Buying Guide: The Best 3D TVs
For all the hype they've received in the past few years, 3D HDTVs haven't exactly been flying off the shelves; in fact, HDTV manufacturers are moving away from promoting 3D as the next big thing for displays. These days, a high-end HDTV usually includes 3D as a matter of course, and it's a feature that will probably look great, work out of the box, and be quickly forgotten if you don't have a lot of 3D content. If you do have 3D Blu-ray discs or games, though, it's a handy boon.
That's where this list comes in. The 3D HDTVs listed below include the best, top-of-the-line screens we've reviewed in the last year, along with several more affordable models that squeeze solid performance into a reasonable price. Whether you want to go all-out on a high-end HDTV or want to keep your budget under control while still getting top-notch 3D, these are some of the best choices available as both 3D HDTVs and HDTVs in general.
If you're ready to make the move to 3D, check out our list of the best 3D TVs below. For a top-rated 2D TV, check out The 10 Best HDTVss. And for general HDTV buying advice, read How to Buy an HDTV.
