First 3D was the next big thing in television. Then it was a feature, not a category. Now it may be turning into an absent feature and a dead category.

An anonymous source at Samsung told cnet that 2016 models will not support 3D. Some Samsung models carried over from 2015 will still support it, as will some sets from LG and a couple from Sony. Vizio pulled out of 3D in 2013.

But who needs 3D when we have virtual reality? Samsung’s Gear VR headset will enhance in-the-flesh rollercoaster rides at Six Flags amusement parks by adding heroic visuals of Superman battling the LexBots and fighter jets repelling alien invaders.
