I'm not a gamer, but I'll note that some people have significant problems with simulator sickness gaming with large screens anyway, add 3D to it and I bet a lot more will have issues.We have had issues in the simulations I've worked on, some people can get remarkably ill so we took to keeping a bucket next to the users when they interacted with the simulation.

I don't think 3D is that good an effect unless the screen is so large that it fills your field of view significantly, mainly in a movie theater or an IMAX place. I've seen it on small displays, and I have no inclination to get the glasses even though my TV and BluRay player support it.

And I think movies that weren't shot in 3D but adapted later do significant damage to the format, they usually suck and don't help sell the thing. I've seen the best 3D has to offer, Peter Jackson's Hobbit, filmed at 48 fps and it was the best 3D I've ever seen, none of the artifacts I see in other ones, and to be honest for me it still was a "yeah that's cool for the first 15 minutes" kind of thing. Didn't really add to the movie, actually it can detract IMO, and I usually leave a 3D movie with a headache.

I'm not a gamer and bought a 3D TV just over 1 year ago. Other than viewing for a few minutes in 3D for the novelty of it, that's been it. I've never watched a whole programme or a full movie in 3D. Before I bought the TV and experienced it properly at home, I really thought I'd dip in to it quite a bit and I was dismissive of those on this forum who forecast its demise. I've now joined their ranks and think this must be one of the most expensive technological flops since Betamax or Toshiba's HD DVD system. 

If manufacturers introduce glasses-free 3D to the market they'll have a hell of job trying to convince consumers to buy into it.

I've never watched a 3D movie outside IMAX. 

Never enjoyed the sports 3D. It looked manufactured if you know what I mean? MUCH prefer the HD channels. Just like I enjoy Blu-Ray movies. To support 3D tech I would say there is still a future in animated movies or even documentaries.

A few years ago I said 3D sports wouldn't take off. Lo and behold. It looked manufactured if you know what I mean?

I think 3D is a gimmick. It makes you buying the telly for it. But after having spend several hours, you'll get something like, seen that, done that and move on..

I also think that 3D only works properly in cinema's. And even then your mind must be "capable" of handling all the incentives. I heared (read somewhere, can't quote) that a large percentage off the audience can't handle all the perceived (visual) info. And that's causing the headache, sickness feeling.

You cannot beat a good with with surround sound and nothing else.

I watch 3D at the cinema and that's it.

Smart TV's in general I think are a waste of time. My bv7 is smart enough.

After a few weeks of my tv can do this and that I'm sure everyone will sit and watch a few soaps and films.

I only use the "smart tv" capability on my set to do Netflix streaming of shows. It works well, but I have no use for the Facebook, YouTube, or any of the other stuff. 

I agree, surround sound makes a much larger improvement in home movie watching enjoyment than 3D.
