I was disappointed at the picture, frankly. While the 3 D effect was interesting, it was not what I thought it would be. The picture was slightly darker, as expected with the glasses, but my eyes bothered me after about 5 minutes. As the camera followed the play, the crowds in the background were slightly blurry, but not in the norman "blurry" way. It was almost as if my eyes were out of sync with each other; the ball was slightly blurry as it moved also. Overall the picture was sharp.
I simply didn't want to watch anymore even though I could have at the display with 2 soft chairs and just me watching.
I am a little bummed out now. I couldn't wait for the Mitu. adapter/glasses to come out but now I'm wondering if I want to spend $400 to see a picture which doesn't look as natural as my Mitsu.73837 HD.
Could it have been the Samsung TV? Or what do you think I experienced?

It could be a number of things. Perhaps the TV wasn't in true 3D mode, where they may have taken a 2D feed and had the TV convert it to 3D. Another thing to consider is the fact that the Word Cup is being shot native 50i and converted to 60i for the US. While the conversion is good, the ball looks blurry even on 2D ESPN. And lastly, most of soccer is done with very wide shots of the field, where the depth is hardly evident. The best 3D shots are where there is something in the foreground, something in the middle, and something in the background. As others here have stated, see another demo before making any judgements.
