On the 3DS XL there seems to be less trouble with the sweet spot. Once you have the technology behind it implemented in a real TV it shouldn't be much of a problem anymore.

I can't see this being put on a TV as you'd have to be right in front of it at the perfect distance, so only one maybe two people could see it.

I think a full-size TV with glasses-free 3D does exist.  Not entirely sure, though. 

It does, and with 4K on the horizon it will become more common...but still rediculously expensive. 

Would a room full of people be able to see it, or do you have to be in a specific spot?

a full room.  it is using very very different technology than the 3DS.  it bascially stacks 3 HD tvs one on top of the next so that the pixals physically are in 3 dimentional (even if the spacing is only millimeters apart) and then manipulate the output of each to give a greater sense of depth than was really exists.  so full 3D and no "sweet spot" which is pretty much a requirement for any reasonable consumer product.  4k is needed because without it you can't even get 480p resolutions of your content.

..but it is still really expensive right now.

Ah, that's really kewl. That's real glasses free 3D right there, and I would definitely say that's the superior method as long as there's no difference between the two methods other than whether or not you're wearing glasses. But right now with the 3DS that's not the case sadly. =[
