3D TV

3DTV was a huge hit during the Consumer Electronics Show 2009, with companies such as Panasonic and LG making big strides with 3DHD (three dimensional high definition) screens of fabulous quality. Industry experts said the picture looks promising with a survey showing around 3.4m 3D TV sets will be sold in the US this year.

"It's a challenging market. We need something to kick us out of this," said Panasonic's Elsuke Tsuyuzaki.
"To me, the thing that's going to get us there is 3D," added the firm's chief technology officer.

Many however believe 2010 really is the breakthrough year for the technology, helped in large party by the growing number of 3D movies at the theatre and the success of James Cameron's sci-fi epic Avatar.

"While 3D has taken a number of years to penetrate in the movie theatres, I believe this is the year it will beginto enter the home," Jeffrey Katzenberg, the head of Dreamworks Animation told BBC News. In 2010 around 20 out of 170 movies will be made in 3D, double the number from last year.
