Do you want a 3D TV but find yourself put off by the price? Dixons-owned chain Currys 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 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. ®

That's just all the way...

People will buy the lie, and then the TVs. I’ll say again the much repeated refrain: a lot of people bought HD TVs towards the end of last year. Why the hell would they want to buy again so soon? I’m expecting my HD TV to last a good 7-10 years.

Um, that's still actually quite a lot of money.

Especially now.

I cant see the point. I bought a very nice 32" HD 1080p Tv for £350 why would I want to spend nearly three times as much?
