I think electronic shows are there to show off new technologies not ones we can buy from our local currys store already. 3D hasn't gone away its just not new anymore same as how they don't have a keynote speech that says this tv displays its picture in colour instead of black and white.

If they improve upon the technology with 3D expect to see it back at these shows in future years.

Ahh Geez, tel that to Sony and all the other manufacturers that are releasing 3D TV's and 3D content, QUICK..

There is nothing new to show in 3D technology it's just the same tech and choices, it's now up to the content providers the create content.

Now lets see how dead 3D is. At CES2013 Samsung revealed a flagship OLED technology TV the KN55F9500 Real OLED TV.

Here is an extract

[" One of the unique features though is the true Multi-View feature, which lets two people watch entirely different programs with audio. While last year saw several two-person gaming solutions, these involved a single game and shared audio. The optional $99 3D glasses will incorporate headphones and enable two users to watch separate 2D or 3D content."]

Look I see Multiview and 3D as the two main touted features???? Now tell me again is 3D dead.

Stupid opinion pieces are just that... Stupid opinion pieces!

It was unfortunately too big a jump from HD TV's coming only few years back from it. HD took fair amount of time to filter through shops, media and technology firms. The jump from HD to 3D on the tail end of global recession sealed its doom in 2009.

Yeah sure it is. 4k is all well and good, but the human eye can only see so much detail, and so 2d will undoubtedly reach it's limit (You will barely be able to tell the difference between 4K and above unless you watch from a few cm away).

3D is the future, and just because there is nothing being shown off this year, it doesn't mean there aren't any products bubbling away in a backroom somewhere.

Also, the gaming industry is on the verge of a 3D renaissance, with HD VR goggles with head tracking (Oculus Rift) not only getting a definite release for PC, but also being the subject of a prototype from Sony. Microsoft is also allegedly developing kinect goggles, while Valve is both taking a keen interest in 3D goggles and actively looking at funding them. So we've got all three gaming heavyweights looking at the technology with one independent project having developer editions released in March (and this one already has support from many upcoming releases).

Have no doubt that if 3D goggles take off in the gaming world, that people will want to use them to watch movies on, and that we may eventually see an impact on living room viewing.

3D is far from dead; it's simply taking a moment to consider how to proceed.

I enjoy 3D. It adds a layer of depth into the image which engrosses you into a game/video. In Assassin's Creed III, for example, the depth of field really helps make the world believable. The beautiful opening shot in Hugo from famed director, Martin Scorsese, really reminds me of what 3D can be capable of.

3D isn't dead. Why do people want it to fail so badly??

Go watch The Hobbit in 3D and than come back to me and say that 3D is dead.

Morons!

3D ain't dead.. these next gen OLED and 4K screens are going to incorporate 3D as standard features.

It also depends on the producers'/directors' preference as showed by Chris Nolan a great director but is in opposition with 3D tech although still delivering a great film in the Batman series.

In the end it's the way how film makers/game developers/television sporting programs utilize 3D to suit their needs and fan base.

when was it ever alive?

A new leap was introduced too soon and in a broken economy. It's not dead or stillborn....just on the backburner. With latest tech, incorporated 3D is an absolute given.

That's because 3D is not for everyone, not everyone have perfect eye sights.

3D is awesome! and far from being dead...

Where's Gene Dolgoff when you need him? I would buy one his converter if it preforms as advertized. My guess is that he's working on downsizing his prototype.

Make way for 4KD... if you die in-game, you die for real...

the best part about all these 4k and whatever new tvs come out is that i can get a 120 hertz 1080p 55inch for bottom dollar now that all these smart tvs and now 4k

Don't these new fangled UHDTVs have 3D aswell?
