Does anyone own a 3D TV? Share your opinions! Starting today, I'm oficially saving for one - so no more boomboxes for me - except for the two on my "want list" :-D

I won't be buying one until they release Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared Syn on 3D Blu-Ray.

That had an 18-year-old Kelly Preston in it - in 3D. I remember sitting in the theater with my dad, and getting a slight headache from the red and blue glasses, and not caring. Because of Michael Ironsides' robotic arms menacing those bikini-clad apocalypse-survivor girls. But mostly because of 3D Kelly Preston. I knew that I was only 6 at the time, so she was a little bit older. But we could make it work.

My friend just ordered a LED 3D LG tv last week.
The package he bought comes with the LG 3D compatible blu ray player and 4 pairs of the 3D glasses
I'm curious to see it when he gets it.
 
Specially gotta love Samsung when they say:
"DO NOT place your 3D television near open stairwells, cables, balconies or other objects that may cause you to injure yourself."
Holy-3D-Cow... a Samsung 3D TV on a Balcony? Sounds like fun!!! :lol:

Most people get headaches from 3D video. The intensity of it irritates the eyes. I think it would be annoying to have to wear the glasses too.

I have never used or seen one in person, so who knows - maybe it would be something I like but I am more simpistic than 3D :-/

I've seen a couple of 3D movies in a theater, but they use a different tech in the movie theaters - passive shutter vs. active shutter in the TVs.
I guess actuve hurts eyes more than passive. But it's not like there are tons of content in 3D - just seems like an interesting feature - especially for gaiming!

Hey Vladi, according to Samsung, there are some risks to be concerned about regarding 3D TVs:

hfaltermeyer, that is funny! :lol:

Bobby, this is why I will NOT buy a Samsung :lol: But on a serious note, I prefer Sony - they have a local dimming set, which Samsung lacks

I agree 100% with blu_fuz. :yes:
And it reminds me of this hilarious scene from an episode of Eastbound & Down:

"Don't get all excited dude, 3D is gay. Nobody wants to sit on a couch, wearing glasses, popping bubbles out of the air like some sort of f**ked-up Ray Charles." - Kenny Powers :lol:

Saw the 3D JVC X7 today with active glasses. It is much more realistic that any 3D TV sets I have seen.

3D TV sets don't live up to the hype, projection is a different story.

I passed on it. I didn't care about the idea of wearing glasses to watch it in 3D :thumbsdown: . Plus they're a lil on the high side of $$$ for now :thumbsdown: . So instead I bought a 65 inch Panny for $2090 :thumbsup: . My PS3 looks f'n amazing when I play COD Black Ops!!! :thumbsup: Jr2384 is my screen name if anybody wants to play :thumbsup:
