There's a Samsung 9000 tv set up at the bust boy store, and every time i go in there i stop and watch, either "asofar" or some concert with bad lighting and no color.

What's amazing is how thin the monitor is.

I would buy it in a heartbeat, only the bezel is twice the size of the screen, and it's polished silver -- very reflective and distracting, and the "name" of the manufacturer is the most important thing of all, because it's glowing brighter than the screen???

What I don't know, and can't find out, is: can I actually mount this thing on my wall without the stand, and all the wires seem to come out the back at 90 degrees, which kind of defeats the "thin" screen (if you need a 5" gap behind the thing so the wires don't kink, then I'll just get a plasma, thanks.

But to the point of the thread: the 3d.... is really horrible. First of all ... if a movie is so uninspired as to require 3d ... i'm not going to watch it anyway. Second: the effect subtracts from the experience: "oh look, the nipple-less breasts on the gigantic blue lizzard girl are even more unappealing in 3-d!"

so ... 3d has been around for 6 or 8 generations of "visual arts" ...

... and it's still not worth the effort.
