Besides the lack of content, the other major hurdle that's preventing 3D video from mass adoption has been the high prices of the displays.
A story by HDguru.com indicates that Samsung is going to break the high-price ceiling of the format when it announces a 3D television for less than $1,000.
The site is reporting that Samsung will introduce a 50-inch 3D-ready high-definition television (HDTV) that consumers will be able to pre-order from Amazon.com for $989 with free shipping on Aug. 11.
HDguru.com says the Samsung PN50C490 will have a resolution of 1365 x 768, and three HDMI v1.4 inputs, a single USB port, two component video inputs with left/right analog audio and a shared composite/PC (RGB) and PC audio/RF input.
The one caveat with the Energy Star-certified 3D television is that there are no active-shutter glasses included with it. With an average price of approximately $150 per set, a family of four should expect the additional cost of entry into the world of 3D to rise by about $600 before the purchase of a 3D-capable Blu-ray player.
That's still a relative bargain.
The $989 Samsung PN50C490 50-inch 3D-ready plasma is available for pre-order on Amazon.
