I hear ya. The last TV we bought has 3D capability as it was becoming harder to find 'higher-end' sets w/o 3D. We watched a couple 3D Blu-Ray discs and that was it. It was a fun 'gimmick' for brief while. ;-)

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.
I've seen some demos in the store, and wasn't overly impressed.
I've got a Panny ZT and an Oppo 103, both capable of decent active 3D. Unfortunately, my wife and I wear glasses, and those 3D glasses are less than joyous over top of them. I'm also hesitant due to the medical warnings.

I can see that wearing glasses might affect the enjoyment. My wife and I don't need to wear glasses to watch TV since we went from our 27" Trinitron to the 55" Samsung.
I will emphasize again, that the room needs to be fairly dark (well after sunset) for the 3D to shine. It's not very impressive when the room is well lit, like in a showroom. We'll agree to disagree on this one. We didn't buy our model TV for the 3D because I thought it would be a poor representation of what we would see in a theater, but I was wrong and glad that we got the technology. My wife and I highly recommend it, at least Samsung's version.
