88% of all 3D TVs sold in the US are made by Samsung - at least between March and July 2010. Samsung say that they have shipped 1 million 3D TVs in those 6 months. Obviously great news for Samsung.

Samsung has launched a new free application for their Internet @ TV (accessible from their 3D TVs). It's called "Explore 3D" and it allows you to stream 3D videos. It currently offers only three trailers (Shrek Forever After, Megamind, and How to Train Your Dragon).

The application will also offer video clips and premium video in the future. This is great news for Samsung 3D TV owners who can now view 3D directly from the TV, without a 3D Blu-ray player (or a PS3 or a 3D set-top box).

Trident says they will use Sensio's 3D technology in their upcoming 3D TV chip, the TV550. Sensio's technology converts the 3D image into Sensio's own 3D format which then can be transmitted over any 2D channel, at the receiving end 3D-content in Sensio format is decoded into original 3D content.

Actually, only 7% said they will buy a new TV in the next year. So 28% of people who want to buy a TV will buy a 3D TV, according to the study.
