I have a 58" Samsung plasma 3D TV (PN58C8000). It is indeed cool, and I was using it a ton. Then I did the city night race and couldn't see very well at all. I turned it off for that race, but then started racing on other tracks, and still haven't turned it back on in a couple of weeks. I'm digging 2D for now. The frame rate seems lower in 3D, the color is definitely not as good (especially black levels), and the graphics are definitely lower res. Just not sure I love it. I gotta give it another go or two before I decide which I like better though. It's not a slam dunk "yo you gotta have this!" sorta thing.
