Thanks for the information. I'm gonna have a look in currys, I need to buy a fridge so just gonna have a play around and look. Don't want to buy a cheap set that will make it look poor or not last, I'm sure I read some where that there buy your old TVs? Or is this better to sell else were? | |

Only smart hub feature I use is the DLNA player, which I just access via the source button anyway and not through smart hub. | |

quote: No. Active shutter 3D does not require any hardware specific functions, except for sync device for the glasses. The screen it self is technically no different than a non-3D screen. When 3D was first introduced SONY actually made it available on some of their higher end pre-3D TV's with the purchase of a pair of glasses and an external sync device. As for the SMARThub I really find it slow, illogical and messy. I have an Apple TV connected and can switch to that faster than the SMARThub can load. Tried to watch 3D trailers from the hub, but had to give up as even after 56K style load times, the video and sound quality was just terrible. | |

I like the Smart Hub feature on the Samsung. Limited use yes, You Tube app is alright for a quick browse at funny vids. | |

Yes, I agree, the "smart" functionality of my Samsung is crap and even if it worked properly, I can't see it being something I'd use. | |

yes you can still purchase decent quality LED tv's which will be very good quality but as you say everything now is completely swamped with smart tv's , its not a bad thing but just a personal preference to me. You are probably right though the extra price for a smart is nowadays not even really negotiable but why pay extra for something i would never use. | |

they are good, was messing around with one of the later sets with the dualplay feature and F1 on the PS3 and I was very impressed. | |

3D is well overated imo, nearly all customers I speak to use it once or twice or when they have family around and thats it. | |

Agree that's a waste of money, said it in my first reply, definitely wouldn't buy a TV just for 3D. | |

I love my Panasonic 42" 1080p 3D tv, use it all the time (mainly gaming but also 3D Blurays) can highly recommend purchasing if you have the money. | |

4K isn't within reach yet, unfortunately. | |

4K is high res, this shows it best. | |

Try both active and passive, but personally I prefer the passive. I have a active Samsung in the frontroom and passive LG in the bedroom and prefer the LG but as said you will probably use the 3d a couple times max, theres just not enough content out there. Iv got about 15 3d films and 5 games but I find 3d games abit distracting tbh. | |

It's also not as good as the active ones. | |

I'd recommend LG's passive 3D as you get 7 3D glasses which don't require and batteries and cost next to nothing to replace. You don't get the 'flicker' that you get with active 3D sets (Panasonic, Samsung etc.) | |

If you are replacing your TV buy one that's got 3D. Don't go out to buy a 3D TV though. | |

I'm looking to buy a 3D telly. I have a LCD 42 LG telly at the mo. But was in Tesco and was showing the other half the 3d tellys and she loved them! |
