huh, I only saw the samsung one and I thought it was pretty good. Maybe my perception was just overzealous because I was seeing it for the first timeI think it still needs a little bit of work, but out of the three 3DTVs I've seen, I'd rate them like this:
1. Panasonic
2. Sony
3. Samsung
NVIDIATI
I was pretty impressed. I've rarely seen 3D material otherwise, so this first time seeing a 3DTV was cool. I just saw Toy Story 3 in 3D today, and the 3D used in the theatre took me a while to get used to (the movie was great though :)). The TV (a Samsung) only took 5 seconds to get used to. However, I wasn't completely satisfied with the flicker. It wasn't too bad, but having an eye for these things, I noticed it. This will improve over time though.
I don't like the nay-sayers that say it's just a gimmick.I like 3D. I think gaming will benefit from having an optional 3D feature in games. I don't think it'll help gameplay in FPSs or anything, but it'll be a huge just in immersion. Not on the level as the jump from 2D graphics to 3D, but still a nice feature that will definitely really put you in the game, at least more so than before.
When 3DTVs get cheaper, that's when it'll really take off. When you can get a 46" set for $1500, that's when the average consumer will jump on it. This will take some time, but I think by 2013, these prices will be possible. Then, when more than 20% of the market has a 3DTV (and that number is rapidly growing), that's around the time when the next generation of home consoles will be released with 3D. Nintendo has stated they will support 3D when more people have a 3DTV, so it'll be no surprise when their next console supports it.
As long as 3D is optional, where movies and games keep the option for 2D, I welcome this great technology into our living rooms.

huh, I only saw the samsung one and I thought it was pretty good. Maybe my perception was just overzealous because I was seeing it for the first time The Samsung looks like you are watching it through sunglasses, and will totally black out if you tilt your head more than 90 degrees. The Panasonic compensates by making a brighter image when 3d mode is on, so it looks better. Less ghosting too, and you can watch it while lying down on the couch with your head sideways, something the LCD versions can't do. The only advantage over the Samsung as far as I can tell is that it will take 2D content and simulate 3D content, but considering that I care most about picture quality, the Panasonic was the TV I decided to buy. Just go to Best Buy and look at it... it's amazing.I was pretty impressed. I've rarely seen 3D material otherwise, so this first time seeing a 3DTV was cool.

You can get a 50" mitsubishi DLP for under $1500 right now. I don't want a DLP, but I'm just sayin'.3D is a complete joke at the moment, when Nintendo start making TV's, or someone implements the 3DS technology into TV's, then it will "take-off". Until then, I'm not wearing glasses for 6 hours while I game or watch TV.
I'll stick to 2D.
Have you seen the Panasonic demo at Best Buy? Or are you just a bespectacled and averse to the idea of wearing 2 pairs of glasses simultaneously?[QUOTE="GTR12"]Have you seen the Panasonic demo at Best Buy?

Well we don't have bestbuy in Australia, but I have seen all those TV's listed. I cannot wear those 3D glasses all the time while gaming or watching TV. For watching the world cup in 3D, its not bad, only 90 mins, but my eyes and head would definetly hurt for extended periods.
Bring on auto-stereoscopic 3D.
