relatively small, generally only a few. Therefore, users can only download 3D movies from the Internet for viewing. This is one of the reasons why 3D TVs have gradually been left out. The author believes that before the naked eye 3D technology is popularized, the traditional 3D TV will still play a role of tasteless.
