# 3D Consumer TVs LG Presents the Future of Television in the 47" 47LH50 (UPDATE) By Jay Oatway | Published 2009-06-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-new-dimension-for-television-3d-has-arrived References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/18/lg-readies-first-47lh50-3d-lcd-tv-just-29-999-999-to-go/) & [lge.co.kr](http://www.lge.co.kr/cokr/pr/pr_news/FrontBoardDetailCmd.laf?mncode=NEWS&actcode=NEWS&seq=10422) No longer is HDTV the ultimate in TV viewing. Starting next month in Korea, 3D TV will become a reality. [LG](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-oled-tvs) will become the first of many manufacturers rushing 3D TVs to market, with their 47-inch 47LH50 available for purchase next month (only available in Korea—for now). The 3D TVs will require the viewers to wear [polarized glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-laptop). And, of course, the video must be shot or created in 3D, like the recent “Monsters vs. Aliens” movie. LG expects 3D TV to become a worldwide sensation, and have announced plans to produce 30 million units, many of which they plan to sell by 2012 just before the Olympics, which are expected to be broadcast in 3D. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **3D TV:** Capitalizing on the emerging trend of 3D TV, manufacturers have the opportunity to create innovative features that enhance the viewing experience. - **Polarized Glasses:** The use of polarized glasses in 3D TVs creates opportunities for companies to develop stylish and comfortable eyewear that complements the immersive visual experience. - **3D Content Creation:** The increasing demand for 3D content opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for creators and filmmakers to push the boundaries of storytelling and visual effects. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Television Manufacturing:** The rise of 3D TV presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for TV manufacturers to develop cutting-edge technologies and compete in the growing market. - **Eyewear:** The adoption of polarized glasses in 3D TV creates a new market for eyewear companies to design fashionable and comfortable glasses specifically tailored for the 3D viewing experience. - **Entertainment Content:** The demand for 3D content opens up disruptive opportunities for content creators to produce compelling and immersive experiences, revolutionizing the entertainment industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Deep Learning TV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-oled-tvs.md) - [Immersive Imaginative TV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-magnit-active-micro-led-tv.md) - [Wireless High-Definition TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oled-m.md) - [Wireless Transparent Oled TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-signature-oled-t.md) - [Transparent OLED Premium Televisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-oled-t-smart-tv.md) - [Micro Illumination TV Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-micro-rgb.md) - [Ultra-Thin Wireless TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oled-evo-w6.md) - [Precision Computer-Like Televisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-oled-m4.md) - [Glasses-Free 3D Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odyssey-3d.md)
