Television sets, with all their modern fittings and specifications, have completely redefined entertainment. Today, you can surf the Internet, watch your favorite online shows, and connect various devices for easy transfer of data using a TV set. The invention of 3D TVs had taken entertainment one step ahead by letting customers enjoy the best of technology in their own living rooms.

Unfortunately, these TVs are not in trend anymore and have been replaced by 4K TVs.

However, if you are planning to buy a 3D TV for your home, you have to note that you may not find the latest models. You might find the cheapest 3D TV in the local electronic shops and some may be refurbished models. Presently, in the TV market, 3D TVs are fading away. Following is more information on this old technology and why it failed to capture the market completely.

What is a 3D TV?
A 3D TV is an HDTV with the option of 3D mode. This option is not available anymore with most of the brands. However, when this technology was launched, all the high-end TVs introduced an option to switch to 3D mode and were shipped with 3D glasses. This means that all the 3D TVs are basically 2D TVs which convert content into 3D using inbuilt technology or sometimes an external 3D device, and the 3D glasses. 3D TVs were never cheap, to begin with, and, therefore, searching for the cheapest 3D TVs in the country will get you only the models of the TVs that cost lower compared to others.

Why are 3D TVs not so popular?
There are two main reasons that 3D TVs lost relevance. The first is the lack of 3D content. People who buy this TV only get to use the 3D mode for a few channels and movies. Over time, this problem made people realize that they are shelling out money on a technology which is not very popular in the market and may not go anywhere. The second issue was the need to wear glasses to watch 3D content. This somewhat ruined the fun for many. The price of a 3D TV further added to the woes of customers and unpopularity of 3D TVs, which have now been replaced by 4K TVs.

Following are the two 3D TVs that were very popular between 2012 and 2015. Today, you might be able to buy them in the local brand stores or second-hand.
