Hi Folks
Im really looking for all your help and comments as there seems to be so many users on here that have an amazing amount of knowledge something I will admit to having none hence the need for guidance and help...I have so many questions and a bit of a dilemma...so bear with me...
Im currently thinking about upgrading my current Toshiba Regza 42" LCD as its now a bit outdated and Im thinking of a 3D TV, I have been through the all the threads and there are so many pro and cons and different bits of advice and some of you guys have amazing set ups but unfortunatly with two young kids some of these sets ups are beyond me anyways Im bamboozled. Im leaning towards a LG Passive set probably 47" (any suggestions on which model) with looking to spend in the region of £700 - £900 not a huge amount I know, the TV will only be used for viewing and Movies, no games
I currently have a Blue Ray Player (altho used once) Sky HD (HDMI Cable)and a 5.1 LG Surround System (HDMI Cable)
The Issues Im having are -
1. My Current TV (Pic Attached) is Wall mounted (not a tilt bracket) above the fire place and from floor to the bottom of the TV is approx 50" would I still get the benefit of 3D, I don't really want to have to change brackets if I can help it...
2. My Surround Sound System & TV, I spent a lot of money getting the cables, led lights embedded in the walls and don't really want to rip all of these out so the TV needs to remain wall mounted
3. 3D DVD / Blue Ray- for the Kids and to maximise the 3D Experience I know I will require a Blue ray / DVD player however I currently have a Surround Sound System LG LH-T760IA which I like and don't want to rip out and feel this is a waste, so what would you suggest, just have the TV and rely on Sky for 3D content and use the DVD Surround for normal viewing? or do you have better suggestions.
4.OKAY Stupid time - Is it possible to buy a 5.1 Blue ray minus the speakers and use my current speakers? any suggestions please don't laugh...
Its perhaps worth pointing out that I only have Two HDMI Cables embedded in the Wall although I know I could get a splitter? but Im just not sure what the best options would be, apologies if this is a bit hazy and all over the place but Im not sure what to do to be honest...any help and guidance would be appreciated....
