There are some very significant signs that 3D TV is in its death throes. Good riddance to a stupid idea.

Vizio, who sells more TVs than any other company in the US, that it has "done away with 3D playback entirely".

They are big on 4k which is neat but not widely supported by much content. At least 4k makes sense and doesn't rely on visual tricks and optical illusions.

I have always been hugely bearish on 3D technology because of the fact that it is inherently just an optical illusion. This means it can never work perfectly and will always cause eye strain and other discomfort for most people. Until we have true hologram technology, 3D will always be a fail.

Now we need some movie studios to jump on board also and kill the latest 3D gimmick attempt completely.
