I was looking at them as I needed a replacement 42 inch TV that sits on my fireplace mantle. I decided against a 3D TV, as I was going to have to replace my receiver, since only newer receivers have HDMI switching that can handle 3D signals. That's something to keep in mind if you have a surround sound setup and use your receiver for video switching.

Went with a 120 hz LED instead. The price premium is still too high on the good 3D sets. I did see a 50 inch plasma that was very cheap, but it was only 720P, which seemed pointless to sacrifice video quality for the 3D effect.

Why not just keep your screen and get a new 3D projector? (I assume when you say projection system, you are talking about front projection). Optoma has some great 3D projectors that are very cheap and high quality. Also, the bigger the screen, the better the 3D effect. That is why you don't see many 3D TV's less than 50 inches (with a few exceptions).
