I buy what I want -- not what the CE companies tell me I need. Whether the component I purchase has 3D capability or not will be immaterial because it won't be used.

  That 72" Vizio LED LCD has me interested ($3500 MSRP). If I get it, I'd also add a video processor (DVDO Edge, should be able to get one around $500 by then). And no, even though the Vizio is 3D capable, I won't be using the feature (all video would go through the DVDO Edge, which has no 3D support). So there's a possible $4k expenditure without 3D consideration.
  
  If the Vizio turns out to be a turd, I will probably get a 65" Panasonic plasma from their broadcast division. I highly doubt there will be 3D support for these models, but it won't matter anyway if I get the above video processor (no 3D support).

    As you seem to be asking, I am someone who wants to replace his current display. Actually, the current one will just move into the bedroom and replace the current 42" plasma that's there now. The primary display I'm using now is a Panasonic TH-50PHD6UY (50", 1366x768, broadcast model, purchased in February 2004). And similar to what Grant says below: I am not anti-3D, but I am not pro-3D either. I just want the best 2D image that current technology can deliver to my eyes. As for videophile status, since I own calibration equipment/software and delve into my display's Service Menu, the answer is probably "yes".
