Hi,
 
NAY for now ... I think it will be about 5 more years before the technology and the bandwidth issues get improved to allow for better services in television. It's bad enough that the number of HD channels is still very small.
The tough issue is that the equipment that films HD, and 3D, is not readily available out there and that means that most stuff that is filmed is not yet ready for those processes, not to mention that the cost of the HD cameras or the 3D cameras (and then the editing process!!!!!) has a cost these days that is prohibitive.
 
Essentially, buying something that good and that big at this time is a waste. Five years from now might make better sense ... specially if the majority of these signals get delivered as a wireless service ... but at this point, if you have cable, you are probably looking at our children's lifetime, not ours!

Wow!  I am going to have to eat some SERIOUS crow here...

So I ended up buying a Sony Smart 3D HDTV, 55W802, ($1800 on sale), and it is awesome.  AND... I learned a lot about 3D in the process.  As per every salesman I spoke to, a 3D set will yield a better picture in 2D than a plain 2D set.  So that's why I ended up with a 3D set.... in fact, it's difficult to buy a quality set that isn't 3D.

Anyway, the 3D on this set is passive (no batteries in the glasses), and it is a BLAST to watch.  So I stand corrected.  I will watch 3D!

To top it off Sony offers 1 free year of Netflix, 1 free year of HULU Plus, and 30 days of Music Unlimited with the purchase of this set.  (I got mine at Best Buy.)  (It has built-in Wi-Fi.)

I can highly recommend this TV.

I didn't talk with sales people Tony but I agree with them.

It is a great TV.

My glasses have batteries and still very light. We all wear glasses so maybe they bother
folks that don't but we put them on a it's no issue.

Congrats! If you didn't get a 3d Blu-ray DVD player...you're in for another treat when ya do. :)

 
What if you wear spectacles, do you wear the 3D glasses over the top of them?
 
I'm not sure how all this works.

Steve we've had two different brands.
The Intel that were for 3d PC went over the glasses but they were
a little smaller and heavier than Sony.
We don't have any issues with Sony glasses. Light and fit right over our eyeglasses.
 
Sorry Steve, they were NVidia not Intel.

Thanks Mike.

Yep, I suppose as long as you can get them on, even over your spectacles, they will work fine.  Mine are SUPER light... hardly know they're on.  4 pairs came with the TV.

 Sounds like you picked up really nice TV there! 
 
 I was watching TV last night for the first time in a long time. I seen a nice nature show so I started watching it. My wife says, Why is the screen double? I say, I think it's just the way the cameraman wanted to shoot the scene....duh......it was a 3d channel. 

Stephen Hawking says that the universe exists in 11 dimensions.  He showed me his TV.  After I left, I realized we had accidentally switched glasses.  I can see the space-time continuum, but it's really blurry.
