Twenga Survey Finds That Europeans Are Still Cautious of 3D TV
NEW YORK–The results from the annual Christmas shopping survey conducted for Twenga, the most comprehensive shopping search engine, show that 47% of Europeans don’t want to receive a 3D TV for Christmas.
Although the Germans and the Dutch agree with the British, the French (57%), the Italian (69%) and the Spanish (61%) would like to find a 3D TV under their Christmas tree.
One of the main reasons they see for not being offered a 3D TV is the price: 32% of the British, 36% of the French and 48% of the Spanish find it too expensive.
