Should I wait a few more weeks when the new 2011 3D TVS come out? Is it worth the wait?

Every year it seems like tvs are put on sale for a huge discount right after the super bowl ends. Then new TVs comes out a couple months later. If you wait and get the new model when it first comes out, you will be paying the $3500+ for it. TVs in Feb are heavily discounted to get rid of them before the new ones come out. It is possible the price will drop a little more before, also possible they will sell out of them, or raise the price if inventory gets low. As for better, every year they come out with better and most of the time it isn't even noticeable. Like when they came out with 240hz tvs, which had 0 noticeable difference. The 3D might get a little better, but truth is that in 4/5 years or less they will have them that don't require glasses. When that happens, I'm sure we all will need new movies, players, etc. I'm personally not a big 3D fan anyway. Avatar is the only movie it actually helped the movie.

I haven't got any 3D glasses yet. I honestly don't have any idea yet. But, I like the TV and very satisfied with it. Thanks & good luck with your future purchase.

I believe so. I wanted to do about the same thing since I am a 3D developer. But when I ordered it, Amazon came back with it was out of stock and NO Estimated Date of Delivery. So I had to downgrade and get the 5.1 version.

Give it time, companies will have high prices if they are the only competition, once more companies come out with their 3d tvs it will be a price war. This is why I am waiting but I do like Samsung's technology the best for turning 2d into 3d that is neat, especially for video games.

I also ordered one last week. I asked an Amazon representation and he said that the estimated release date is the 2nd week of march 2011. I hope it's earlier than that...

Only if u watch a good amount of 3d programing, ie movies or games not much broadcasting 3d available, i own two 3d sets but only because i wanted the 240 hz, which does make a difference to me, if i could of found a set with the 240 hz and no 3d for less i would of chose it, 3d is just a gimmick to me in my opinion.....

This TV is not yet released. Vizio appeared to have released it and my local Costco received 10, but when I went to purchase last weekend (May 12), I was told they have a defect and were being sent back to Vizio. This TV has been removed from the Costco web site and the Vizio web site, which had shown the TV as "Now Available" went to "Out of Stock" yesterday and is back to "Coming Soon" (May 17). So we are on hold waiting for this tv. It appears to be nearly the same as the SR version but with twice the contrast ratio (10M to 1 vs 5M to 1). I do hope that Vizio adds a browser to the online apps. Costco had this listed for $1299+ $49 shipping when it was on their web site. I was told that the "in-warehouse" price would be $1249, and Costco doubles the warranty to 2 years.

You may have just swayed my decision. I want to love this TV and I won't be buying for a week or so still. I can only hope for the $1479 price tag soon.I've heard sometimes the buzzing doesn't start for a week or so. I hope we each don't have to hear it though.

Samsung has the UN65c8000 scheduled to be released in July, usually available online a few weeks before they hit the stores.I think the 55 might be to small for 3D in a larger room, waiting for it too

Basically right now 4k is the newest technology & there's not enough content out in 4k yet. It's a much higher resolution so u probably won't be able to tell the difference anyway. But I'm sure within the next 2 years you'll see 4k at higher hz. My opinion not worth the money right now. Stick with led tv at 240Hz with a quad core processor. Cheaper & will hold up well for a few years

It's more because it's imported from japan. The blue and red aren't available in the states yet. Sony just announced the blue would be coming to the states this fall, no word on the red though. So if you can wait it would save you some $$$

Well if your sold on the 3D, you would have to look at the Toshiba 58l7350u. If your looking at cost and still want an amazing picture then the Toshiba 58l7300u is the tv for you. The 7300 series Toshiba is the top of the line unless your looking to the future and want to go with the 4K resolution.

What combo was amazon offering? The new Panasonic TVs (2011 models) should be available in March as per an article on engadget on 02/03, so chances are that prices will drop and/or combos will be offered in the coming weeks. But inventories may be limited I am assuming

3d blu ray is supposed to show up sometime around the end of 2010. its disappointing because i just bought this TV expecting to buy a ps3 so i could watch 3d blu ray, but i'm second guessing buying the ps3 just so i can watch 3d movies since spending 650 on a playstation for the console and blu ray player seems like a huge waste of money.

I went ahead and got the PS3 for future blu-ray 3D and 3D gaming as opposed to the Samsung 3D blu-ray player even though that would have netted me the glasses/movie deal as I bought the ln46c750 at the same time. It's just too versatile especially since I have no other next gen gaming systems. Really there are less than 5 3D blu-ray movies right now, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Monsters vs. Aliens, Coraline? (not sure) are there even any others than that? My opinion is the versatility is worth the delay.
