I just got my first television in about eight years (if I discount that little 18” LED television my wife has...)

I got one of the Samsung 8000 series, 55”. It sure looks nice, and I watched a 3D movie and was surprised at how good it was. I completely didn’t expect that.

Thanks to everyone on this list who gave me advice...much of it turned out to be very good and educational.

Connected TV's are great until you run up against the monthly download caps imposed by most Internet Service Providers. Also, unless you have a really fast broadband connection (at least eight megabits/second), watching videos from NetFlix, Amazon Video On-Demand and VuDu can be an unpleasant experience with a lot of stuttering and not-so-great quality video.

When the concept of 3DTV first showed up, I posted here that there would be insufficient demand to sustain it.

I recently purchased a 3D TV with vizio internet apps. While I am keeping cable for now, with vudu, hulu, netflix streaming, amazon instant, blockbuster, etc the connected bit is interesting and I have rented a couple 3D movies so far. Right now, only vudu has 3D rentals but I am sure that will change. Cable in my area has a decent amount of 3D content as well.
