3D - 2

3D and me, I'm a wee bit confuzzled. What to do?

Ok so there's been a lot of buzz around 3D on computers and TVs, so I thought I'd ask, what should I do about it, at the moment I have a 1080p 32" LCD Samsung Series 6 and it's a pretty expensive bit of hardware, is it obsolete now? Or can it run 3D stuff? I've heard there are many different types of 3D made by many different companies, for example I've got Nvidia on my PC, and you can set up your PC to run 3D gaming from there, but I've got pretty much no clue as to the requirements, seems like some people say you need a new 3D enabled screen, and others say you can use the one you've already got, so, can anyone set this straight? What do I need, apart from those glasses... actually what kind of glasses are best, there seem to be loads! To cut it short I need to know: What can my Samsung do 3D-wise? What do I need to maximise it's 3D abilities? What's my next step towards 3D gaming, should I wait a bit for it all to clear up or run out now and get a big 3D telly? Thanks very much if you know anything at all about it, I'm pretty much lost, it isn't as easy as converting to HD was :D. I hope you get the gist of what I'm talking about.

1. yes it's very confusing at the moment, your tv can play 3d content which uses a colour split such as red/green and you wear colour coded glasses. this means it will look strange without the glasses. as for your pc you need a brand new 3d enabled monitor + the special nvidia glasses because it uses a different technique to achieve the 3D effect. I am going to wait and see if 3D home entertainment takes off so i'd recommend you do the same.
