Re: HDTVs
it was a side feature on my tv, and I love it. but I also don't use it too much. Never will because sometimes I'm just too lazy with charging the stupid glasses.

I know its gimmicky, but how's the 3D movies and gaming on those sharps? That I have not had a chance to witness on the aquos sets. I really like the 3D gaming on my plasma. I don't care much about 3D movies, but they look cool too. Problem with my set is the glasses are the battery powered ones.

My GS4 is stock since its my company phone, and the battery life is unbeatable. I can only imagine how nice it would be rooted. I'll probably pick one up for my personal phone once the GS5 comes out and knocks the prices down on the GS4.
