I want a 60" 3-d tv. Now or wait?

[Blu Tiger]

I haven't been keeping up with 3-D technology, but I know I'm eventually going to get one. I don't know what generation of 3-D tv's are even out.

My question is, do you think I should get one now or should I wait for 3rd or 4th generation? I welcome your opinion. Thanks!

3D is pretty cool, but clearly in its infant stages.

My suggestion to you is as follows:

- If you want to be an early adopter or really want to experience 3D, by all means go for it, but realize there will most likely be a lot of improvements in the next 2 years or so, so your set *may* get outdated really fast.

- Or, if you are looking to upgrade your TV anyway, for instance if you want a bigger set, then maybe consider paying a few bucks more and get a 3D ready TV.

I personally was looking for a 55inch set (not necessarily with 3D) to replace my 50inch Panasonic, which I would then move downstairs to replace my 42 panasonic there, which in turn would then be used to replace my 32 inch in the bedroom.

Anyway, I found a good deal online on a Sony Bravia, 3D ($1899 for the KDL-55HX800, with transmitter, two goggles and blu-ray player) and decided to jump on it. Even for a 2D Bravia TV, that is a relatively good price.

As I said, I suspect that TV to be obsolete in the next 2 - 3 years as 3D is concerned, but will buy a new set then to replace it, and do the whole TV shuffle thing all over again, kicking out the 32inch.

If you want one, go get one. I debated wether to go 3d or not, but I ended up getting the Panasonic TC-P65VT25 and I love it so far. I've had it for a couple days now. I had a Samsung PN58B860 tv that I'm selling now. That was a great tv, but I wanted to go to at least 63" and the Panasonic VT25 series has been rated the best, so that's what I chose. The suggested retail on the tv is $4200, and my local HHGREGG had it on sale for $3699. The free blu-ray and starter kit was for each model up to the 58", but I talked them into throwing all that in and an hdmi cable for $3699 and they did.

I would be very cautious if I were you, that price is too good to be true......usually online retailers which offer those kind of prices are usually scam sites from New York.
