is 3d better than when this came out or is it pretty much the same across all other brands/year of other models? is there a better 3dtv as of today?

I haven't seen a brand new 3D for this year. The ones I have seen are a couple years old, but with this one its great quality and you don't need powered glasses like some other models. However normal HD bounces btw 720/1080 and is not Always without the 'streaky blur'. If mainly 3D viewing, I say it's worth it, if u can handle a few glitches-but can maybe be repaired with the perfect settings.

We have been very happy with ours. Had it a year. The picture is very crisp. Do not use the 3D very much as it takes 3 hours to charge the glasses, although when we have used it, it looks pretty good.We did have a small issue when we first received the tv, but it was repaired within a week. In our experience their customer service was great.

The 3D is just as good, if not better, than what you see in theaters. We actually stopped going to see movies in the theater because the quality of the projector made our home theater much better and more comfortable.

I'm not a 3D expert as I've only seen a few movies in 3D. Based on other 3D movies I've seen the pop out and depth is excellent on this TV. It feels like you can reach out and touch objects because it appears so realistic. I've not watched any 3D movies with this TV, just downloaded movies.

Hi,I ended up going with the LG 50PX950 plasma, this is my first plasma and so far I really like it.I haven't been able to try the 3d yet, as my glasses were on back order and finally shipped yesterday.Like I previously mentioned, I really did like this TV except for the ghosting issues.

I found the 3D depth effect to be good - just as good as any TV I've tried, or seen in the store. I watched an IMAX movie on it, plus saw parts of Avatar (for testing) before I returned the TV. From what I've seen, all 3D televisions are capable of producing equal depth effect... its more the differences in the movies that cause a perceived difference in depth or pop-out. The most impressed I ever was with the 3D pop-out on this Samsung TV was in the store where they were running a demo disc where a bunch of people were throwing food around. If course, you are unlikely to see such pop-out in a movie... at least not much of it, as it would probably become kinda hard to watch after a while.

This is one feature of the TV that I have not used in a while. I personally think that it is just a novelty. I still have the 55" TV I bought and it is still working fine. I chose the passive 3d because you can use the glasses from the 3d movies you would watch in theaters. The active 3d shutter glasses are expensive and needs to be recharged.

Sony's simulated 3d is the 2d to 3d conversion. The conversion is OK. It gives a little depth to what your watching on the TV. Obviously the REAL 3d works a whole lot better.

I have heard that projection TVs are best for the 3D effect. Do you know if it's true? The price of this one is amazing and I know there is a bulb that needs replaced after like 5 or 6,000 hours, but if you only use it for an occasional 3D movie or game, it should last quite a while.

If you have the money, this one is the better market value. I see other's buying the higher priced ones and are complaining already.I love the 3d on my Tv and I plan on keeping it for a while. You will see for the price you didnt make a mistake.

Any update on this? I'm looking to buy this unit too but want to be able to watch 3D movies on it.

I only evaluated to models with 3D; the Sharp and the Samsung UN75F6400. I thought they were very comparable in 3D mode and the price difference was obviously substantial, even though the Samsung is a 75-inch. I purchased the 70-inch Sharp in early August and we have watched a half-dozen movies in 3D since we received it and our family has been thoroughly impressed. Some movies, like Avatar, have some shadowing and clarity issues in the background imaging, but I was the only one of our family who really noticed it; probably because I was looking hard to evaluate the entire picture. The 3D features along with the internet / video streaming capability have been very good so far.

Jonathan,Which model did you end up going with? I was super interested in this TV, but it apparently doesn't support 1080i, which is no good for my Xbox 360. Also, does anyone know what the difference is between the older model (32HL67) and this one (32HL67U, "U" indicating a newer iteration)?

I have this model. One of the best models for 2011, might I add. I purchased 2 of them from here. This model does not have a web browser, but it does have 2d to 3d conversion. The 2d to 3d conversion is quite nicely done too. One of the best actually with that feature. No 2012. 2013, or 2014 models have 2d to 3d conversion either. In my opinion, that alone makes it better than all the newer Samsung players. There is a lot of nice apps too including youtube and a lot of cool games built in. It also has built in on board memory, and component video, if you need it.

Just got mine today @ BB for $2K with no tax and 36 months same as cash. Picture looks great. Finally had to retire my 10yr old Pioneer 58" RPTV as we were at its mercy as to when we got to watch it. Decided not to pay the premium for 3D. Had my eye on this set for about 6 months. Just happened to get serious about it and they happened to have one in stock locally. Now I've got to get a Blue Ray player. Cox HD is looking great right now though. Calibration came free with it as well. We'll see in a couple months whether that is worth anything.

I haven't watched 3d on my Sharp but I hv watched it on my Sony and I am now a 3d fan, so is my 19 yr old son. He initially thought it was a waste of money then I had him watch a nature show in 3d and he was hooked (let me emphasize, it was a nature documentary and he was mesmerized). So I would say yes to 3d.
