I admit it, I like having the latest technology when it comes to my TV ... not always the smartest decision out there! Especially since it seems like they release new TV capabilities as often as new cell phones are released ... which is all the time!

I'm really intrigued by the future of 3D TV - especially with so many cable/satellite companies releasing intentions of having 3D stations, and sports in 3D ... just wow!! I think for now I could handle wearing some bulky glasses for selected programming/movies.

The biggest question is ... is it worth dropping the money now, or do I wait 3 months, 6 months to see what other products hit the market?

Hi Steve and welcome to the forums

Personally, I'd hang on a few months to get a wider selection of products. 3D TVs are only just starting to hit the market at the consumer end, so waiting just a little bit longer should let you make your purchase with all of the major players having a 3D TV out there - increasing price competition and allowing you to have a wider range of choice.

Of course, holding on before making any tech purchase will nearly always result in something better (so some people delay indefinitely ), but in this case I really would hold on just a tiny bit longer so you make sure you can get a 3D TV that suits you .

Is 3D content available in you area already?

Thanks for the welcome! I researched a bit in my area, and it seems that the full stations are hitting in about a month and a half.

Still plenty of time to do my research and find just the right television for me, and give the other names out there a chance to produce something.

I've been doing a lot of reading up on what is available - and it seems some companies are already selling more than they expected.

Well, I think you should wait for a couple of months as technology will just get better in coming times. I hope you could afford to wait for at least 2 months as we are expecting some more advancements in the field of 3D tv..
