i saw one at best buy yesterday and seems neat but i wouldnt really want to wear glasses all the time to watch something in 3d plus the “starter kit” is $350 which comes with 2 pairs of glasses and a movie, seems a little absurd to me. do you guys think this is really going to take off? ---

It will take off. Plus, the TVs will have both a 2D and 3D mode - a lot of the population is unable to see in 3D and they aren’t in the business of alienating customers. I’d probably wait for the second-gen units to hit before I bought one. ---

I have had a 3D tv for about 2 years now. I have never turned on that feature. ---

There was some study done saying that watching 3D movies and TV really messes with your brain. I guess to achieve the effect, it really messes with your eyes and how the brain produces the image. I guess if you are older its not that big of deal but someone who has kids should be concerned about over exposure to it. ---

Meh…I don’t think it will replace current TVs, It will be the “wii” of TVs. It will be for for a bunch of people to chill out and watch, but other than that it really serves no purpose. ---

it’s still a young technology and I agree that’s it causes eye stress currently, I experienced it during avatar also. it will get better in many ways and will be something we’ll all have probably 5-10 years from now… it’s just immature still, those calling it a fad will be picarding themselves when I bump this in a decade. ---

I think 3D gaming will be a boon for 3D TVs. That’s when it will really take off. ---

El oh el. Sync your 3d glasses? If you can’t accomplish the task of hooking up your bluray player or syncing your glasses, you need to really consider the reason you are buying a 3D tv. Lol.
