3D tv
I'm going to buy a new tv in the next couple of weeks and I'm strongly considering going 3D. I know that I'll want a passive set since I've tried both and can't stand active.
My question is, who among you has already drunk the 3D Kool-Aid? Was it worth it? How often do you really use it? Also, which one do you have?
I bought an LG 47LW5600 passive 3D last November. It's a great TV and looks amazing, but if you didn't like active 3D I don't think you'll like the passive much better. I tried the 3D out for a week or two then put the glasses away. I haven't watched anything in 3D since December.
I don't think I'd recommend paying anything extra for 3D unless you love it and just can't get enough of it in the theater.
I got this tv just a couple of weeks ago and its amazing, best money I ever spent.

The kids love the 3d, but its ok for me. If you have kids then pay the extra for 3d, otherwise I wouldn't
Whoa. That's way too big for my humble tv room. I may go as big as 47" but 42" is a good sweet spot for the size of the room. I wish I could get a top end 3D tv without the added cost of all the web apps. I don't use them and hate to spend money on tech I won't use.
Yeah, the Samsung webapps, etc... are shit but it is cool streaming Netflix right from the tv versus through xbox, etc...
I have a 65" Magnavox 3D DLP TV, and really like it. The channels on DirecTV are ok, but the games on PS3 (esp. Uncharted 3) are pretty cool. I need to check out movies yet - just bought Captain America and Thor in 3D on sale a couple of weeks ago. I haven't tried any Xbox games in 3D yet.
