You've hit the problem for the companies on the head - why upgrade. So many people junked serviceable TVs to go Plasma or LCD (LED is just the backlighting method). There is OLED to come.
I saw a demo of the Sony 3D TV in M&S today (someone else had the glasses on). For a proper 3D source the screen was showing two very different images. Simulating 3D with a 2D source hardly changed it.
The problem will be very little 3D content to watch. There's getting more and more HD channels on Sky but how many will then be 3D as well? There's only so much bandwidth.
I think the fact a lot of TVs will simply break due to poor build quality will mean we all replace 'em sooner than later ;-) But then you won't be buying another cheap TV from them.
