Took a gamble & received new 42" 3D TV today. WoW, what a great TV for £350!! Playing through a 3D Blu Ray player the simple to use Passive 3D is really very good. Doesn't hurt your eyes, Glasses are comfortable (clip on's for my glasses also supplied)& have watched Harry Potter 3D, Family very impressed.
Picture on normal TV is good, sound adequate, not too loud or quiet. Very easy to set up & tune in (about 5 to 6mins). The 3D option is simple to operate & even if you don't have a 3D Movie to watch you can use the 2D to 3D converter which gives a 3D effect on normal TV (just set to level 2 or 3 for comfort), really is very good. Was a bit nervous as seems to be cheapest 3D TV available but even just as normal 42inch TV at this price if you don't use 3D, it's still a very good buy - Well done Amazon!

Bought this set and was a bit wary.
Got it unpacked and set up - tuning is painless and the 2d picture looks good with an IPS panel. Colours are strong which I like, but some may want to tone them down a bit.
The 2d to 3d conversion is relatively pointless - it either makes the display band with the glasses on, or just adds depth to the entire image 9at least from the DTV tuner).
It is important to note that this set overscans a little bit. I set my ATI card on my HTPC to underscan, and then tried some 3d content.
This is important: Using underscan on your computer will mess up the sbs processing - leave it in 1:1 format and the 3d is superb - it took me a whole day to figure this out however! Once I did, stunning 3d for a very low price. I only use sound through my amp anyway so this is not an issue for me. If you are deliberating, I'd say get this one.

Have only had this TV for a few days but up till now have found it to be quite good. Some people say it can't be a very good TV for the price, must be cheap and nasty. As far as I have found in the few days I have used it, this is not the case. Reading the reviews before deciding to purchase I noticed that someone said the sound was 'very tinny'. I am wondering whether the location adversely effects the sound as I found it to be exactly the opposite. My TV is set back in an alcove and I found that I had to give it more treble as the sound was very heavy. I wasn't bothered about the reviews regarding the sound because I have a home cinema system which I was intending to connect to eventually but because of the settings in the TV I might not do this now.
I have had the tv for a couple of months now and I am really pleased with it.
Just a couple of minor niggles though. When the set is switched off the settings for the 3d and also the time go back to the default and need to be reset next time you switch on. Although this is not a problem it can be frustrating. Does anyone know if there is a way to save these settings and if so how?
I cannot find any mention in the manual regarding this.
