tehgerbil:ruben999: Thanks very much everyone, I think the consensus is clear.
Its true the price of 3D TV is already marginal vs their equal 2D versions:
2D Samsung UA50F5500 $1500-1700
3D Samsung UA50F6400 $1700-2000

Hm, I see what a few people have been saying,
You do get..
5500: 6400:
3x -4x HDMI
2x -3x USB Slots
Built in WIFI
If you intend on using the built in Apps (like TVNZ on demand) or using the TV to play content from a compatable uPNP player (like a Samsung cellphone) having built in WIFI is actually quite a mint feature.
Plus the ability to plug in an extra HDMI device and USB device are again (Perhaps for power users with a lot of peripherals especially) worth an extra 100 or so dollars.
Also, the UA50F5500 is 50Hz, while the UA50F6400 is 100Hz.
Oh yeah, and the UA50F6400 has that dated 4-legged stand (so a strike against it there).
