3D TV Guide
Below are the most popular manufacturers of 3D TVs along with their most popular models - each has a link to the detail page where you can find more information and the cheapest deals for that model
Samsung 3D TVs
Samsung say they won the race in the 3D TV war but producing the very first 3D FHD LED and they claim it will change the way you watch TV forever. Their new models take the very best picture quality from their Samsung "HyperReal Engine" and combine it with the latest in 3D viewing experience.
What is now being described as "the immersive viewing experience" takes normal flat imagery and turnings it into breathtaking 3dimensional images so good you feel like you can almost touch them.. Samsung have also created the technology to take existing 2D movies and convert them to 3D. See below for the the current top rated

Samsung UE55C8000 55in 3D TV
This model has an array of multimedia functions that make it a serious choice for the technically advanced.
It can join up with a DLNA-enabled PC, for live' streaming, and in conjunction with the USB ports, the Television also supports a wide range of audio and video codecs, including DivX HC, XviD, MPEG4, JPEG, H.264 BP/MP/HP, WMV v9, AC3, AAC, MP3, and DTS core.
Some people say there is a slight shadow effect on some images (fine detail images) but others put this down to the quality of cabling between the TV and the Set Top box.
In creating this 3D Television guide we have note that the television performs better after it has been on for an hour - a bit like the old days of "waiting for the tube to warm up" in old style TV's - the reality is with this model it is more to do with all the various clever circuitary synchronising the imagery properly.

Samsung Le46c750 - 3d Full Hd 1080p 200hz Lcd Tv
This model provides a superb picture quality as it is the 200hz - it costs more than the 100hz LED TV but you will find it very much better value for money.
Once you get your TV home. you need to do a bit of tweaking with the set-up - It does come set up well but youc an improve upon this to configure it for your living room - things to tweak are mainly sound settings but also if you are sitting a long way from the TV or in a brightly lit room, you may want to change the contrast and sharpness.
The SD picture is great & the Bluray HD image quality will really astound you. The TV has a wide range of multi media options and will happily play movies and images from any external Hard Drive through it's USB interface.
XBox 360 works great in the "Game Mode" with no noticeable lag. As with the movies, the image quality is superb.
