I do!
…but we still have to wear glasses in all cases.
Panasonic is debuting it’s “groundbreaking full HD 3D Home Entertainment System” today starting at about $3000 for the full home theater and $2500 for the TV itself. (Note: the glasses will cost $150!) Samsung revealed it’s 3D TV yesterday and Sony will be releasing there’s this summer.

As well as 3D abilities, the new LED TVs offer Internet@TV connectivity with the new Samsung App Store on board. To give you an idea of what you’ll have to cough up to go 3D in the comfort of your own home, pricing for the TVs alone ranges from $380 to $7,000.
I’ve watched Coraline in 3D on my own HD TV on DVD and it was pretty good. I was impressed at least.
I wonder though, how is this fancy new TV different than slapping a DVD or Blu-Ray disc and getting a pair of those crappy red/blue glasses that come in the case. What makes this TV something that I want to buy and worth it? I guess I’ll have to wait for reports to come out about how this TV is different. I’ll also have to go to the store and see one for myself.

Don’t really care for it. What’s the point anyway?
I’m not sure. Maybe “seeing is believing” in this case. I’m not in the market for a new TV anyway. Mine serves me well for now.
Yknow, I don’t think I do either. I’d personally rather spend my big bucks on a nice LED big screen TV.
I saw Avatar at the cinema in 3D. It looked good, but even half an hour in, I was getting a headache. I don’t know what it is, but it’s like my eyes know it’s being tricked and does not like it at all. Also, there’s some research where people have said that extended use of 3D (especially all of the time at home) can actually be bad for you (i’ll find the link..) http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/stories/s2813511.htm
Personally, I see a lot of films being made in 3D just to get bums in seats in the cinema. While at the moment we’re getting good stuff like Coraline, Avatar and Alice in the Wonderland. But anyone remember Jaws 3D? Yeah, it’s bound to happen sooner or later. Have a look at CGI films, they’re a dime a dozen now that computing power is much cheaper…
I personally loved Avatar in 3D and I’d pay for that experience again. I totally agree about 3D as a means to sell more tickets. As far as 3D TV, I’m waiting on specs because I think it’s just a gimmick.
I, thank God, missed Jaws in 3D!
