Shared on Wed, 08/24/2011 - 20:53A year ago I was completely against the overpriced 3D technology, since it was still relatively premature and felt like a fad. This weekend, though, I was in Sams Club and noticed the price of 3DTV's has dropped pretty drastically over the last year. A full HD, 47 inch 3DTV, glasses, and a wall mount for under $1000. I did a bit of research online and found that the TV is rated very positively for that price.
Since the baby was born almost 3 months ago I haven't been doing any gaming whatsoever but still watch movies quite a bit. There's quite a bit more 3D than there was a year ago so the new price point has really piqued my interest.
Right now I have a huge rear projection TV. The thing is massive, the light guns aren't aligned correctly, part of the gasket around the screen is hanging into the top 4 inches of the picture, and it sucks up insane amounts of electricity. But it does what it's supposed to do and for that reason, I can't complain. But the drastically lower prices of 3DTV have me leaning toward ditching it.
So my question for you, the 4 people who read my blog, is this: Do you have a 3D TV?
Actually, here's the $64,000 question: Do you actually use the 3D on your TV? Or did you use it for the first week and now only watch regular HD stuff? Also, is there any cable programming to merit the use of the TV, or would I need to keep shelling out $40 for 3D Blu-Rays?
I tend to overthink things and I also have buyers remorse for every single purchase I make over $100. Website reviews are helpful, but I really want to hear from actual human beings with 3DTV's about their real life use of their TV.
