Purchased my last TV set at completely the wrong time in the tech-cycle. Happy to skip the current 3D gen - when we have 4K/3D for reasonable money then I'll upgrade (so probably never!).
I will want 3d in my next tv- but more for futureproofing than anything else.
I really want one. Have a few 3D Blu Rays, and would like to do gaming as well in 3D.
Saw Life of Pi at the cinema, for me the best use of 3D yet. Felt completely natural, and immersive. Exactly what I wanted from 3D. Would love to view at home.
I have a 3D tv and have tried to watch it but cant last more than 15mins before the headache sets in....... so 3D at the moment is not for me
Good 3D isn't about pop out in my opinion, it's just about depth. The best films I have seen in 3D almost make you forget you're watching in 3D, and suck you into the film by adding subtle depth, such as Prometheus. I love the fact that it makes the actual screen appear to dissapear and you look 'into' the picture, rather than 'at' it.
I still think that POP effect is what was done with the first red/green 3D films.

Surely its about depth and POP in the right places?
Some content naturally lends itself to depth and some lends itself to POP out. In my opinion.
Nobody wants things flying constantly into their face, but I think certain pop out can really enhance films. Like for example in Hugo when people lean into the camera, it gives you a real feel of personal space and that being invaded.
And horror films and cartoons, pop out can really enhance the viewing of those in 3d.
