With a concept like the giant glassless 3D TV on display from the Japanese, very few expected Smart TVs to be a bigger hit at the IFA 2011, but as it turns out, that was indeed the case. It seems that the concept of glassless 3D or anything else related to three dimensional pictures on the television screen did not attract people as much as the concept of being able to access YouTube or Facebook right from the television did. The integration of YouTube 3D as announced by Samsung earlier in the IFA 2011, gained even more attention than was expected, making it one of the hits of the year. What we take away from all that we saw and heard in the IFA this year is that web and 3D capabilities will soon become the minimum standard for all TVs in the near future. These features can no longer be treated as features reserved only for the high-end consumers.
