TV manufacturers aim to strike it rich with 3D sets in Las Vegas

The announcement was made as television companies prepare to unveil their latest 3D sets at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Manufacturers Sony, LG and Samsung are all expected to announce that 3D televisions will be on sale in the United States and Europe in a matter of months.

It is unclear when the broadcasts by Disney-owned ESPN will be available outside of the US, but an ESPN spokesman said it was unlikely to be available to Irish viewers until after the World Cup next June.
