Do you want a 3D TV but find yourself put off by the price? Dixons-owned chain Currys [1] has announced a 50in set fo a penny less than a grand.
The set in question is the Samsung plasma PS50C680 and comes with a 3D-capable Blu-ray Disc player and two pairs of 3D glasses.
Currys waved aside claims that there's just nothing to watch on 3D tellies, pointing to Sky's new 3D channel [2] and the fact that three 3D BDs are now available to buy in the shops. Toy Story 3, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and Final Destination: Death Trip, since you ask.
"The Samsung 50C680 also future-proofs existing DVD collections, as the 1080p picture technology upscales DVDs to HD quality, meaning our customers won't have to replace their entire DVD collection with Blu-rays," the retailer chirped. We don't, surely, have to point out the flaw in that claim.
Currys' cut-price 3D TV bundle is available now. ®
