Should I get a 3D television?

As I revealed yesterday, I am in the market for a new television to replace my existing non-1080p television. The reason I don’t have 1080p now is because 1080p was a brand-new technology at the time and there was no good reason to buy it. High definition programming in 1080p and technology such as Blu-ray simply didn’t exist yet.

Of course, today there are dozens of reasons to have a 1080p television. Television provider like DIRECTV offer on-demand movies in 1080p, Blu-ray discs are recorded in 1080p and even game systems like the Xbox 360 and PS3 are designed to be played on a 1080p television.

Only one problem. 1080p is really yesterday’s news. The real decision today is whether or not to get a 3D television.

But I don’t know anything about 3D!

If you are like me, you no doubt have a ton of questions regarding 3D technology. Like, what makes a television 3D? Or do I really need to wear those glasses? And how much other 3D stuff am I going to have to buy?

The answers to every one of these questions can be found on Amazon.com’s 3D 101 page. This page contains 10 1-minute videos that do a superb job of answering every question you may have about 3D technology.

So if you’ve been wondering yourself about 3D technology, take 10 minutes to watch the videos. You’ll be glad you did.
