Consumers and 3DTV
Similar to the growth of HD content and HD Ready TVs, Philips expects the interest in an in-home 3D experience to grow hand-in-hand with the availability of content. Just as there are a variety of ways for consumers to enjoy 2D content, the same will be true for 3D.Initial signs of consumer demand are starting to show based on the popularity of 3D theatrical box office releases and initial broadcast offerings. This demand will increase slowly over the coming years.
