Any Recommendations on 3D Blu-Ray Players, TVs or Laptops???

I'm thinking about (slowly) upgrading my entire electronic / TV systems and was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for 3D Blu-Ray Players, 3D format TVs and or a computer - tower/monitor or Laptop that is 3D compatible????

If I can get a computer or laptop that plays 3D movies and also can convert 2D images to 3D then I won't have to shell out for a TV and player on top of it, at least not right now.

Also I'm not trying to go completely broke, so no $10,000 top of the line stuff needed .

Tried going to Frys to look at their 3D monitors...but...they don't have the software loaded on the computers to let them show the 3D image AND they don't have the monitors set up so you can see them with eht glasses because they are afraid they will get stolen or broken, so they expect a person to pay for the monitor take them all the way home to test to see if they even like how it works 

Thanks for the recommendation, unfortunately that model is way out of my price range - I'm looking for around $400 tops.

As far as blu-ray players, I've had good luck with Sony 2D players. Their upscaling is top-notch. I can only imagine their 3D players do a good job presenting 3D too. 3D isn't exactly rocket-science; it's a simple albeit pricey upgrade.

TVs, same deal.

As far as computers, I have no clue.

This is probably one of the best entry level 3D Blu-ray players on the market . It's what I have and I think you can get the unit brand new on Amazon for $200 . http://www.trustedreviews.com/pioneer-bdp-170-review

Getting a 3D Monitor and compatible video card for your computer won't be cheap.. probably way over $1,000

Thanks :D
I'll keep that one in mind, should fit my needs rather well.

I've had a number of bluray players which became dodgy after a year or so use . I had become tired of the remotes and software etc going south . After some months of research and comparing at a nearby large electronics store , I chose the Pioneer mainly for the high quality video and formats , as well as it's simple operation . And I can tell you it was well worth it .

I mentioned Amazon , but I am not in America , and don't know if it's available there . Here is another address I believe is a US site which sells them .

Well , I will have to agree with you ! And the BDP-440 is not a cheap player . Over many years , it's been a struggle to get after-service for any faulty brand , and generally expensive in repair .
