Will you be buying into 3d

[Anonymous]

No, For the simple reason that its ridiculously expensive. I've had a demo on a Panasonic Plasma and the glasses are cumbersome and uncomfortable and detract from the overall viewing experience. Which is nice, but certainly not as awe inspiring as the ads make out.

I also had a demo on a Samsung Led 3d telly and that was astonishing. Barely noticed the glasses, the picture and whole experience was just like nothing I have seen before and if I was loaded, had no mortgage and could afford to fritter away a few grand on a new toy, then I'd buy one tomorrow.

Yes I'll look like a complete idiot, but I can always close the curtains.

If you are comfortable and you feel it is an enhanced experience I think the foolish person is the one who cares what they look like in their own home sat on the sofa no?

3D is just a gimick ... here and now because of the movies ..... NO ONE would want to wear specks to watch tv , that'd be plain stupid.

It's a passing phase and those with money to 'burn' will maybe entertain it ... but normal folks won't.

Completely disagree. I've been to see a number of 3D films at the cinema and not once did I feel stupid of uncomfortable. Just like HDTV's from 5 years back, early adopters will pay the premium and as development and production costs go down, it'll be more accessible to the rest of us. As I said in a previous post though, the content (TV, Blu-ray and games-wise) will take time to arrive so indulging in 3D at the moment is not a wise move. In 3 years time, maybe. Just not now.
