The more I use the set, the more I realize that (at least to me) it seems that the set's more of a test bed for an emergent technology (marketed to early adopters who have to have the first, latest, and greatest) than it is meant to be used as a daily set.

Take a look at the attached pic, this is taken from a YouTube video of an electronics trade show in Germany. In order to get the 3D effect, this is pretty much how you have to sit. With a 45 degree 3D viewing area, it doesn't leave much room for more than 2 people to watch at the same time.

My two sons, 11 and 14, aren't as impressed with it as I am.....of course when you're a teenager and have seen the 72" 3D sets at the box stores costing several thousand dollars, it's no wonder why I guess.
