I just can't see it meaning anything (possibly with the exception of the gaming crowd prolonging the gimmick this time).
Lets put it like this, mass-market punter has $2000 and sees it could buy either a 40" 3D HD TV or a 55" 2D HD TV. Which one do you seriously think they are going to go for?
It may be that 3D specs just come with most TVs at some point so you get it whether you like it or not but the need for glasses and the lack of content not to mention the completely unnecessary element in this (who cares about the majority of TV in 3D anyways - your soaps in 3D?!) say to me this will be another 3D damp squib.
(even tho I agree Avatar in 3D at the cinema was the best 3D I've seen yet. That could also be very double-edged & may be setting people up for a major - not to say expensive considering the extra glasses etc you have to buy to share this beyond 2 people - disappointment. I do not see 3D at home ever being close to cinema)
