Hi everyone, first time poster but long time lurker. I have been reading thread after tread about 3d TVs and now I could use some help.
Basically I am looking to upgrade my old Wharfedale lcd screen, its been good to me but the picture quality was only OK when it was new and 6 years down the line its pretty poor compared to other screens.
So I came here to ask for recommendations, tips and things to look out for when buying a 3dTV.
It will be used primarily as a monitor for my pc (I have a new Radeon 6950 which I'm dying to test in 3d) but will be used for blu-ray play back both 3d and 2d and ofc the awful rubbish the missus watches lol.
I have about £600 to play with. So far I've looked at both active and passive TVs and in my opinion I can tell very little difference in the 3d quality, however it was hard to compare them as most of the time the 2 screens were different sizes and showing different things. Also of all the active displays I tried I could not notice any flicker, but again it was hard to get an accurate feel for them because I was in a busy store with lots of ambient light.
I have been looking a lot at the LG 32LW450U and its 42 inch counter part. I saw one set up in Comet yesterday and was really impressed by it. I was also impressed by the Sony KDL-55hx823 I think it was (It was getting late and it was the only screen that looked properly set up for a demo.) It completely out of my price range but I was hoping the 3d and picture quality would be the same if not similar to its smaller more affordable brothers.
So long story short: I would like to get a 3dtv for pc and console gaming, Atm I have no bias toward or against active or passive, they both work for great for me. Any hints or tips for when I next go out sampling TVs?
Thanks in advance
