What do you think is a wiser purchase: This 7.2 inch (no-glasses required) viewer or a 32inch LG 3DTV for $150 less? (LG 32LN520B)

only you know the answer to that. it depends on your needs. They are very different products.

Thanks! I've been looking at the TVs in stores and I really like this one. There is a Sony model that is one up from this one, but it costs about $500 more.

I would just get the TV. There is currently a rebate to get 2 pairs of glasses (until 6/25/11).

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'm deciding between the same thing, and I have chosen to plan on buying the VT25 over the GT25 because it has deeper blacks and apparently (I still need to ask around more about this) has true 24p Cinematic Playback, which is very important to me, I'm a cinema snob. The VT25 also has like one additional HDMI port or something, which really does not matter. The one thing I hear that the GT25 has over the VT25 is the ability to convert 2D to 3D (as best it can I guess). I really don't care about that, though. If it wasn't intended to be in 3D, then why would I want to do a cheap conversion on it? I suppose it could be cool, but I'm just not interested in that. I just want to see things in the best way they were intended to be seen. I am waiting for a price drop for the VT25, that's just way too expensive at the moment.

The Xpand Universal 3D Glasses are better IMO and cost less than the Panasonic glasses. Look on the Xpand website and see if they have something that will work with your TV.

Justin S.: I agree. Few would purchase if picture resolution was no better than the 2.4" displays off my now obsolete Casios. The test is to go to a news channel and see if you can read the scrolling display at bottom of screen. No doubt size and price is the factor. LCD color handheld TVs are no longer a novelty. Using an 'off the shelf' LCD display is far cheaper now as manufacturing costs in mass have lowered....the 'picture tube' has become obsolete. The question still stands as to what 'mobile TV' has to offer and how much it will cost.

M. Robel... Thanks for the reply. Seeing the tv in the store makes me agree with you. There are just so many posts out there on the internet that say it might be too big, and then you have the ones that give you such a huge range of size to distance ratio and it makes it difficult to decide when you are spending that much money. I appreciate your reply, and am definitely going to to with the 46".

I already have a big 2D lcd, 24" would be a downgrade. I have not yet seen a 3D tv that didn't have left-right image crosstalk, so the HMZ with separate right-left screens sounds interesting. After all, I had a lot of fun with the Virtual Boy back in the day...

TV hopeful, obviously you will buy what you think is best and Costco has the new Vizio 55 inch for $1800 but I am floored by the picture on this Samsung. I was going to buy a vizio but decided to hold out for this Samsung once they released their new 55 inch LED LCD and figured I'd get a good price which after a lot of work I did, $1620.00..good luck in your purchase which ever one you decide to get

I currently have the A3 for my 40" 1080i Samsung LCD. I also picked up a new A35 from Best Buy for $150. Now I have a back up/player, If I decide to upgrade to a 1080p TV. Go online to bestbuy.com, see if the stores in your area have any available. If they do, then run! At this price they're going very fast.Remember the five free movie rebate is still going, you have until 2/28.

I have the 40 inch version of this Smart TV with 3D and am quite pleased. I have not used the feature permitting the computer screen to be seen on the TV but it's there and now that my taxes are in, plan to watch movies. Also taking a Great Courses lesson on Philosophy and will watch it on TV. Had a 22" Samsung TV and it performed so well I stayed with Samsung. Bob C

In my opinion DLP is just dying out as LCD gets better and cheaper. Blacks and motion have been greatly improved, they are making them bigger now and the price is dropping. The only drawbacks to DLP are changing the bulb and glare in bright rooms. For me, I don't care about the bulbs because they last quite a while now and they are not that expensive. I hate the way any TV looks in a bright room so glare isn't an issue as I have blinds and curtains. Here is why I am still going with DLP. The price of three replacement bulbs is still cheaper than the price difference of similar quality LCD. Now later on when LCD gets cheaper, that is what I would go with. Now on a TV that is smaller, like forty something inches or less, it's LCD all the way. I have a 42 inch LCD that's awesome. It's a great TV, I am going to end up putting it in the bedroom. With the smaller TVs you also don't have to worry about whether or not it is 1080p. It doesn't matter because the TV has to be bigger for the human eye to see the difference. There may be some other features that might make it look nicer, since a 720p/1080i is going to be pretty basic now, but not the resolution. Unless you have abnormally good vision of course. So that's my thoughts on it. For now I think the DLP is the better buy. Next year though, LCD is probably going to be within a couple hundred dollars. So if I was going to buy a TV a year from now, it would be LCD. Now if you are sure you are going to keep this TV for 10+ years and not upgrade, or you will have it on all day, then the LCD is going to be less than the cost of the bulbs. So in that case LCD would even be better right now, if that describes what you plan to do with it.

I would say yes. I was in the exact same position just a short month ago and before that 2 years ago. My 1st purchase of an LCD was between a 37" and a 40". I went with the 40 and was very happy I did. When our 40" went into the bedroom and we were looking for a TV room replacement it was between the 46" and the 52". So we were looking at 6 more inches or a whole foot. You may not initially notice a big difference in the store because there are so many sets side by side, but when you get it home you'll really see how nice a large screen looks. (if you have the space) Now that we have a 52" I feel like a 60" would be just fine at my home. I ended up with a Samsung LN52A630. Its a very nice set with the 120HZ process rate and I got a very good deal on it. If I had not gotten a deal on the set and had to choose between a 46" with the 120HZ and a 52" without it,,, I'd go with the 52". I think you'll really like seeing a BIG impressive picture. Good luck.

I definitely would especially since you will still be under the retail price. Did a lot of research on LGs warranty program and they seem to be on of the best. If it is a family TV it is going to be put to the test. For me, after 5 years, I will probably be ready for a new TV. (Best TV I have ever had btw.)

Personally I'd go with the highest resolution you can afford. I'll be paying the extra for the 1080P 32" Aquos since I'll be driving a 1080P HD DVD player signal through it.

James Friel, nice price on the 46 inch 1080p Samsung. That sounds like a great deal.
