Or perhaps 3D will simply fade to something similar to laserdisk tech. All the while that special glasses are required to watch this 3D, it will never become main stream, never replace TV viewing as it is today.
I know consumer electronics/gadgets industry is a fickle one and things move on rapidly, it's a given in this day and age but sometimes it just can't be excused so easily - 3D is one of these. It is a gimmck, a prelude to something bigger, better and easier to live with.
I would save your money.
But as mentioned the latest batch of Panasonic Plasmas are 3D ready anyway and as Panasonic make some of the best plasmas on the market this is what I'd be going for. A higher specified television is needed for 3D (i.e. faster refresh etc.) but consequently this will also improve the 2D experience. Whether I'd ever actually watch any 3D stuff on it is another matter. Besides which there is more outlay than just buying the TV, you need a 3D source (BlueRay and/or Sky) and the dreaded glasses.
