It's Time to Make 3D TVs a Thing Again

That lasted about four years. By 2015, 3D TVs were a fading fad, and by 2017, the last few holdouts manufacturing them, LG and Sony, weren't making them at all anymore. By that point, 3D TVs were synonymous with Microsoft Zune and Betamax, decent ideas overruled in the court of public opinion and doomed to be ridiculed as failures. What went wrong with 3D TV? Consumers were still navigating their way toward larger TV sets with 4K-quality resolutions. The ability to display 3D content added cost to those TV sets, and required game consoles or Blu-ray players capable of putting out that content just as physical media was starting to decline in favor of streaming.
