Mis-sold tv?

tyeflynn

Hi everybody,
I hope you can help! I bought a 3d tv on Sunday. When purchasing, I asked the salesperson if I needed to pay extra to watch things on 3d such as Sky etc. He said no & that I could watch anything 2d in 3d as the tv would change it although it wouldn't be true 3d. I've got the tv home & set up but I can't watch anything in 3d other than 3d dvd's or without getting a Sky+HD subscription as the Sky+ box doesn't have a hdmi connection. Would I be able to take the tv back & get a refund on these grounds?
Thanks.

I think you would struggle as the sales person told the truth on most if not all 3D tv's there is an option to 'convert 2d to 3d' which gives a 3d look and feel for normal broadcasts and it's not up to the sales person to ask if you already have sky-hd, virgin hd in your home already (I guess it's kind of assumed if you are looking at a 3d tv you have this in place already)

To get onto the whole 3d bandwagon you would need sky-hd at a minimum with hdmi 1.4 leads and possibly a new blu-ray player so the cost can mount up pretty rapidly.

However depending on where you brought it you could certainly give it a go but be careful they might try and sell you all the other bits to give you the full 3d package.

Unless you have anything in writing, which I highly doubt, then your chances of getting a refund are slim to none.

just upgrade your sky box they are doing an offer to upgrade for free to all existing sky+ subscribers

Also, games like Call of Duty - Black ops has an option to use 3d.

There are others but its very limited ATM.

The risk of chancing upon the sight of Bruce Forsyth and his dreadful panel, let alone many of the contestants, displayed in 3D, while skipping through channels on a Saturday night, is, for me, an extremely powerful deterrent to buying a 3D television! :eek:

Which TV is it? AFAIK, only Toshiba do not currently do 2D-to-3D conversion

The OP has gone rather quiet maybe the comments about old Brucie sent her running!
