Toshiba launched the world's first glasses-free 3D television in Japan, amid intense market competition .
The new Regza GL1 12-inch LCD TV costs 119,800 yen (1,400 dollars), which may be kind of pricey for most consumers. A 20-inch model will be released on Saturday.

While shoppers stopped to check out the display in a central Tokyo electronics store, they expressed doubt about the success of the new model.
