Big surprise – survey shows nobody’s interested in 3D TVs

19 November 2010

Price comparison site Twenga polled 3000 people, and discovered that – despite what hype-snorting marketers might have us believe to the contrary– nobody’s much bothered about 3D yet.

According to the survey, only one percent of UK consumers had any plans to buy a 3D TV this holiday shopping season, while the average between six countries (UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands) showed that:

• 32 percent of respondents thought 3D TVs were too expensive;

• 12 percent said the tech isn’t up to scratch;

• 12 percent are interested in some other type of TV;

• 35 percent don’t want a 3D TV at all;

• 3 percent couldn’t decide whether or not they wanted a 3D TV;

• 1 percent didn’t know what a 3D TV is.

Presumably, 100 percent of respondents also decided those glasses make you look stupid.
