nah ive had no problems, havent watched too much hd sport on it though if im honest. Also i bought it a month ago and was 100 quid more. so although your kinda getting a bargain ive got a feeling the new ones are literally just around the corner..

Thanks Will that's helpful. Picture quality ok? No blurring when watching sports?

i bought that samsung 50'' the other month and its great. apart from it being slow to navigate its really good. 3d isn't something i use but its okay for a film or two once in a while, but just a gimmick really... really rate the tv though!

2013 Samsung media interface is miles ahead of your d8000 munch.

I have a 55" D8000 Samsung (has hardly no frame) and totally agree with Bart.

I don't use smart TV or 3d as its slow and takes ages.

I have a raspberry pi hooked up to it with xmbc.

At your size and price though...the TVs will be smart TVs anyway.

I cannot fault Samsung if I'm honest.

Design is superb

Do you know what you actually want? Obviously its the most for your money.

I have similar features on my media player and close friends who have both smart TVs and 3D TVs.
Everything is so cumbersome and doesn't ever get used.

Youtube might be about the only thing, but searching on a small remote typing letters in is a bit shit and the novelty will wear off after the 2nd or 3rd go.
Having just seen a brand new LG smart TV, I have to say I think its still got a long way to go. I would personally be sinking my money into a better quality TV rather than something mediocre with shiny bells and whistles.

Just my 2 pence ofc.

Panasonic, Pioneer...

Do you particularly want a 3D TV? Do you necessarily want a smart TV?

Any idea what is best?

I'd say a smart TV is a higher priority than say 3D. Be nice to have as much features as possible though.

I want to buy a 50" smart tv and have £750 as a budget and not a penny more.

I was in Curry's earlier and liked this one:

Although there are a few TVs around that price range so not sure what's best. Best picture quality, wifi and 3D are a must. Any other brands better??
