    3d tv is is worth getting ?

    3D TV IS IS WORTH GETTING ?
    My 4 year olsd samsung seems to be packing up. Is it worth buying a 3DTV ?
    Are there many channels out there as yet ?
    Is 3D the future of our viewing ?

    Hi
    I do not have it...yet..next tv will be 3D.But personally I will wait still.

    Not so much on satellite hxxp://en.k ingofsat.net/3dtv.php

    Future,yes.Few years ago we did not have much hd channels.

    And later we will have 4D ..and can smell the fish in adult channels

    I've got a 46" sony bravia 3d tv, it's the led lcd version so very thin. I also have a 3d blueray player, if you have been to the cinema and you are impressed with 3d then its the same at home. I think tv's have come along in the last couple of years and it's not just the 3d that makes the tv good. I have it linked to the net via an ethernet cable and its got lovefilm direct to the tv plus i-player. My sky plus hd box has anytime direct downloads from the net too.

    One thing you need to know about sky 3d is that you will not get the 3d channels unless you subscribe to the complete pack. If you take off say the sport then you loose everything. Its a bit of a swiz i say.

    I'm not sure about waiting for glasses less 3dt'v as I cannot say i am impress with the nintendo 3 d's.

    I would wait a year or two or not bother with 3D at all.

    It's still a gimmick and gives people headaches and sickness.

    I jumped in and got me a 46 Samsung 3D TV recently.

    Impressive at first but as xanadu said, after a while it's just unbearable plus you look a prat wearing those funny glasses

    I also have the Samsung led 3D. It is fantastic especcially when watching film on blue ray in 3D.
    As for tv channels , up to now thare is only 1 fta, apart from some promo and some scrambled ones on packages to which I have no access.
    When I first got the full HD some 20 months ago, there were hardly any channels trans,itting in HD, but look now......so many and of course if you have spider 9XXX.......

    Dont think you can compare HD and 3D ,,3D will only be worthwhile on films IMHO will never have 3D eastenders (i hope)

    Have any of you guys tried the 3D adult channels on Hotbird yet (for education purposes of course)

    If so were you impressed or did those glasses give you a headache?:biggrinjester:

    Ive noticed the price of these 3D Tv's have come down alot recently -The local Sony shop was offering a 42 model for around £700

    Because nobody wants them!

    Prices lowered to meet impossible sales targets.

    At crimbo i got myself a philips 40" 3D LED HD Tv
    its quite good Sky 3d , Eurosport 3D is the only two 3D channls on 28.2e tho' so if yer stuck on sky mini dish in a flat yer screwed not worthwhile IMHO
    but if you have a motor then maybbe worth thinkin' about ive got bored with 3D after first couple dayz i wud much prefer if i didnt hav to use those poxy glasses i tend to switch to 2d HD instead .

    i got a 3D LED blu ray player aswell but have used it once since there isnt much 3D blu ray discs available i just gave up and since its now only worth under £50 quid i doubt it'll ever get switched on again .

    i got TV and 3D blu ray player plus 2x 3D glasses which cost 1,800 euro i think same deal now wud be around 1,200 euro ,
    but at least i got 3 x HDMI slots and 2 x scart slots and an Ethernet port plus 18 Soarview MPEG 4 channls .

    Redlight ( 3D ) HD
    Hustler (3D ) HD

    These are just 100% False advertising channels !

    There has not yet been anything in Real 3D other than of course useless Hype
    im still waiting for a peek at Penthouse HD 3D but remains
    Encrypt :banghead:

    i brought the sammy d550 51 inch 3dtv,had it about a week now.
    there is content available around on sat and lots mkv`s to download and put on ur pc or a storage device which the tv will play happy.
    i had a look at local currys etc.. and brought mine of the net
    people who say 3dtv`s are crap etc... really have no idea.
    every single person i have had around here has wanted to try it and every one says how surprisingly good it is !!!
    you get great depth to the picture and the odd occasional out at ya stuff.
    footy and tennis etc.. is really cool.
    some people have headaches and feel sick whilst most dont so theres another thing.
    the four of us here have been fine with no funny turns lol !!
    personally if ur in the market for a new tv and want something decent just got for one with the 3d and try it, the tech has progressed hence why its cheaper,and its not that people simply dont want.
