Is 3D TV Doomed?

IHS iSuppli analyst Riddhi Patel says that only 13 percent of U.S. households plan to purchase a new TV in the next 12 months, The Post reports. And with the economy sputtering along, fewer consumers are willing to splurge on a 3D TV, particularly when the benefits appear negligible.

Since TV manufacturers are adding 3D to their high-end models, there's a good chance that many of us will buy a 3D TV, but never use its 3D features.
