Never did like having to wear those glasses
3D TV can be awesome but it is a very good idea to go to a TV center and try it out for your self.
I have watched some sport matches, Soccer and Tennis in 3D as well as some short movies. At that time i decided not to go for it as those shutter glasses are both heavy, cause crosstalk and are very fatiguing for the eyes. Even at those high 400HZ TVs. After 30 min or so i was done with it.
My preference goes to passive 3D TV systems. Maybe you get a slightly less sharper image, but it works very well both with games and movies and is similar to the system used in the 3D Cinema. In addition to that the glasses are much cooler, lighter and you can choose from a wider variety. If you want some additional glasses, they are relatively cheap in comparison to the active shutter glasses.
Funny thing is that TDU2 works very well in 3D. Galop1n, the dev who worked on that did a very good job.
As long as there is no wide support for these TVs other than some test documentaries on Astra or the incidental sport broadcast, it will only be useful if you will play a lot of 3D Blurays or play 3D games.
The good thing about those 3D TVs is that the 2D image quality is usually top notch, with high refresh rates and a very smooth image.
In the end personal preference is the key. If you have the money and want the option, go for it.
My next TV will be 3D, but also 4K and with passive glasses.
Will be a while before i buy it... [robs bank emo]
