LG have announced that their flagship 3D TV which was unveiled earlier this year at CES, will not be available to purchase in the UK.

The Korean manufacturers have backtracked on plans to release the LG LD360 3D LED TV to consumers this April.

The 47 inch LCD TV – compatible with services such as the new Sky 3D TV channel, was scheduled for launch next month and only last month was touted as the start of a new wave of 3D TV’s.

At the time, an LG spokesman boasted:

“One of the biggest trends in TV in the coming years is certainly set to be 3D and LG is making its first 3D TV (LD360) available to consumers in April 2010.”

No further details are available, but Samsung are likely to be grinning from ear to ear, as their 9000 Series will be among the leaders in the race of 3D TV launches in 2010.
