Personally I think it's dumb that you have electronic glasses. They should have worked out a way so you could just use el cheapo's like the movie theaters.

I think 3d is making film makers lazy. Instead of doing great stories, they throw in spiders jumping out at ya just to make you jump so you forget about the crap story lines.

I wonder what Origin looked like in 3d. I think sport would be the best for 3d.

Back in those days they thought microwaves made cooking lazy and so dangerous.

Back in those days.

Likewise. The Samsung 40" is the shizz!!!

Also, reasonably priced.

I know someone who spent 8 grand ona TV that I would rank slightly worse then mine.....

8 grand... daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn... just need to conclude some business and try to get in there before GST goes potty and then send the wife to brow beat the HN staff... I guess the fella you're talkin about has a theatre room... something i can only dream of... perhaps i'll buy me a shed

As silly a question as it is... Are the glasses for the TV the same as the ones used at the cinema? if so i'll drop my sister a line because you get to keep the 3D specs from the movies you watch in the UK... and whilst big they're Michael Caine jobbies, they feel and look much better than those you have to return at the movies over here...

Have a look in Normon Ross, they are part of the HN group but there are some real bargains to be had.

And wherever you buy from, get em to play a blu-ray (I suggest Avatar for best comparison) though a few screens and see if your eyes can tell teh difference, On paper a full HD screen is superiour but twice the price, In the flesh it maybe a different story.

I believe modern 3D movies require modern 3D glasses, and you don't get to keep them.

Our local cinema has said they won't be getting 3D tech any-time soon as the projector+screen required is a $300 000 package, and they needed a pair of $80 glasses for each seat in the theatre.

Went and bought a new TV last night - full HD Sony 40inch job.

It's fantastic - even upscaling SD images into pseudo-HD, it's great. Watching actual HD content is awesome.

Best thing I ever did to a telly was plug it into a really good surround sound stereo. No matter how good the picture, it's still just a telly & you get used to your super duper pin sharp picture in a matter of hours. I have to hide behind the couch watching The Pacific, great.
