My father has a 3D TV and I must admit I am very impressed. It's a high end Sony one and I think they are starting to "get there".
The animated movies are brilliant, clear and crisp in quality. Normal 3D films, are fine to watch - but I don't see the point really.
However, I was extremely impressed with the ability to "switch" to 3D. BBC were showing Wimbledon in 3D and I was impressed with the quality. It's not so much about things jumping out at you, it's more about the depth of field.
On the other hand, gaming is great in 3D too. Gran Turisom and MotorStorm are two great games in 3D (especially when playing against your mates).
That being said, I'm in no rush to jump out and get one whilst the prices are so high, once the technology has settled down a bit, I'm sure prices will drop.
