How much can the 3D circuitry add to the cost of a 4k TV set?
The cost is insignificant.
Then they should strip 4K ability from current sets, as I doubt very many households are running full 4K content.I bet consumers complained, and still would, that they were forced to pay for something they didn't want.
Are you kidding?Then they should strip 4K ability from current sets, as I doubt very many households are running full 4K content.

With the above corrections and whether we like to admit it or not that was the crux of why they were stripped. It sucks and those companies don't give a damn about their consumers which is why they moved on to their new marketing campaign. It remains to be seen if this one is more successful and last longer than the last one. IMO, they screwed up this roll out too which is power for the course with this industry. I'm including the studios and content providers too as part of the industry.I think he was just making a point that it was/is a dumb idea to strip a TV set of a feature becausesomemost people are not taking advantage of it. There area lot ofsome people who used the 3D function, who have now had their collections orphaned by these lousy consumer electronic companies.
A few weeks ago, I was buying smart bulbs. There were two options... ones that were programmable and had a range of colors, and ones that did all that with the added ability to produce infrared night vision light so security cameras could see in the dark. The ones with infrared cost a little bit more. I bought the cheaper model without the night vision because I don't have a video security system like that. I think 3D TV is the same. If you don't see any use for it, you won't pay for it. If enough people don't see the use for it, the market forces the feature out. I'm sure night vision light bulbs will go the same way. Who wants a camera to be able to see them clearly when they get up in their boxers to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night?
Have you seen the price of 4K televisions go down because 3D was dropped?
Everybody would like everyone else to have to pay extra for something they don't need, but when it's something you don't need that costs extra, it's a different story. That's why supply and demand is the best way to work these things out.
I don't need digital downloads or standard Blu-ray discs in my 4K purchases, but I'm not bitching about having to pay for something that someone else uses. I'm not demanding they stop putting those discs in there, so I can save a couple of dollars.
