Jack Loftus at Gizmodo (http://gizmodo.com/people/J%20B%20Cougar/posts/) reports a Nielsen study presented also by USA today and engadget where users are less interested in 3d after giving a try on their own (full article at http://gizmodo.com/5635518/study-consumers-less-interested-in-3d-tv-after-experiencing-it-firsthand, original articles at http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/consumer/u-s-consumers-show-high-interest-in-3dtv-but-cite-some-concerns/, at http://content.usatoday.com/communities/technologylive/post/2010/09/study-glasses-for-3d-tv-are-no-fun/, at http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/11/nielsen-survey-shows-high-interest-in-3dtv-low-interest-in-payi/).
