Technology seems to be catching up really fast. Whatever was the 'in-thing' 5 years ago is very obsolete now. What do guys think about 3D TV sets? I know they are already out there but the idea is yet to catch up with most people. I wouldn't mind having a cinema experience in my house.

IIRC, the last time 3D tv's were the "in thing" was around ten years ago or less.
In fact, there was a year or two (around 2009?) when you could not by a new flat screen that was not "3D capable" unless it was NOS.
In my experience, 3Dtv is a fad that comes and goes, kind of like radio control hobbies, or using "glass block" for architectural design/decor (I personally own/enjoy both of these examples ).
I know exactly what you are talking about. Technology comes and goes so fast that what was once what everyone wanted is now unusable in some instances. I've never wanted to get a 3D TV because I don't like the idea of wearing the glasses all of the time. If only they could make something where you don't have to.
As long as there is a market for the next big thing, the next big thing will keep popping up. But for me, I don't even have a flat screen yet.
I like the part where you say you do not have a flat screen yet. The thing about technology is that as long as an idea is workable, people will tend to come back to it at a certain time. People seem to have a mass psychology when it comes to tech, so that what appeals to one person quickly becomes the phenomenon.
