Australians will be able to buy 3D television sets from next Monday.
Samsung today launched its new line-up of television sets, including the series 7000 LED TV, which will be in stores from April 19. It will cost from $2899 for the 40-inch set, including two sets of 3D glasses.
The 46-inch set will cost $3699 and the 55-inch set $4799.
Additional glasses will cost $129 a pair for a rechargeable model and $99 a pair for a battery-powered option.
Three-D plasma models will follow in May.
Rival manufacturer Sony announced in February that its 3D TVs would be available in Australia from July. Other manufacturers also are rushing to get their sets to market this year as the fascination with 3D looks set to drive home entertainment sales in the same way it has revitalised cinema box office in the past six months.
