spursmaddave Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 who can be arsed wearing glasses to watch TV. I have to wear glasses to watch TV, unless I have my contact lenses in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 3D TV is not for me. You don't look with the glasses on. More I think..... Plus I don't want to sit wearing them at home. Sure if you get a good 3D movie it's awesome but apart from that it's nothing more than a fad I hope. Fully passive 3D TV, well that would change things!

More info on that here http://www.led-tvbuyingguide.com/led-vs-plasma.html after 90mins of watching anyway as the flickering of the glasses starts to annoy the brain. With or without glasses watching tv annoys me! If i see one more DFS ad my plasma will be in 3d format on the front lawn after i have launched it through the window.

ace Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Spent boxing day round my brothers he has a 50" Pioneer Plasma it's probably around 4 years old now it's still the best picture I have seen by far. I have had a Samsung Plasma which I did not like bought another Samsung 37" LCD for my spare room and any quick movements or foortball there's like a stutter in the picture I have tried everything to stop it with no avail. I was told the Samsung and LG are the same panels do anybody know different? This year I bought a 40" Sony Bravia HD LCD and the picture is great even fast moving images so would recommend highly. I saw on a programme this morning that you should wait if buying a 3D TV they have techknology to make them and not need the glasses it's about 2 to 3 years away!

Sarnie Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I sky+ EVERYTHING then don't watch the adverts. +10000000 I've not watched hardly anything live for about two years! Some programmes that the Mrs watches such I'm a celeb and X-factor can be watched in about half the time And, I love football sooooooooooo much but REALLY cannot stand the half time drivel, so I always start watching it 15 mins after it starts and then forward through half time and watch the second half straight after the first half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link there Beavis, going to see if I can haggle them down at Comet or Currys for a 40" and a 32" LED LCD tv! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff-r Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Porn in 3D, priceless Where?! I joke. I think it's a fad, Betamax was a bit before my time, it could have been about when I was a baby but I think it could go the same way. No one is ravving about 3D TV at all. Everyone who sees it in the cinema wishes they'd saved their money and watched it in 2D as it's just not that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I still maintain that it doesn't matter what any expert (proper or armchair) tells you about TVs and which one is 'best', it's all down to the individual and their eyeballs. I directly compared (as in was in a shop and had the three TVs side-by-side, all running the same BD and 360 game) an LCD, and LED and a plasma TV. I ended up with the Samsung 7-series 55" LED, simply because it looked far superior to my eyes. I've no doubt if you ran off and did all kinds of scientific tests that the plasma would have better blacks and the LCD wasn't far behind the LED, but for what I wanted it for it fitted me perfectly. Whilst it's true that you could buy almost any telly and be happy with it as it'll never be seen next to another one when it's in your home, you really do need to get out there to any of the big chain shops (Comet, Currys ets) and physically see the difference in picture for yourself. Bring in one of your own BDs that you know really well and that will test the screen (so anything fast moving and dark is good, I used Independence Day) and make them put it on the screens for you. Do it at a quiet time and they will help you out as they want the sale, although you still don't have to buy from them in the end. Don't just buy a TV over the internet because all the reviews say it's good: It may well be, but it may not suit your eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Also, 3D TV is bloody awful. All the corners are out of focus unless you're looking at them, and that irritates the hell out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Just set up the Samsung after getting back from Comet, went for the one I saw the other day http://www.comet.co.uk/p/LED-TVs/buy-SAMSUNG-UE46C6540-LED-TV/629871 Absolutely stunning picture on SkyHD, PS3 & XBox360 Watched a bit of Avatar on BluRay and the picture is pin sharp but what I have noticed most from the upgrade is the movement which is soooooo smooth For the price I could have got a similar Samsung 3D but it would only have been a 32" Watching Jurassic Park III on ITV HD at the moment and pretty good for an old film, the Dino's look VERY good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Dino's look VERY good Dave, your looking in the mirror mate.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
