I would like to hear from someone who loves 3D and bought this TV to enjoy it 100%..How good is it?

We've had the 47KDE and love it, the 3d is good enough to make you duck sitting on the couch thinking you are about to get hit. A great feature is that all those real 3d glasses we "forgot to recycle" at the theater work with it, so we are now up to 12 pairs of glasses. Just make sure you have on a tiltable mount,so you are looking directly at the screen for the full effect. It will be a little fuzzy if you are looking at it at an angle. We mounted ours high on the wall and the 15 degrees of tilt in our mount was perfect to have it aimed down at the couch.

I play 3D movies from a Pansonic Blu-ray on this TV. It looks AWESOME to me. (But it is the only 3D TV I have ever seen in person, so I have nothing to compare it to).

I bought this TV on Black Friday Weekend at CostCo for about $650 ($100 off). The set up takes a bit to get it where you want, but is pretty easy. They have an manual on line that explains a lot. The 3D is great I think and it comes w/4 light glasses. It has three 3D modes. Here is a link for the manual so you can look at the specs for Blu-Ray: http://store.vizio.com/documents/downloads/hdtv/M3D470KDE/UM_M3D470KDE.pdf The 3D of the TV is nice and I don't recall seeing any bad reviews on it. The bad thing, is with the Netflix. The TV will pick up my Netflix account and I can 'pick' a movie - but it will never download. The reviews on this TV show this is a common problem. My Sony 3D Blu-ray player has Netflix - so I just use that, but it is false advertising on Vizio's behalf because Netflix appears not to work thru the wifi, but it looks like those who use the cable can maybe access Netflix.

Own the 55" KDE version and the 3D is simply stunning. The best part is the use of cheap theater glasses. There are different 3D patterns being broadcast on our cable system and the side by side (not top - bottom) type of broadcast is really the best. The cartoon style movies, like Yogi Bear that has scenes especially made for 3D makes you just reach out and try to grab that picnic basket! There is very little dimming with the glasses and watching in daylight in a fairly bright room is no problem at all. My daughter loves the fact that she can use here child size glasses from the movie theaters. It was so amazing I make every one that comes over take a look at the 3D with regular movie theater glasses. Own the 55" KDE version and the 3D is simply stunning.

The TV is fine. Do NOT. I repeat: DO NOT buy this or anything else on Amazon.com with the Amazon store card. The fine print is misleading and hard to figure out. I bought this set thinking I could pay it off in 6 months with no interest. Now I'm paying a BANK and it'll end up costing my well over a thousand dollars. I'm disabled, and can't do it, so I guess I lose the TV after paying for it (so I THOUGHT). Amazon needs to make it very CLEAR in the ads that you are BORROWING FROM A BANK, not paying Amazon, not paying the seller! The Bank (Synchrony) is relentless, they charge outrageous interest, and if you're late with a payment they add a 25% penalty. Real nice. Amazon is a bad place to buy. The TV is fine. Do NOT.

The depth is amazing. This tv has beautiful color. And the clarity is unreal. I have been so happy with Samsung. This is my second one. And the only reason is because my first was stolen out of my storage unit. Lol I have watched Avatar. Final destination 5. Jurrasic park. Journey to the center of the earth. Even non 3d movies are awesome. Hope this helps your decision!!!!

Not firsthand but I read a lot of reviews on 3D capable TV's and the prevalent opinion of those who have purchased such 3D TVs is that the feature improves the picture and is not high in cost. I bought my TV just a few days ago and may be able to give you a better answer soon. Hopefulskeptic

I have not used the 3d feature, but projector is good. I am using for a golf simulator, so not on the best screen, but picture looks good.

Has anyone tried this yet? Thinking of getting this tv and this info would help me decide.

This is not a 3D TV, but it is a Smart TV. But, unless you actually need or want that feature, this TV has a great picture, and for the price, you won't be dissatisfied.

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 there. I haven't used it often but what I have seen impresses me very much. I would have to agree it is Cinema quality. I like that it's a passive system so I don't need to charge the glasses or waste money on batteries. I am in no way an expert in 3D technology but it impresses a layman such as myself. The tv overall is phenomenal best tv I've ever owned, especially for blu-Ray. Happy hunting.

It is a truly amazing TV. The price is great. You will not be disappointed. It is still listed as one of the top 3 TV's at any price. I sold mine to a friend and I am regretting it because I can't find a better tv.

D. Reese,Thanks for the feedback. I more than appreciate it!I decided not to purchase the UN55B8500. I agree, 3D is worth waiting for. I saw the demo at Best Buy, and I must say, I'm pretty impressed. One a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best), I would put the 3D experience in at about a 7 or an 8. I wasn't completely blown away, however, I was impressed enough to wait until the UN55C8000. Plus, with the free 3D Starter Kit with the purchase of the 3D TV and the 3D Blu-Ray player, I really think it makes sense to go with the 3D option. The sales guy at Best Buy said the free 3D Starter Kit promotion starts on 3/21/2010, and that the UN55C8000 should be available in early April.Thanks! D. Reese,Thanks for the feedback.

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.

We just got our UNC7000 shipped yesterday from Amazon and it truly is an amazing tv, I especially like the internet widgets. But you do notice the lights (slight dim light on black background) on the edges of the tv when you're watching movies with the black border edges. It is not a very bright and distracting light and does not take anything away from the picture quality.As a side note, we weren't looking to a buy a 3d TV but were blown away by the 3d picture.

Well this is the first Tv, that has the ability to produce 2 separate images for if your playing multiplayer. Not sure how it works but sounds cool. Also the fact that it comes with all the stuff to get started, and worked on the computer. Means i don't have to buy nvidia's 3d kit which is like $200. I will probably pick this up, looks very promising.

I have the 40 inch version of this Smart TV with 3D and am quite pleased. I have not used the feature permitting the computer screen to be seen on the TV but it's there and now that my taxes are in, plan to watch movies. Also taking a Great Courses lesson on Philosophy and will watch it on TV. Had a 22" Samsung TV and it performed so well I stayed with Samsung. Bob C

It is excellent for gaming and 3D. The amount of gain on the screen is perfect if your room isn't pitch black.

Have had this tv for almost 2 years it's awesome. The only thing you need is 3D glasses recommend you spend a little extra and get a good pair
