RE: Not much

I think the quality of the 3D experience depends on how well the movie was done and on the 3D capability of the BlueRay player and/or receiver and the HDTV. When I bought my Samsung a few weeks ago, the sales person said that my TV had active 3D while his older set had a passive system. I didn't know what he was talking about until I got home and unpacked the set. There were a couple of pair of battery powered glasses that required syncing to the TV.

Waiting until it got dark for the best effect, we watched our first 3D home movie, Avatar. It was quite amazing, every bit as good as when we saw the movie in 3D at the theater. No wierdness, just pure enjoyment.

We aren't 3D geeks yet as there are very few movies we even wanted to see in 3D at the theater. Most of the time we go to the regular shows, so our collection of BlueRay 3D movies will remain small, reserved for the best of the best.

I would check out the newer active systems if you haven't already, because they are quite impressive.
