Even when I was editor of a home cinema magazine back during its heyday, I was never convinced by 3D in the home. And it hardly surprised me when manufacturers opted to remove it again from their TV specs.
I'm never really been a fan of the format in theatres either. Wearing 3D glasses always seems to be a chore and reduces the brightness of a movie, I also feel directors – maybe with the exception of James Cameron – overuse the tech as a gimmick, rather than an extension of the art.
