Recommend a TV
Your recommendations please, want a 42" TV, budget £500. Had a peep in Curry's at the 3D TV's, was impressed. Are they worth getting or is it a flash in the pan thing? If we did get a 3D TV where do you get 3D content from? Do you need a special DVD player? Thanks in advance for any input.

This is going to sound really daft. Having swapped over a month ago from AOL to BT, and not really bothered about setting up BT email accounts (we are still using the old AOL accounts), I finally decided that today was going to be the day when we swapped all our stuff over, and got our BT accounts up and running.
