Cant seem to find the information anywhere so I am asking here.
I have a Samsung 67A750
What exactly would I need to do to view 3D content?
can I simple buy a 3D bluray or dvd and use the supplied glasses or do I need to buy a kit?
Do I need the Kit from Samsung?
Do I need Software or more Hardware ALONG with that kit?
If I need to use a PC, will my Specs work?
AMD Phenom2 Quad Core 920 2.8 GHZ
4GB Memory
Asus - M3A78-Em Motherboard with ATI HD 3200 780G

Short answer is you can watch anaglyph (red/blue) content with glasses supplied with anaglyph blu-rays such as Hannah Montana, Polar Express, Journey to Center of Earth. However, color and 3d quality of anaglyph is pretty poor.
If you want quality you will need to purchase a set of shutter glasses and necessary software such as Tridef media player or Stereoscopic player. The Tridef software can do real time conversion of 2d to 3d but quality will vary a lot as it is "guessing" what the 3d image should look like. Both Stereoscopic player and Tridef will play true stereoscopic content but Stereoscopic Player is a little easier to use in this department.
True stereoscopic movie content is very limited right now so you have to decide if it's worth it. Supposedly in 2010 Panasonic will have a 3D blu-ray player so it may be better to just wait. I've read they want 3D blu-ray to be ready when James Cameron's Avatar hit's blu-ray.
However if you are a gamer this by itself is a good reason to go 3D. Nvidia now has their own shutterglasses and drivers for many games, and their shutterglasses will work just fine with your dlp tv...however you do need a Nvidia graphics card.

DDD and Iz3d also have game drivers that are compatible with ATI cards but not sure about compatibility with Nvidia glasses. You might need different glasses for their drivers. Here are a couplel links to reviews of other glasses:
