Maybe because I've never actually seen 3D in action I'm hesitant about purchasing future new 3D AV gear. Can anyone tell me what I'm (will be) missing?
Why 3D?

Overrated and not worth it if you ask me. Until they get rid of the glasses its going to be very limited in popularity me thinks
Heard they'll be re-screening AVATAR 3D all over again in 3D theatres only, again ... sounds like deja vu-doo. A rerun already, in the same release year. Scam?

They re-exhibit the movie, you choose whether or not to go and see it, or indeed go and see it again. Hardly a scam...

It does have a whole extra 9 minutes off never before seen footage! That should have them scrambling to the nearest multi-plex!
You would do well to get a tv with 3d on it to future-proof yourself if ur upgrading from a fairly old tv. But I wouldnt upgrade from a 2-3 year old tv just to have it.
I know theres a lot of nay-sayers on this forum - but I like the 3d films/games that I have (thats only 3 films and 4 games mind !)
The 2d to 3d conversion feature is also quite good - I like watching live football with it on - it adds depth to the picture (though its not the same as watching a proper 3d broadcast). Having said that the 2d-3d conversion can get tiring on the eyes after a couple of hours so I dont think u sit and watch a whole days viewing in 3d.
Other examples I prefer watching Avatar or playing Modern Warefare 2 with the conversion feature on.
I had to upgrade as my old tv went pop - but I dont regret paying the extra for a very nice tv with 3d as a bonus.

I have to admit to being all for this 3d malarkey - and as and when I can afford to, will be upgrading yet again......
... and me, I was looking to upgrade to a 50" and will choose one that is 3D capable. I have seen a few TV demos and they look promising. Movies and football I think will be good.
Have just upgraded to an Onkyo TX-SR608 and a Sony BDP-S570 that are both 3D ready so 2 thirds of the way there i.e. ................ still 2D LOL

All it's done for me is decide to wait another 12-18 months to see if it improves as every 3D screen I've seen has a horrendous flicker when watching 3D content.
I am in the anti 3D camp. It just seems pointless to me, dont like it at the cinema!! Also, when you invite some friends over for a movie, you'l always have to say 'don't forget ya glasses' and someone always will!! Also noticed, TVs are saying 3D ready, does that mean when we've all got 1, they will bring out ''Full 3D''...................
Yeah, and they say we wouldn't need them in five years but how do we see the action popping out of the screen without. I can't seem to configure my mind on the pix actually popping out at instances/ or at demand now this is a query.
I'll be getting a new amp soon and I'll be making sure thats 3D-ready, but I remain to be convinced I'll need it, I've yet to see any 3D images that don't look plastic. The whole thing seems more of a gimmick side show rather than a next-gen format, although that's not to say it won't catch on...
That said, I'd love to see some F1 onboard in 3D, or pretty much any motorsport I guess...

Toshiba are planning to release 'no glasses' 3D TV by the end of the year.... so they claim.

So how will a TV present 3D effect without glasses? Virtual 3D? You have to don 1 to have working 3D special effects even in theaters. So what's the catch?

It said the TVs send different images at various angles to create an illusion within a viewer's brain of dimension and depth, and watching the 3-D images will not be tiring on the eyes.
