I have also purchased 51D490 few days ago and let me share my experience with 3D. I downloaded few demo videos and 3D effects were good. You can really feel the depth and when things jump out of screen it is enjoyable specially for kids.
But yesterday I saw IMAX Dolphins and Whales 3D and it was awesome...I bought this TV just for its PQ and considered 3D as just a free add on. I thought its just a gimmick and maybe my expectations were low to begin with. But after watching that documentary, I was blown away! Now consider that I have not owned a 3D TV before and haven't demoed other brand's 3D feature. So I don't have anything to compare it with. But overall I am very satisfied with the performance. Now I haven't used it for more than half hour so not sure if using it for longer periods gives eye strain or headaches. I will update here if I feel anything like that in future.
SAMSUNG is the best when it comes to 3D, the depth and POP are very good, there is no ghosting or flickering.
There is definitely some strain on the eyes while watching 3D for longer periods, but i have read somewhere that after some time the eyes and the brain will get accustomed to the 3D movies and there will not be any headaches or strain.
Guys, i have calibrated the TV with "HDTV Calibration wizard" and the picture quality is just awesome after that.
