Perhaps the three big features that make the new smart TVs ‘smart’ rank in the final three spots. 3D ready support, Internet web browsing and Internet video hold these spots, which “shocked” Hiroshi Sakamoto, deputy senior general manager of Sony’s home entertainment group, according to Inside CI.

Sony internal research: Consumer needs for TV

  1. Picture quality
  2. Screen size
  3. Sound quality
  4. Price
  5. Full HD 1080p resolution
  6. Slim TV screen
  7. Energy saving
  8. Ease to use remote
  9. Design
  10. LCD TV
  11. Brand
  12. Multiple connections
  13. LED TV
  14. USB port
  15. PC input
  16. Frame refresh rate
  17. Thin bezel
  18. 3D ready
  19. Internet web browsing
  20. Internet video

That doesn’t appear to stop Sony from trying to force 3D upon us, with the company said to be planning to release 100 3D Blu-ray titles before the summer, which will “help revitalise 3D,” said Sakamoto.

Revitalize? Doesn't something need to be vitalized before it can be revitalized?
