Cheers, but I bought it for the pic quality n size rather than the 3D tech...I know that's yonks away from being anywhere near useable, but the thinking was that this unit will see-in the newer stuff as it comes in.

As for wishing you had a housemate like me, I doubt that! I'm a selfish bastard n the tv's going in my room...the rest of the house will have to contend with the projector screen in the lounge which I can't ****in' stand to watch.

you could of bought it without the 3D and saved your self about a grand...the 3D technology is just placed on the newer LED screens

Listening to whats happening in the USA, I'd expect that by xmas, you will be able to buy a TV that will have better image quality than last years models, will support 3D and will be cheaper. Avatar 3D on BD is scheduled for release in November which should boost sales. The second sales wave will be sport broadcast in 3D - but when? Chicken before the egg, or technology before the content.
Anyway - no TV remote has lasted in our lounge room for longer than a few years, so I doubt the $150(us) glasses will last that long! Hmmm, good time to buy a plasma me thinks OR maybe borrow the Sony OLED TV from work

apparently they are having issues with this fitting it onto a disc...

adn the glasses are 60bux so no problem there for the price you are think you are going to be paying you can afford to lose a set...

Technology's a right ******, and at some stage you just need to jump in and buy something regardless...it's all about making the right decisions for you at the right time with the right budget. Doesn't matter whether it's an ipod, tv, computer or a toaster, there's always something new coming out which will be great until the next best thing comes along.

I got a very good deal on the unit which was enough to sway me, and personally I don't give a toss about 3D until there are some films and tv released which I want to watch. Gawd, imagine curling up on the couch with your missus and leaning over for a snog wearing massive dorky glasses...no thanks! Hehehe! For now it's for xbox, dvd's, streaming from my mac, and later on can do some 3D stuff that interests me.

As BD does not support 1080p @ 48fps, last I heard they were going to use diffence data instead of storing both frames. This was going to get the size down to 150% of 2D BD. I dont know what they are doing know. Wikipedia says "MPEG4-MVC compresses both left and right eye views with a typical 50% overhead compared to equivalent 2D content, and can provide full 1080p resolution backward compatibility with current 2D Blu-ray Disc players."

What brand? RealD 3D or OEM ?

I'm assuming that the bit in the quote about the blue ray was written by you? however thanks coz it makes me look really brainy

just heard that avatar takes up the entire 50gb of a blueray disc in 2D...and 3D is like having two movies...hence the space issues, apprently they are looking into it as they dont want to compromise on quality. but you seem to know a lot more about it then me..

the glasses were the ones that come with the samsung tv OEM I would imagine...that was the first thing I asked as it only comes with 2 sets of glasses in the bundle pack...and my dogs like eating things electrical...
