Many a true word.. Bring back Amstrad.
I dropped a TV on my foot once, I yelled and said a few swear words and
realised it smarted, so this must have now been perfected, ie they have
specially designed them now to maximaise how much it smarts when you drop
one on your foot.

I'm too weak to pick the TV up in the first place so my feet are
teleproof.

So what is this Smart 3D for which you do not need special glasses?

Smart TV is Samsung's new (as from 2011 models) branding of Internet
connectable TVs, as explained by Derby Boy.

I won't think a TV is truly 3D until the image rises from the table
and I can look around it!

Todays TVs are 2 1/2 D at most.

No just free emails encouraging you to use Lovefilm etc.

"Smart" is a useless technology with my broadband connection!

But I watched 'Strictly Come Dancing for the first time as I managed
to record it in 3D.

Works well on mine!

Well, works .. not really tried the apps on it yet as it's still new
and not 3D, but iPlayer works and all the other streaming stuff seems
to .. and I now don't have to stream to the Xbox to watch HD films etc,
the TV sorted it all out very nicely, thank you ..

It was always the case though. I remember what happened when we got bbc 2.
Dual standard. 625line button.
Trouble was the latter were a load of rubbish as they were not containing
the different standard, merely a button for it no doubt intended to have a
module fitted later which never turned up.
I know about this one as Redifusion were a company who fell into this trap.

Well Brian trying to understand what these shops are selling by the way
they label and answer questions you might have a good idea there.

Good grief, did it make any more appealing than it would have been
otherwise, or was it such a novelty, along the lines of the stereo demo
broadcasts of the 1950s with trains chugging across the living room?

Those were great Saturday mornings, TV with BBC sound on the left and Radio
Third Program on the right.

In fact the "stereo vision" is more than 100 years old counting 3D
photographs and cinema. B&W stereoscopic TV was tested around 1950
already and with red and blue glasses in the eighties once more.

Really top quality 3D TV is available only now with HD resolution and
digital compression, most impressing on a 2m screen on the wall with 3D
projection at home...

Or indeed with the Legon stereoscopic viewer, which by virtue of the
optical system, creates the illusion of looking at a 2m screen 2m away.
Oh yes, and doesn't require special glasses, and is completely without
ghosting or flicker! :-)

Thorn produced some chassis like that, the 700 series I think.
A rotary system switch knob on the side that served to switch the
timebase between 405 and 625, but no switching on the IFs and no UHF tuner.
As you said, the manufacturers never produced a conversion kit.
