Technology Update – The Demise of 3-D TV?

By Ken Parker


Among all the announcements of new gaming and operating systems this past week perhaps the biggest announcement for TV fans is that ESPN is ceasing 3D broadcasts by the end of the year.  This is huge because it basically puts the nail in the coffin for the future of 3D TV.  I would expect 3-D on TV to dwindle and finally become the passing fad it was destined to become.  This does not mean that 3-D TVs are done for.  There could still be a market for 3-D blu ray and TVs.  Of course 3-D movies have not been completely dominating the box office.  Sure, they make a lot of money but so does 2-D.  So it would seem that 3-D movies may be showing signs of mortality.
