3DTV - Simply Stunning Picture

[admin_exported]

Well I've just been down to my local well known electronics shop to check out the 3dtvs - and was shocked at the picture quality.

They had the Samsung UE40c700 and the Panasonic 50vt20 on display and I was surprised by just how good the 3d effect is. Much better than watching Avatar at the cinema. So clear and the 3d really jumps out at u. Both TVs were simply excellent.

In the end I ordered a Samsung UE46c8000 and the bd6900 to go with it. (The 50'' Pana would just have been too big for my flat)

Cant wait till it arrives in a week or so.

Now i just need to buy some decent audio connects to connect the bluray to my sony 2400es amp.

Aren't you going to connect your blu-ray player to your amp via HDMI???

how did the prices compare between your samsung and the panny ? did you have to buy two pairs of glasses aswell ? was the panny being sold with glasses ?

Can't be done. That amp won't repeat the hdmi 1.4 signal sadly. Most 3d blu-ray players seem to have only one hdmi. But the receivers with 1.4 repeat is just around the corner.

And I like that mini-review. Saw Avatar 3D and was slightly impressed at the cinema (only seen that one in 3D though). But if it looks better by the same amount as blu-ray vs cinema does in 2D, I'm in for a treat. I hope... Waiting for Sony's range still to get some comparison. Local stores only have samsung 40c7705, if I have that demonstrated I'd probably buy it right away...

I too went to view the 3D TV's today at my local store. They only had the Samsung 46" and the picture was simply stunning in both 3D & 2D. The set was being sold with 1 pair of specs but the manager said if i wanted to order one then he would be prepared to do be a very good deal on the price & extras!

I wanted to see the Panasonic too but unfortunatley they did not have one.

If i remember rightly the were doing a deal for the 46" & Blu-ray player for £2100 (this was marked price) so you could get them down on this!

Would be interested to know how the Panasonic compared to the Samsung side by side!

its also worth bearing in mind that if one uses a panasonic 3d bluray player with their 3dtv , they wont need to upgrade their amp , as the panny players have 2 hdmi outs , 1 for audio , 1 for video , so any non 1.4 spec hdmi amp will be fine , i think thats a big bonus , and the likes of sony , samsung , lg may lose quite a few 3d bluray player sales for not offering the same ...

for me i prefer lcd to plasma.the Pana will be overkill if it is as good as a kuro, and if so it will be better than great tv.

I have seen the panasonic and samsung 46" LED side by side and both 3 d viewing is superb, The samsung has the added bonus of being so much better to look at!!! Personally i am going to go for the Sony 46" 903 because on the new stand it looks great and i have not seen a 3Ddemo to beat it. the only thing that has stopped me pre-ordering is the thought in the back of my mind that i could get the samsung 50" 3d plasma for about a thousand pounds less,,,, Anyone got any thoughts?

 

[ear]

have you seen the sony in 3D?

 

[chris hollands]

yes, they have the 52" Sony HX903 on Demo in New Malden,Surrey, fantastic 3D Demo,blows the Samsung out of the water but the Samsung only has a demo of Monsters V Aliens and the 3D effects on this are quite subtle. Have now Demo`d most on Market and personally feel that the combination of 3D performance,2D performance,and looks puts the Sony an edge ahead of the others, trouble is the reviewers will do their tech reviews soon and will more than likely disagree!! ,, roll on the reviews..

Why oh why do I live in a small country!? I shall move to the states or UK some day! Over here, it's only samsungs 40c77005 available right now.

Maybe a pana b3d blu-ray hooked up to a Sony TV... Sounds doable to me

The Panny was being sold with 2 glasses for 2200. The Samaung included 1 pair, but if u get the 3d bluray as well u get that Samsung deal of 2 pairs glasses and the Monsters v Aliens 3d.

Managed to get £300 of the bundled price and 1 pair glasses upgraded to the rechargable type. So 3 pairs glasses - party time!

Hard to compare the 2 tvs - the colours were very different. I guess it depends how they've been set up as well. I didnt notice any crosstalk on either - but then its hard to look that carefully instore with the bright lights. I certainly didnt notice any flicker from either set of glasses.

The guy said the Samsungs are released on May 6.
