In 2007 manufacturers Samsung and Mitsubishi released a line of "3D-Ready" High Definition DLP televisions. Today additional manufacturers are selling 3D-TV's, including Panasonic, LG, and Sony. Let's cover some features of these new products:
                       
    DLP, Plasma, LED and LCD 3D technologies
    "Full 3D" vs. "3D-Ready"
    3D Glasses for the new 3D-TV's
The pro's and con's of Plasma vs LED vs DLP is nearly the same for 3D video as for regular 2D video. I would suggest that you research and choose your 3D-TV set based on regular 2D TV viewing. However, if cost is a concern I recommend taking a close look at Mitsubishi's line of DLP 3D televisions.
In my opinion the Mitsubishi line of DLP 3D televisions give outstanding 3D performance and present an excellent value for new 3D shoppers. For example, compare these two models, both available at Amazon.com at the prices advertised on this date:

    Mitsubishi WD-60638     DLP         60-Inch 1080p 3D-TV    61 lbs. $998
    Panasonic TC-P58VT25 Plasma   58-Inch 1080p 3D-TV   142 lbs.  $3599 !

Another advantage of DLP TV's: DLP's are known to be as clear and bright after 10 years as on their first day. But DLP 3D-TV's have a disadvantage when it comes to 3D. DLP 3D-TV's use "3D-Ready" electronics as opposed to the newer "Full 3D".

TV has traditionally only been able to deliver a single image to a television screen. For all the innovation that we’ve seen in TV (including the move to colour, the migration to digital, and more recently, the launch of high definition services), all of these developments have only been able to work within the parameters of a single incoming TV feed - a 2D experience.

So even though HD delivers an intensity and richness which results in exceptional clarity and detail, it is still based on the same underlying picture delivery mechanism as previous TV formats.

3D TV is possible because of a series of major breakthroughs (principally in camera, post-production, encoding, set-top box and TV set technology) which means that domestic TVs are now capable of processing an image in a way that can deliver the depth information to the brain - much like the human eye - and hence add a further dimension to HD.
                                
For the first time, two images can now be merged and played out simultaneously on the same domestic TV display. Polarising glasses are currently used to help direct the correct left or right full colour on-screen image to the corresponding eye. The brain then processes each feed to create a single image, providing a level of depth and focus which means that the content is able to move to and from the foreground and therefore becomes three-dimensional.
