I thought about that, but it's not really an option. If the 3D stuff was as eye popping awesome as say, SD > DVD, or DVD > HD, it'd be worth it. As it stands now, neither my wife or I were impressed enough to drastically change our living room layout. Even as a big gamer, I don't see a lot of value in it. PS3 and 360 games look amazing on the set, but the 3D effect was dimmed and more difficult to actually, you know, play. Every time I switched the games to 2D I was more impressed.
I probably shouldn't be going through this in a thread about building a 3D HTPC, though.
The problem now is picking another TV. Plasma is right out, and I'm looking at various sets in the $2k and below range, but it really seems that the 3D sets are the best sets out there. I'm looking two LG sets, one 3D and one not, and the 3D set is obviously better (especially in the 55" range), but I'm having a hard time deciding.
Again, probably not the right thread though.
