    When branded 3D televisions cost so much I would highly recommend this cheap one from the supermarket.
    i would not mind buying one these cheap 3d tv just to see if i would like it rather than spend a fortune and decide its not for me

      The Quality matters my friend. First impression is always the last. If you experience somthing the first time in a horrible way, you are not going to like it. Why there are so many different prices on televisons. why there is one out in the market for £1500 and another is for £300 and both do the same job. If you watch both at the same time then you would know the picture quality, picture depth which is the most important for the 3D content and then the contrast ratio. Some of them has contrast ratio as 3000:1 which is almost £300 but the other ones would have 50000000:1 and they would cast more.
      Try 3D content on a quality screen and then you can decide if you would like it or not.

        before you buy, try to really watch the different options next to each other with the same program on it - do this with several brands (avoid a store which only sell one brand).

          Re: 3D content?

          Yes that's true, but one must take into account picture settings that have to be set up the same on both tv's or more of tv sets.
          Also which TV has better true motion feature with higher frame rates which changes experience of movie observation.
          Samsung 3d smart tv by my opinion has best price:quality ratio, but it's up to others to decide of their fav's.
          Myself personally like Philips since it was on the forefront of the LCD technology. Currently using PFL9603 ambilight and btw, that light feature is great for the eyes when person is viewing a program long time at the dark.


          My view on some budget tv sets by order of appearance is next one:
          1. Philips 9706H
          2. Samsung D8000
          3. LG 980S

            Re: 3D content?

            If my current tv needs replacing, no doubt I will buy a 3d tv.
            But I don't think it is worth buying one now personally.
            Maybe in the future when there are more 3d channels available it'll be worth my while.

              Can anyone honestly say that they get more pleasure/entertainment all things being equal out of watching a program in 3D over normal picture, and are not just being confused by all the fanfare and technology ?

                Re: 3D content?

                In a cinema, with a huge screen and all the rest. Yes, I quite like a movie in 3d.
                In my front room, on my 42" screen, sitting about 12-15 foot away. No, I can't see the benefit myself.
                I think the to benefit fully from the 3d experience, the screen has to fill your whole field of vision.

                    Re: 3D content?

                    Yes, cinema experience is unique in every way over any room tv set.
                    Only real solution that would go any near cinema and maybe even over cinema exp. is virtual surround helmet which is now available for such experiences.
                    That would be good, to see yourself in some Lawnmover man situation to say at least.
                    Movie behind a helmet produced 3d and sorround...

                      Re: 3D content?

                      Yes, or perhaps a projector. You can pick up decent 3d ones for about £ 500 now, though I'm not entirely convinced by them.
                      Still need a very dark room to view properly, and a home theatre sound system is a must for projectors.
                      But as far as the size of the picture........
                      How big is your wall?

                        hi guys, as already said (but lots of you will disagree, I know ), but for me even the cinema 3D didn't please me at all (+ wife and kids neither) - didn't feel natural and image wasn't what I expected/hoped for.

                          I would have to agree after watching a movie on a 3d TV you do tend to get a headache and feel a bit nausea.

                            @jonny2by4: It says clearly in the instructions that if you feel headache and nausea then immidiately stop watching 3D content and contact your GP. Unfortunately 3D is not for you.

                            Yes 3D is amazing and Good for people who can keep up with it. Unfortunately again the same case that 3D is not for your friend and thier kids.

                            Yes I honestly say that I get lots of pleasure from a 3D TV. My first experience was watching Avatar on my 3D TV. The whole film was transformed and felt like I am watching a completely different film. It makes you thinks that If the film was not in 3D there were many things remaind unexplained without 3D. So yes a entertainment. Watching the closing ceremoney last night in 2D/3D was amazing when the whole stadium felt like a massive disco with lights everywhere.
                            Depends on the program. I certainly would not enjoy Emmerdale and Corri in 3D, LOL LOL

                              Out of interest, what size screen do you have, as it does appear that you need a large screen to really get the best out of it ?
