I am still a SD viewer. Been using a projection TV for years and now the quality is fading. Maybe it is time to move on with the latest tech.
But should I get a HDTV or wait for 3DTVs to mature? Not in a hurry for a new TV though.

Just get a HD TV.
3D HD TVs are still pricey. 3D glasses that come with them also pricey. Some of the 3D glasses batteries don't last long.. I.E. Sony ones only last 8 hours...
I found that if I watched 3D in a room with lights, I don't feel dizzy.. some shows, if watch in a dark room, I'd feel dizzy...maybe you guys who feel dizzy can try viewing them again in a lighted room?

i think it also depends on your viewing style... i also like to try 3D TV... havent tried it yet... maybe going to try today in one utama...
but from what i can see... i like to lie down and move a lot during watching tv or movies or even playing games... so to me wearing 3d glasses while do all this not so convenient to me...
so i vote for hdtv... anyway its still up to your preference...

I go for 3D, the price different is not much between the two, (if your compare the Samsung Series 7 to Samsung series 7 3D TV) the 3D TV can also play 2D, don't regret like me bought the 2D HDTV last year now want 3D TV cost another 13K to buy one. It's better off getting one which can pay 2D picture in 3D so all your Astro HD programme will be play in 3D. Try to view the 3D movies on Tv you will appreciate the picture.

I've checked the sony 3d tvs. They played some sample videos which looked great but I dont know how movies would look, I mean watching for like two hours straight with that glasses. I guess sports would fantastic though. And i doubt we would get any 3d content from astro soon as they have just introduced HD. Blu-rays are freaking expensive.  I heard that 3dtvs without glasses would be coming in the not so distant future. Just dont know when.

3D is fantastic. I feel PQ 3D on HDTV is more stunning than cinema. But it still expensive. The cheapest one is samsung series 7 46" RM8999.
Todays a lot if movie came with 3D.

Well, 3D has just been introduced and all the diff companies has their own brand of "glasses". I say the technology is still in its Guinea Pig stage, unlike the LCD, Plasma and even LED technology (Don't be fooled, LED IS LCD, just with different back light. A real LED would have no back light but supported by individual LEDs on each pixel. Sadly this technology is still to far more expensive to be done) Your best bet, minus 3D is getting a LED TV with local dimming, unlike the edge lit. You can google and see what a huge difference these two makes  .

HD LCD does mean got 3D one, but most if not all 3D LCD now are HD one. . . for now you need to pay around 25%-35% more to get the extra 3D function, if money does matter then 3D is not for you. . .

And long term effect, nobody can tell yet. Until maybe 20 years later when it's too late and your eyes has pop out of your sockets. By then SONY will remove their products from the line up...but too late for you.... TS: HD is the way to go. 3D is just a fad.

3D TV is still in its infancy. Consumers can expect to see more improvements/innovations to b rolled out. IMHO, watching 3D stuff over a 40" is NOT exciting at all. So unless you have a lot o mullah, go for HD.
Note also that to play 3D contents, you'd need to invest in a 3D BD player too...more mullah! Besides, 3D contents are somewhat limited while HD ones are in abundance

They are supposed to have much more better picture quality compared to plasmas or lcds. Some mobile devices are already using this tech. Samsung and Sony are already on it. The screens are much thinner too. Maybe I should just wait for these babes to come. The tech might be out by end of this year I read.

I saw that price (RM8999) at astroview magazine. Quiet weird why electronic company more focus on 3D LED than 3D LCD? 3D LCD TV should be cheaper compare to LED.

If you have a PS3, I recommend you to get a 3D TV. There will be games that supports the feature and the console will be able to play 3D blu-ray DVDs when it receives the firmware update that enables it.
3D features in TV's right now are primarily meant for 2-4 hours of usage per session. Pretty much the average timespan you spend watching movies and play games. If you feel uncomfortable after that, you can always turn off the feature and play 2D.
Ultimately, you gotta go test it first before you decide. Some people can stand watching 3D through glasses for hours, some can't.

I'd like to think this 3D thinggy just a gimmick as will passed on.. As a person who's wearing glasses.. I'm yet to try a comfortable 3D glasses get nausea after long period of time.. Until they get it right (which might take a long time).. i say safe bet now to go with the best of HD can offer now.
