If you’re in the market for a 3D TV, you’d do well to restrain your urge until the holiday season, when prices are expected to drop as much as $250 from current levels. While 3D TVs commanded a price premium of $900 last year, the premium has now plummeted to $400, and could slip to $150 by year’s end.

Retrevo conducted a study that projects large-screen 3D TVs could drop below $700 in Black Friday deals.

If price is the main reason you’ve held off from buying a 3D TV, would a drop like the one Retrovo predicts spur you to make a purchase?
