Korean electronics firm LG has announced its decision to launch its first passive technology-based 3D-ready television set in the UK by May this year.
Korean Electronics Firm LG have announced that they plan to release the first 3D TV set with passive glasses in the UK by May. This is opposed to the launch of their range of Televisions with Active Shutter Glasses and will greatly help to reduce the price and therefore barrier to entry of 3D viewing devices.
It has been reported that the LD950 is a 47-inch LCD 3D …

LG are the latest manufacturer to release approximate prices for their upcoming 3D TV range. LG models are due a UK release in May 2010.

LG LX9900 47″ 3D TV will be priced between £2500 and £3000
LG LX9900 55″ 3D TV will be priced between £3600 and £4000

So, not cheap – but around the same sort of ballpark as the Sony range. Samsung, however, are likely to pitch their range cheaper than their main rivals.

The expected April 2010 launch of LG’s flagship 3D TV, the LD360, has now been cancelled. The LD360 is a 47″ LED TV and was expected to be here in time for the launch of Sky’s upcoming 3D TV service.
It is now looking highly likely that Samsung will remain unchallenged in the 3D TV arena for several weeks, if not months, when (if) they launch their range as expected in March.
