3D TVs
- Thread starter C.J
- Start date
The C680, one below the one you want iirc.
Ah right ok, yeah not got mine yet, currently delayed
Yeah same, expected stock is 4th November. Walked away with the 3D BR player tonight, and the extra glasses are in on Monday.

Surely as with all new tech, within 12months prices will fall and the units will improve?
I've got a PS3 slim, so probably won't need the free BR player too.
Will test it out, see which is better.
True, but then you'd never buy anything, as you're waiting for the next version.
My current one is 18 months old, so about due an upgrade.
its not the price for me, i think they are reasonable, its the fact i spent £1400 on a decent one with no picture or backlight issues 9 months ago which turns me off.
buying a tv these days is a lottery, no matter what brand, its hit and miss whether you get a decent one or not, the main problem being backlight bleed which would be really annoying, my dads set suffers from this, does my head in, he says he can't see it.

I think it will take off but for me it's just way too much money for way too little content right now. I would rather get a top quality HD TV and have money left over than 3D TV + 3D Blu Ray player + 3D Sky subscription + multiple pairs of 3D glasses. I will just get an HD TV now and upgrade in 3-4 years time, if and when the technology is more widespread and cheaper.
I love my technology but don't like paying over the odds for things, especially when there is a risk. Early adopters always lose out.

whats classed as an early adopter though??
Completely agree with you Brand I love technology but with the speed everything moves an early adopter becomes a late adopter and then out of date within 12 months. Is 3d tv going to be better in 12 months time compaired to now? will it be better due to harware software? If its software does that mean the latest internet tvs can have firmware updates?
The next stage of 3d is 3d without glasses. But thats going to mean that the sweet spot viewing angle is going to be really small

But there is usually a significant price drop initially, then it's more stable.

3D is still 1st gen right now. It's bound to get a lot better over the next few years as content and hardware improve. I was just in the position of should I, shouldn't I? In the end I went for a very good HD tv for £600 with a view to selling it in 2-3 years for 2-£300 and getting a much better 3d tv for £600 again that might even be OLED by then if were lucky!
And this is what I do now.
I buy a set for £800+, keep for 2years, then buy another.
In 2 years I'll upgrade again when gen2 is ready.
The 3D TV I've just bought is better than my current plasma in HD and SD, so the 3D is a bonus

Suppose it depends on budgets and how long you see your self keeping the TV for. I wasn't prepared to pay an extra £400 + extra glasses for the addition of 3D. I just couldn't justify it with the amount of content available. Especially considering that i would never pay the £60 a month or what ever it is to have the Sky 3D channel. Absolute ripoff imo...
Just started looking at new tvs tonight and didnt realise the price of these had came down so much. I was really siding with the idea of getting a good LED tv but with this one including freview hd, glasses and having 600hz and 1080p im really tempted to just take the plunge. We buy alot of dvds and blurays and wouldnt grudge paying for all the new 3d movies being released next year.
any comments?

This is the one I've bought, but from Currys with 3 glasses and DVD.
Note, that price is only until midnight before going back to £999.
much it cost you all in CJ? and as for the price, if it was that price once, it can be it again
ps does that one do the 2d to 3d thing?
Cost me £999 for the tv, bd player, 3 glasses and monsters vs aliens 3D DVD.
Yes it does the 2D to 3D converter on any source.
Not sure if you're into gaming, but the new COD will be in 3D.
i figured plasma is old tech and is being phased out with LED etc .. however people cant afford LED 3D so are having to buy plasma hence there still making them .. HOWEVER im gonna hold out for LED as the picture difference is millions times ahead of plasmas and lcds and ive owned all 3

Lol, depends which ones you have. Plasma still has plenty of advantages over LCD panels, as well as some disadvantages...
as i said ive owned all 3 and the LED is miles ahead not just inches

Maybe, with the 2 that you have owned!!
I'm selling my current 50" 1080p to my bro at family rates.
thats magic, that just through haggling in store yeah? think i may go for that, right up my street
No that was the deal instore at the time
There's LED, then there's LED backlit. These aren't true LED.
I prefer plasma (to LCD) for the blacks, and the natural colours.
Can't comment on true LED.

i mean proper LED not just LED backlit
You have edgelit and backlit LED. It's just a different way of lighting it. They are both LCD technology which are said generally not to produce as good a picture as a good Plasma.
When you say proper LED do you mean OLED? as that is totally different and when size and price is right should be great.
Lol, hi.
