3D TVs Not Woth My Money

I am an avid gamer, so I try to get the best TV that I can afford.  I currently have a 42 inch LED TV that has 1080p resolution, but only a 60hz refresh rate.  As I come to the end of my college days, I am looking to upgrade to a better TV.  Every electronics store that I have walked into, the sales person always takes me to the 3D section first.  They tell me that the 3D is great for gaming and watching sports events.  So I put on the glasses, and 2 minutes later my eyes hurt. This may be due to the fact that I wear actual glasses and the people who designed the 3D glasses never thought about the visually impaired.  Now, if I want to play my games in 3D, not only do I need a 3D TV, but the game must support 3D graphics as well.  I tested out the 3D gaming with the setup the store had involving a PS3.  I wasn't impressed as I thought I would be, and I really prefer gaming without the gimmick.  Also, I like watching football, and the had football on to demonstrate the 3D as well.  Again, not impressed, just gave me a headache.  With the price tags far exceeding what I want to pay, I made the conclusion that 3D TVs are not worth my money.  I think I would be much happier with a nice LED TV, maybe after taxes.
