lol, yeah, i was only ever going to buy a 3D tv if the prices lowered to the point that it made sense. i have quite a few blu-ray 3D discs that i'll probably never watch. i think it'd be a nice feature to have, but you're right, i'd probably only ever use it a few times.
i've been looking around for TV's for a while now. my current tv has a problem.. when i turn it on, a thin line appears going horizontal across the top part of the screen, but when i quickly turn it off and turn it back on, it goes away. but, if i were to turn it off again, then turn it back on, it'll come back. once the tv is off, it needs to rest for about an hour before turning it on, off, then on again will take the line away. lol... i assumed it was a dead pixel creating the line, but i don't know why it would go away when doing what i described.
anyways, the next tv i get will probably be a samsung since that's what i've grown accustomed to, and this tv has lasted quite a while. my sweet spot is 50", i want something that takes up the same amount of space that my current tv does. the screen is like 43" but the entire tv itself is 50". and preferably i'd like it to have the ability to swivel. that comes in very handy for me. i'll be happy with anything 1080p.
wow, this is way off topic lol. as for the 45's release.. just comparing it to ultron prime.. ultron prime was released on april 20th i believe, and i don't believe it's been shipped yet. but if it had started shipping today that would be 6 weeks. so, i don't think we'll see the 45 until the end of june. bummer.
