Makers of big-screen televisions risk confusing shoppers with competing 3-D TV formats at a time when the higher-priced sets have been slow to catch on.
LG Electronics Inc., the world’s third-largest maker of liquid-crystal display sets, said yesterday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that it will offer large models using 3-D glasses like those in cinemas, joining Vizio Inc., the second-largest U.S.-based maker. On Jan. 4, Toshiba Corp. said it will sell sets that don’t use glasses starting midyear.
