LG Electronics says it will introduce its first 3-D-capable flat panel TVs for the US market in May.

Other major TV makers are expected to join the Korean company with announcements of 3-D TVs at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The industry is making a major push to get 3-D into the home while consumers are still excited by 3-D movies in theatres.

Prices for the new LG sets have not yet been announced.

But Tim Alessi, director of product development at LG Electronics USA, said the TVs will likely cost about $US200 to $US300 more than comparable sets without 3-D functions.
