Is 3d not just a pricey gimmick? How much would a standard LED Samsung 40" cost?

Evil Sausage · 11-09-2013 10:34AM

As mentioned on the iBood forum

Samsung has confirmed that the only differences between the two models are the TV tuners (as the UK uses a different system for HD digital TV) and a few slight differences in product design.

tobehonestwithy · 11-09-2013 11:29AM

I dont post here too often but I was searchingibood today on here as i purchased the TV that is up on the site today and am now just waiting on delivery.

Looks like a bargain tbf. 7 series is only a year old, right?

i will let you know when it is recieved

air · 11-09-2013 12:30PM

This was released in March / April of this year as far as I can tell.
Review Here:
http://www.whathifi.com/review/ue40f7000

Seems to be Saorview compatible based on specs here:
http://alatest.com/reviews/tv-reviews/samsung-ue40f7000/po3-198834307,33/#details
Has a check in the box for DVB-T MPEG4

£1100 or so everywhere in the UK by the looks of it.

Feidhlim · 11-09-2013 12:36PM

Heads up

i bought a Samsung 42" a few weeks ago in Currys for €499 no 3D or no Smartness just a standard TV with a very good media player built in.

and it was 42"

Ive only watched 2 at home since I got a 3d tv, Dredd and prometheus and Its not " well yeah, thats a kinda cool gimmick", its more "holy crap that's fcking fantastic"

it can turn normal tv into 3d mode where you get a pseudo 3D watching eastenders, thats not that impressive but if you get an actual movie shot in 3D, thats where you notice the real difference. highly recommend.

I bought one of these having passed up on a 42in TV on iBood recently which was probably of a similar standard to your own.
For 300 extra this one gives you a better panel (response rate, image quality etc), a built in satellite tuner, smart functionality and obviously 3D including 2 pairs of active glasses.

I like to keep things for as long as possible so I see this set as a good effort at future proofing my purchase. At €400+ less than standard retail price I think it's a genuine bargain.

WeleaseWoderick · 11-09-2013 03:03PM

I really really don't need this but it looks to me to be an exceptional bargain.

Tempted all the same!

Superfin · 11-09-2013 03:05PM

When is the deadline on purchasing this? Might nip over to Power City and check it out

Twiki · 11-09-2013 03:08PM

11pm or when stock runs out - whichever is sooner.

nedd · 11-09-2013 03:10PM

I am trying desperately to convince the wife we "need" this. So far it's not working....

eggnog98 · 11-09-2013 03:24PM

I'm like some of the others here in that I missed a couple of great tv offers due to different circumstances. I'm extremely tempted buying this here especially after reading air's comments regarding future proofing. Although at first 799 did slap me in the face it now seems to be not too much a leap from the previous offers considering what you get in return. My issue is, other than it being 300 over initial budget, that I'm a 22year old living at home courtesy of the dreaded 'R', am I mad to purchase this? I have future-proof ringing in my ear and the knowledge of ibood deals being one-offs although similar offers will rotate. It would be a great incentive to clean up a bit! Thoughts appreciated! :-)

jmch81 · 11-09-2013 03:27PM

I think this will sell out. 2013 model and the forums on ibood have a lot of talk going on, Netherlands, Germany etc.

bruce wayne · 11-09-2013 03:52PM

Are ibood a good site to buy from though ?

matchthis · 11-09-2013 04:13PM

Ibood is fine to order from, only issue is delivery times can be up to a month.

Have a samsung smart tv myself with 3d. Glasses can be expensive, but experience is great. Transformers is amazing as well as Pixar / dreamworks stuff.

I installed ps3 media server and now can stream movies straight from PC to tv, haven't used a DVD in over a year.

7k series is amazing, when I was getting my 6k series, they were over 2 grand

JimBob101 · 11-09-2013 04:15PM

Will this TV work with SAORVIEW?

One great thing about the TV is the Dual-Tuner, allowing you to watch terrestrial and satellite channels without the need of a set top box. Hence you can mount it on a wall and have no other equipment.

If it isnt SAORVIEW compliant, then this would be a deal-breaker for me.

bruce wayne · 11-09-2013 04:36PM

feck it....trigger pulled ;0)

It can handle Saorview and free-to-air satellite.
Looks like it has two satellite inputs so probably dual tuner.

Hi dubrov,

What makes you think that its the UE40F7000STXXU model?

Couldn't it just as easily be another (e.g. UE40F7000SLXXN or another) given that its the european model?

Thanks

I'm not sure but don't think the hardware changes by model number just the regional settings.

For example I know the ES6800 UK model came with a Freesat tuner while the equivalent French model only had a free-to-air satellite tuner.
It was possible to switch the region from France to the UK in the service menu and access Freesat functionality.

What's the story with a guarantee when buying from ibood?

eggnog98 · 11-09-2013 06:25PM

To be honest thinking of cancelling, feel guilty spending 8 months worth of transport on a tv i probably wont appreciate but then again you could look at it as 8 nights out you wont remember! Is it easy enough cancelling an order with these guys? Paid via paypal
