    Bought it today. Hard to resist at that price. Comes with 4 pairs of glasses, and you can get a Bush 3D Blu-Ray Player for 52 euro when you buy the TV (I opted for it).

    Quality is good. Better than I expected. Image good, 3D also decent, only tested it with Underworld 3D and Crysis 2 on 360, but was good on both counts. Has 2xUSB ports and plays media from these; I tried a 720P MKV and it played flawlessly.

    Downside - fairly tinny, mediocre sound quality. Doesn't bother me as it's hooked up to an amp, but not great if being used on its own. Also not Saorview...again this doesn't bother me.

    Thought I would update this. The 3D has proven stellar, as good as any I've seen on other brand of TVs, but after 3 weeks, the component is acting up, and there's an annoying flicker/shimmer effect all over the screen.

    Thumbs down. :p

    If there is a problem with the tv notify the shop asap. Within 28 days they have to replace the set.
    Usually you get 28 days to opt for a 5 year warranty. Might be a good idea with a cheaper make.

    Argos are pretty good with their Warranty. They replaced a faulty bush tv for me after 18 months without any quibbles

    No, in fairness, they were perfect, gave me a refund, decent service overall, no reason to fault them.

    Regards the TV, it was disappointing, because for 480, the 3D was as good as any LG, Toshiba or similar set I've seen in the sub €800 bracket. Went for a 46" Toshiba Smart Active 3D TV instead, I guess when it's something you're using daily for the indefinite future, it's worth investing in!
