This is true to a point, Yes 3D tv’s aren’t what they are cracked up to be, but than again they are. Now I am sure you are scratching your head here, let me explain. A 3D TV has faster processors and better picture resolution so you do get a great TV with 3D but, the best thing to do when deciding to buy a 3D vs. Full HD is simple answer this. For a 3D TV, 1. Where you want the TV is it or can you make it 100% dark. (Dark is needed in order for a 3D effect to work properly, note the 3D setups in you local electronics store they are not to good) 2. Are you willing/able to keep up with the special 3D glasses. (Kids will break them, loose them, dogs will chew them, and more they are expensive for a pair or 2 Samsung rechargeable glasses retail around $100 - $150 and go up from there) 3. A 3D TV will require you to pay more for the special 3D movies and TV packages. (Paying more now is that really a smart idea?) For a basic FULL HDTV, 1. Works great with any TV package from basic to advanced 2. Has a great picture quality. (it is still recommended you have a dark area for watching, but is not needed for optimal picture quality) 3. Longer life than a 3D. (3D TV‘s last estimated 1,500 - 2,500 hours, Full HDTV can last estimated 3,000 - 7,000 hours and of course no matter the TV the better the environment such as a dust free house if that even exists will also help, more moist or salty environments such as Seattle or Florida that will also cut the life a bit, there are a few studies that show warmer homes cut the life of appliances by about 10% and cooler homes tend to have more older appliances this is not really hard facts but defiantly something to think about.) Just remember to keep your eyes open, there are new deals out there daily and never be sold BEFORE you do some research, also Consumer Reports did a study a while back and found a company whose sales people work on commission tend to have larger per person sales such as talking you into that new Blu-Ray player or making you think you need a $200 table or wall mount. BUYER BEWARE is all I can say. I own a large electronics retail company http://www.tronicsconnection.com/ so I know all the tricks companies try, we here at Tronics Connection are trying to but slowly weeding them out. Thanks for reading, Hope my advices proves helpful, Please let me know what you think or if you have questions just ask J Matthew Lalley CEO / Founder Tronics Connection
