So, you don’t like the 3D thing, huh? No problem. Just go to the electronics store and pick up a flat-panel unit without the technology. Wait, what’s that? Oh, there aren’t really many options these days that don’t have the 3D capabilities. Ah, well…you held out as long as you could, right?
This is the position many consumers are finding themselves in, even if they don’t really dig the 3D movement. Now, that’s not saying that you can’t pick up a great unit and simply not use the 3D. That’s obviously what you’ll need to do, however…
If you want a Smart TV, you’ll need to suck it up and take the 3D package with it. You don’t have to use it, but it’s going to be there. Think of it as being “bundled”. With so many television manufacturers realizing that the 3D landslide is simply too massive to stop, they’re including the capabilities in every new unit that comes off the line.
For the coming year, early numbers indicate that nearly ¾ of all new televisions will be 3D enabled. Lucky for us, the technology has gotten quite affordable, which honestly should help stem a lot of the criticism. Sure, 3D is fun, but many couldn’t justify buying the necessary equipment to enjoy it. Now, there’s isn’t much of a choice. If you want that top of the line unit, you’ll have to endure the pain of knowing it’s 3D ready. Is it the 3D that really gets you tied up in knots, or the fear that you’ll try it, absolutely love it, and then admit to all of your tech friends that you caught onto the craze a little late? Well, now you’ll be able to figure it out…
