You thought owning a 3D television required a fat wallet? Think again. A UK retailer, Currys, has started selling a 42-inch LED tridimensional television for a mere £399. Oh, and that includes delivery too.

The Logik L423ED is based on passive 3D technology and comes with 10 pairs of 3D glasses. For those wondering what passive is,…

The survey claimed that only 22 per cent planned to purchase a 3D TV with a further 23 per cent saying they’d purchase a 3D TV if it was much cheaper.
However, 55 per…

Reportedly over 4,000 Australians…
