Thought i would go out and see what all the 3D fuss is about yesterday, so thought i would pop down to currys.
Took a look at the samsung 46c8000 first, very nice looking set. They had monsters vs aliens in 3d on the set so i watched for a while but it didnt really blow me away, the image didnt seem too stable, was getting like a double image sometimes around objects, i think this is crosstalk i could be wrong. Monsters vs aliens didnt exactly impress me on the cinema in 3d either tho so it could be the content.
Had a little watch of the lg demo, to me the picture was not as good as the samsungs altho the 3d image did seem more stable but didnt hav as much depth. Guy in currys just kept going on about the samsung tho so i left the store. told him i was going to take a look at the sony and he said he has not seen them yet but the samsung will no doubt be better anyway. So i decided to leave the store because i cant be done with idiots.
So after seeing the samsung c8000 and lg lx9900 3d demos in currys i was left feeling that my 3d experience was pretty poor and not worth looking into.
That was until i went to look at the sony center. they only had the 40hx803 in stock but i got to see a good veriety of 3d demos on the set and i was blown away by how good the 3d experience was on the sony. Even on a 40" the experience was good. The image seemed rock solid and through the entire demo i only saw 1 bit in the open range clip there was a little ghosting around a moving character for a short time but it did not effect the experience like the samsung 1 did.
The glasses felt a little tight to begin with but soon loosened and i forgot i was even wearing them. And at least the sony glasses feel as if they are worth close to the £100 asking price as they felt very well built. They also blocked out alot of light unlike the other 2 models which made for a better experience.
ill be waiting for the 46" version of the same set to come out then may take the plunge into 3d.
It may have been the setup or the content was alot better on the sony demo but to me the sony set blew the others away.
Didnt really go into looking at the 2d image on the sets but all looked fairly good. I think any set in this price range your going to be pretty happy with the 2d image.
