    I think manufactuers and movie studios are trying to create a demand for 3D that currently isn't really there.  Way too many people hate it and I don't really feel the need to have 3D television when I'm perfectly fine with 2D, especially if glasses are involved.  Reminds me of Blu-Ray but even less enticing.

    Yup I think they need to find a way to have it without the 3D glasses. I wouldn't help watching one while i wear those glasses for 3 hours watching a movie, game, etc.

    It's one of those techs that will be good to wait a couple of years till they work out the kinks in it.

    Samsung claims they are working on a system that doesn't require glasses.  I think it's just vaporware now.

    I personally hate 3-D, I do not know if it is because I wear glasses but the 3-D glasses hurt my eyes.  I do not think the movies are that much better in 3-D and is just a waste of money.  It is just one of things that they keep trying to put on us, like they did in the late 80s and early 90s.  I hope it does not catch this time.

    I just got the Samsung 55C8000 3D TV this week.  Haven't tried the 3D yet, will soon.  But the picture is unfreakingbelievable and the whole set is gorgeous.  I was coming from a 10-year old big 'ol 52 inch Mitsubishi console.  HDTV big difference.  It's not like a 3d TV is only for 3D or anything.  That's just a bonus.  This is basically an Internet TV too.  Bad boy can do so much.

    It's about $2,500 now at Amazon (no tax, free shipping) plus you can get the 3D kit for free with the purchase of a Blu-Ray player (about $300). 

    A shout out to Bookmaker's Amazon rewards for allowing this to happen for me.

    This Samsung 3D TV is so slick.  It's an internet device too.  I got it connected to my wireless network and I can get lots of internet content.  YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, Skype.  Games.  Monster v. Aliens 3D was really good, but there's not a lot of 3d content yet.  Apparently ESPN is doing some 3D, I guess some World Cup was, the HR derby.  But it's not like it's just a 3D TV, that's just an extra added bonus.  I hardly can believe how impressive this thing is.  Now I'll never got off my ass.

    All the Samsung LED TV's require glasses for 3D viewing.  But if the broadcast is 1080i HD @ 240hz it 's so amazing it almost looks 3D.  I got an IMAX Blu-Ray and it's not 3D but it damn near looks like it.

    The deep blacks on this TV are just gorgeous.

    Now I need a good surround sound system.  Kinda OT, but any recommendations.

    All the Samsung LED TV's require glasses for 3D viewing.  But if the broadcast is 1080i HD @ 240hz it 's so amazing it almost looks 3D.  I got an IMAX Blu-Ray and it's not 3D but it damn near looks like it.

    The deep blacks on this TV are just gorgeous.

    Now I need a good surround sound system.  Kinda OT, but any recommendations.
