  1. Here are five random ones that haven't been mentioned (iPhone).

     

    For watching TV, FilmOn Plus is excellent.

    For fun panoramic photos, 360.

    For the weekend's goal highlights shortly after they have been scored, ESPN Goals.

    For recording yourself (or your other half) sleep talking, or possibly some other use ;) , Sleep Talk.

    For very un-pc, sick and bad taste jokes, Sickipedia.

     

    Oh, and I'll just add Shell Station Locator for when you need some V Power in a strange part of the country.

  2. 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.

  3. Dalos 3d active as its ment to be a better image than passive.

     

    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! :teeth:

     

    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. :thumbs:

  4. So they are investigating the M5 motorway crash and think smoke from a fireworks display is to blame.....

     

    Sorry, this maybe didn't help but if the cars were driving at an appropriate speed for the smoke and at a safe distance then surely this would never have happened?

     

    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.

  5. Thanks to everyone involved today, it was a great day out and lovely to meet you all. And brilliant weather for mid October too I might add! :teeth:

     

    I hope everyone's drive home was more fun than mine; the A1 was dull, and the lines behind all of the caravans were just too long to overtake. :yawn:

    I made it just before kick off though. :thumbs:

     

    :drive1

     

    Should've gone the A696 - I was back in Newcastle for 330pm!

     

    And I left before you too. Typical :headhurt:

     

    :D

    Lesson No1 - never use the A1 to get through the Borders :lol:

     

    Haha, yeah, too true.

  8. Well I'm going to the Newcastle match too, but as it doesn't start 'til four o'clock I'll try and tag along for the drive up. Don't put my name down for food, as I'll just peel off and head back for the kick off when the time comes. I reckon there should be just enough time for me to reach Coldstream with you though :thumbs:

  9. What about Car & Bike Magic in Sunderland? I haven't used them myself but they often get recommended. They have a fab 240Z there, and the guy is a member on the ZClub.

  10. Martinmac mentioned some possible upcoming meetings, so I thought I'd pop my head over the fence from the ZClub and say hello. Hello. :wave:
