More than half of new TVs have 3D capability


Most new LCD and plasma TVs introduced this year will be 3D models, according to manufacturers. Don't get nervous—these sets often offer top-notch HD performance and come with other step-up features, and the 3D feature doesn't add much to the price. So even if you don't plan to watch 3D, one of these new TVs could be right for you.
