3D TV, Should I buy it?

This article is not about which 3D TV is the best, which has the best picture and which TV is the best buy.  This article is about why I think 3D TV is a gimmick and why I don't think it will take off.   3D TV and movies have been around for ages.  They come and they go. The technology has gotten marginally better.  3D works because your eyes recieve two different pictures slightly out of sync and your brain puts them back together again and it results in a three dimensional effect.  This effect will always require you to wear kooky glasses.  The glasses are VERY expensive - for now - and I am afraid that is reason one as to why the 3D experience won't take off - we all look funny in weird glasses.  Some of the glasses I've seen should come with a funny moustache attached.  You'll never be able to enjoy a movie shot in 3D without the glasses.  Lose or sit on the glasses and break them and your DVD or movie becomes useless.  (I am sure they'll box DVD's with both formats as they do now for Blu-ray movies.)  For my money, Blu-Ray DVD is the better experience and you don't need glasses.  Reason two - our brains are just too smart for their own good (well most of us anyway). Because of the way your brain works, the 3D effect is minimized after the first few minutes of watching.  Sure, the picture is still in simulated 3D, but our brains have a tendency to minimize and adjust for the effect soon after watching. Don't get suckered in in the showroom.  Watch for about 15 minutes, no matter how long the line is behind you to try it. After about 10, you'll strain to see the 3d effect and you'll then begin to get a headache.  Frustrating for me, at a 3D movie, which usually costs significantly more at the ticket booth, this desensitization usually occurs right around after the credits finish rolling.  Usually not worth the extra price of admission for me.  This brings me to reason three, size does matter.  In the movies, a larger than life movie does, in fact, appear to leap off the screen.  48 Inch LCD at home from 15 feet away, not so much.  So in summary, glasses make us look kooky,  our brains are just too smart and size does matter.  Here's the meaty take away for now.  NON-3d flat screens have been way overproduced and there are 3D versions out, or coming out which would make the TV's now in the supply chain, obsolete.  Not so fast, this results in great prices right now on non 3D TV's.  Buy yourself a bigger nicer, non-3D TV for less money.  I would even opt for a Samsung or other internet connectable tv as very soon Apple, Google, Netflix and Hulu will be delivering our content, not Time Warner or Comcast.  That's my recommended cut -o- beef for now.

rates 3D TV a big "Rare" - steer clear.
