I bought a 3D TV as it was only sale compared to non 3d TVs. I purchased it for the specs of it acting as a non 3d TV. We have tried the 3d glasses once as a curiosity but have never used them since. The experience was poor, not fun wearing glasses for a movie and the effects in general seemed weak.
I don't think 3d has changed much in 50 years, it is a novelty that crops up from time to time (Friday 13th in 3D, Avatar 3D, various Imax movies) but its not good enough to take hold. Personally I am glad to see it head off to the sunset again.
