The 3D TV will continue to be a niche market, unless a method to enjoy it in life like size and without strain is invented. Presently, although the effect of 3D is good, the size of the TV imposes limitations. Not every body can afford a 3D projector now.

Along with the lack of 3D content, the very high cost of the BR disk also a dampner.
