Although Samsung label the model as a 'full hd 3d' set, it's actually only half that. It's 1080p when watching 2d, but 540p when watching 3d. This will be the reason for the picture differences you've mentioned. 2d hd does look great on that set though. And yes, peel off the film on the glasses. It's just to protect them from scratches before it reaches the consumer.

What a coincidence. My airbag warning light came on as I was driving home today. And before anyone asks, no, I didn't crash!

Here's a pic of Gloria helping me fix the Datsun. It was taken a couple of years ago before her accident. She was run over last year and now only has one eye. She's still cute though.

That was great fun Martin. Thanks

I'll concede that for the most active gives a better picture than passive (or Cinema 3D as its marketed as because passive sounds negative), but when you take into consideration the flicker and crosstalk problems active has, then Cinema 3D might well be a better option overall. Add to that the fact that Cinema glasses are dirt cheap (literally pennies as apposed to about £50+ per pair), lightweight, don't require batteries (that could run out at an inconvenient time), or could go faulty (something I've seen a number of times with active glasses). Another cool feature (which the Philips I linked to has) is that if you're a gamer, then you can get a pair of 'all left' glasses and a pair of 'all right' glasses and play a two player game on the same screen at the same time, but each player viewing a FULL screen! There has also been talk of using the same tech to watch two programmes at the same time full screen, but that needs things like the sound sorting and twin tuners, so maybe something for future models. I'd love that, me watching the BTCC and the missus watching the Eastenders omnibus. Both in peace Take those points on board, but try them both.

Yep, I think I was right then.

I don't know if this has posted on here before (I had a quick look), but these are pretty cool. I wish there was a 350z version, but I might get a blue one of these as to the untrained eye it could be mistaken for a 350 http://autoregalia.co.uk/Items/rm_mouwl ... %20-%20Red

IMHO Zclub members are at an advantage on this one .... oh well I don't know about that. I'm struggling with that one, and the best guess I have I got from over here. I can't find any mention of a hotel on either site linked with 'the French emblem'

I'm not all that bothered about 3D myself, but I have to say that when I had a go at Gran Tourismo 5 in 3D it was fantastic. Also, *cough* adult films are, shall I say, interesting!

If it was the smoke from fireworks it wouldn't have been a mile thick so you can't blame people not driving at an inappropriate speed. Maybe it was people slowing down suddenly after hitting a surprise section of smoke and a concertina affect happened with some not slowing as much as the traffic in front? You wouldn't see smoke at night until you are right up to it.

In my opinion Philips produce the best 3D LEDs at the moment, but a 47" is slightly over the OP's budget. http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv- ... -47pfl7666

So why active 3D over passive?

After getting stuck on the inlaws estate last year (the last place you'd want to be stuck ), I decided to buy a set to stick in the boot just in case. It could well be the best £35 I ever spend.

I guess I had the opposite last week at the petrol station. When I went in to pay, the lady attendant remarked in a slightly disparaging way "good grief, £95 to fill a Nissan!"

How about paying homage to the 240Z with a nice 70's Nissan colour? Here's a link to the paint codes and examples. I think a 350 would look really good in 112 yellow. Or the 305 light blue metallic?

I'm in too. Viva 'La Toon'
