So saw this tv advertised but was doubtful buying it as there wasn't any reviews. Taken a punt and brought it so here's a good review for you
Like everything it has it's pros and cons. Yes it's not like most 3Dtvs on the market *that's super slim!! It has a chunky clamshell design but is curved so looks good. This tv only has 2 HDMI ports so recommend getting a splitter to connect more devices. There's other ports such as component,scart USB etc. only briefly used the USB and could get an avi file play but not another? Strange. Would appreciate if anyone could find supported formats/ codecs
People mentioned that the speakers were low and poor but in my opinion they are alrite. There is different options for sound such as movie,game, surround etc like you'd find in most tvs but you can set it to your optimal preference if using it as your main source of sound.
The remote is basic and nothing fancy. I have found thou that you need to point it pretty much in line with the sensor for it to work. It's full 1080p and what I like is when you switch onto something such as a ps3 and watch a film it displays what it is outputting at.
The setup was easy. 4 screws into base,plug all necessary cables in and away you go! Got free view built in, not HD but if you connect a USB drive formatted in FAT you can use it as a DVR which I will most probs try out sometime.
Now for the 3D. 1 word - Amazing! I have seen alot of 3D sets in shops etc and this is defiantly on par with the bigger budget branded ones. I prefer passive over active because it's less strain on my eyes but it's everyone's personal choice again. You get your 4 glasses including clip on ones. The 3D button brings up a simply but adequate menu allowing you to turn it on or off, select the option such as Side By Side etc but I leave it on AuTo and the 2D to 3D conversion which I'm impressed at! Showed of the basic of shows... coronation street with this is on and it adds great depth to the image. I would advise reducing it from 5 to 2 for comfortable viewing!
Haven't subscribed to Sky 3D yet but watched a couple of 3D blu rays and the picture was brilliant throughout. Don't take much notice of this light bleeding nonsense because it hasn't been visible to me or affected my viewing of The Hole 3D and that was pretty dark down there haha. Games have no lag or blurr and look brilliant as well.*
If anyone has one of these I need a little help with one problem. I've connected my mac mini (one of the early ones) via HDMI but want to connect audio to the tv. Should I get a cable from audio out on mac and connect to pc in on tv??
Any questions just ask but I advise to go and purchase one now whilst amazon have them on offer!! You won't be disappointed
