Finally got a chance to check out some 3D sets yesterday and today. The first one I saw, yesterday, was a Samsung. I cam away feeling less than impressed, and honestly with a slight headache. Being my first experience with 3D, I felt as many here felt. It is a fad that will fade out again, and nothing I would consider as a plus when upgrading.
Well, this morning, the wife and I were killing time and had to run by Best Buy again (different store though). We went by the TVs (like I always do) and they had two sets set up. The samsung like I had seen at the other Best Buy, and a Panasonic. I figured I would check out the Panny, and I have to say....WOW. I was really, really impressed. I am not sure what the difference is in methods that the two use, or if the sammy was simply not set up right at the other store, but it was night and day.
They had several clips playing, one of the grand canyon which was spectacular, and the one that really got my attention, white water rafting. I swear when the boat splashed down, and the water sprayed back it literally looked like the water was hitting the glasses I had on.
I have to say, the second experience changed my opinion on 3D and the sets in general. Now I do consider it to be a plus if I upgrade later.
I still wont just go out and buy one, I have bought two sets in the last year and a half already, and probably wouldnt want to watch everything in 3d (even if it were an option), but for some content (movies and sports) it would seem, from my limited exposure, to be a huge draw.
