Samsung UE40C7000

The Samsung UE40C7000 is, at the time of writing, regarded as the best TV money can buy.

It has a 2D-3D conversion function, applying depth to flat HD images, although you won’t be getting quite the same experience as you would with a normal 3D television. The only way to get the full effect is from a 3D-enabled Blu-ray player. To make the most of 3D will cost you £100 per set of glasses, plus the cost of a 3D Blu-ray player (around £300), plus the costs of the 3D Blu-ray discs (which might be around £50 each).

State-of-the-art LED backlighting, Freeview HD, PVR, internet and wireless functions make this more than a TV; it's the centre of a home entertainment hub, and well specified for the digital, multimedia future.
