It's still way to expensive to get this now. I checked it out at my buddies house and although impressive, I don't think it's worth its price right now.

I just got a Samsung 40" 3D LED TV for the room with 2 rechargeable 3D glasses; I'd figure I give this new fad a try.

So what to do first? I was thinking about getting a 3D Blu-ray player with some 3D DVDs, yay or nay? Also is the 3D TV programming such as ESPN 3D worth the extra $10 on my cable bill per month?

I have two tips before u start using it:

1) make sure to burn it in properly..i used an sd card with different color images and let the tv burn in by having the images displayed in short intervals...check the web.

2) after its burned in and you've watched it for a couple weeks, calibrate it. Either by a professional or based on settings you can find on the internet.

If you do those things ur plasma tv is gonna rock.

+ 1. Panasonic Plasma tv ftw. Great for gaming too

I'd say this is a gimmick item like the Wii. It's cool at first then just meh.

i'll buy one when the day comes where you don't have to wear glasses and all tv programs catches up with 3-d

ESPN 3D is not worth the extra $10 because they only have 1 game every 2-3weeks. If you have Comcast it comes free w/ the HD service. I'd but a PS3 because it will plat 3D movies as well as games, Black Ops and GT5 are great.

I saw it's worth it just cause it's 240hz and higher contrast ratio

Do you actually believe that this whole 3D fad is going to take off?

You aren't that dillusional, are you?

Just bought the same one last Friday (one with the brushed metal and glass frame). It is pretty awesome. GT5 and Black ops are awesome on it FYI!!

this is what I'm waiting for..
the glasses are like 150-200$ a piece.. so not worth it..
once they become those cheap disposable ones at the movies (which aren't uncomfortable) then I'll jump on the wagon

I enjoy 3D movies, and I don't think it is a fad, but if they don't up their game and provide one standard pair of glasses that works on all TVs, it will just be a fad.
I can see people owning their own pair and using it everywhere they go..

I've been thinking of buying one, as I fancy a new TV anyway. Is Plasma really that much better? I thought LED was the forward these days?

Personal prefrence.

LED backlit/sidelit is just the newest fad.

[Masterplan]

So if I'm in the market for buying, is LED worth the cash? Or is plasma still king?

[BRAISKI]

I have been thinking about it but for now I will wait till its better and cheaper. I just bought a 40" LCD TV last year.

It's not just preference. It comes down to refresh rate. LED's are gorgeous HD TVs with wonderful blacks and vibrant colors. However, with 3D being added to the mix the refresh rates of the LEDs are not even in the same league as a Plasma. Plasma will overtake LED and LCD tvs if 3D does rise in popularity.

Plasma will always have better picture quality than an LCD. LED is just the new hip thing to get. Heck, it's been a few years since Pioneer stopped making TVs and their Kuro is still the best on the market. Plasma is cheaper and better also nowadays image retention is almost nonexistent.

[Salespunk]

Plasma is still and always will be king when it comes to picture quality. I have an 8000 series Samsung Plasma. It has an amazing picture and the 3D is cool, but there is not enough content yet.
