There isn't any need for such an expensive set, it's possible to retro fit perfectly good existing sets.
All modern LCDs can refresh the screen at 100Hz or more, so there is the scope to feed it a 100fps signal consisting of alternate left and right images for the 3D effect. To drive 3D shutter glasses, all that's needed is for the picture to contain two little left and right squares at the bottom left corner which are displayed on alternative frames, small optical sensors attached to the screen can then pick up which square is illuminated and send the signal switch on and off the appropriate eyes shutter.
This was all done back in the mid 80's on a BBC Micro to enable 3G wireframe graphics and steroscopic images to be viewed, and it worked well. Back then the glasses where wired to photo sensors stuck on the screen, and the effect was rather flickery as the monitor only refreshed at 50Hz. But with wireless glasses and 100Hz refresh, any TV could be a 3D TV for very little cost.

Bllody expensive when you could retro fit
