We don't have a smart tv or a 3D tv, but a nice 50 in. HDTV that we got a bunch of years back. I probably know more than I should about HDTV technology, for a bunch of reasons, but I won't bore anyone with the details. Suffice it to say we've been pretty happy with what was at the time a semi-cutting edge technology that has since been edged out by cheaper mass-produced LCDs.

At some point in the future, though, we'll probably have to replace it. I have not seen the 2D to 3D content; my hesitation on a 3DTV would be the lack of actual 3D content, but of course when we bought our original HDTV there was a lack of THAT content, and that changed fast. I'm a video game player, and I would think THAT would be one area where 3D could be really cool.

I'm with you; we maybe get out to the theater for movies once or twice a year, tops- not just because of the kids but also because frankly there is little that is really worth paying 10 bucks to sit in a theater for. Meanwhile, there's stuff on TV that is must-see, I think. Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Game of Thrones (worth the price of HBO, to my mind) ... so it's the whole cocooning thing.

Only thing, I wouldn't call our tv room a "man cave". It's more like the "pick up your damn legos first or you can't use the kinect, since someone will kill themselves" cave.
